JUNE 2015<\/strong>
\nUsually I try to avoid having expectations<\/strong> at all. The same goes for travelling. In addition,
\nliving a busy life means doing first things first – so I went off to my recent UK trip once
\nmore rather mentally unprepared.<\/p>\n

As a first stopover on my way to Northumberland Santpoort<\/a> in the Netherlands has been
\nscheduled. After pleasant days there I continued my journey to England\u2019s north to attend
\na Wildeye<\/a> sound recording field meeting with sound recordist Chris Watson<\/a> and sound
\nartist and mic builder Jez riley French<\/a> in Northumberland.<\/p>\n

The day before my departure the dutch were busy celebrating the so called Bevrijdingsdag<\/strong>
\n(liberation from Nazi-Germany`s occupation by the Allies) the seventieth time.
\nFor the event The Return of the Liberators<\/strong>\u00a0 80 taxi drivers from London honoured WWII
\nveterans with a free trip<\/strong> to Arnhem.<\/p>\n

I was lucky enough to be on the same ferry as the motorcade on it\u2019s way home. After
\na ceremony on the deck, the motorcade left the ship accompanied by loud marching
\nmusic and bagpipe playing. What a jamboree!<\/p>\n

After this pretty moving experience I continued my journey to my second stopover:
\nmusician and sound recordist Peter Toll<\/a> in Norfolk.
\nHis request for help to improve his bird sound knowledge suited me fine, his home
\npatch provides excellent opportunities for recording common bird species in a rather
\nquiet environment.
\nHis estate is simply a dream. The house alone is absolutely worth a trip.<\/p>\n

After a quite a boring drive across the agricultural wasteland of the Midlands<\/strong> we
\napproached Northumberland.<\/p>\n

Wildeye had chosen a charming hostel<\/strong> quite abroad located in the College Valley<\/strong> to
\nheld the sound recording field meeting<\/strong>. The landscape looked promising and the first
\ndisplaying Eurasian Curlews Numenius arquata<\/em> confirmed my first good impression<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The group of participants has been a mix of sound artists, sound designers, radio
