Re: Quiet locations in the UK (no traffic)

["Kevin Colver" kjcolver]

I recently travelled to Massachusetts and had a similar difficulty
finding a human-noise free location to record.  I finally found a
fairly good location but had to drive 3 hours from Boston to get
there.  It's a devilishly difficult hobby we have, trying to find a
place that just sounds natural.

Most of the sounds that intrude on my peace, vehicles, planes, trains,
lawn mowers, chain saws, off-road vehicles, boats, ect. are making the
noise by burning fossil fuels.  It makes me dream of a time when we
could get along without burning the stuff.  I know I burn it along
with all the rest.  Now with the ocean oil leak and climate
disturbance and all. it makes the deal we've made with the devil look
ever more grim.
