One Day in June: 24 hours in eight movements
EIGHT SEQUENTIAL SECTIONS FROM THE EIGHT SUCCESSIVE RECORDINGS OF A 
REPLICATED WALK, WALKED EVERY THREE HOURS ACROSS A JUNE ICELANDIC FELL

Eight times I face east	 	across the fell to the cairn

9:25 a.m. Movement one; start to 8 minutes
Down the slope 		track along the south side of the fence 		through a 
yellow mat of marsh marigolds		step/jump the stream that spills from 
rough pasture to ditch 	climb the double fence
	Among the birches
	redwing cackle and churr.
	Arctic fox hunts the hill.

12:15 p.m. Movement two; 9 minutes to 16 minutes
Blown across the wet paddock 	to the leaning post 		follow a horse-track 
east towards the valley 		the next fence 	cross on a downhill slope
	Step with care;
	tussock, ridge, trough, tussock.
	Wind chases the fell.

3:20 p.m. Movement three; 17 minutes to 24 minutes
Pick along the wet hillside 	cross four small streams 		drop down from 
the wind to the valley burn
	Hunched low, the dwarf birch
	is not in leaf by June.
	A raven flies over.

6:18 p.m. Movement four; 25 minutes to 32 minutes
Upstream to a waterfall 		clamber 	onto a raised bog 	an unsteady sink 
to a final stream 		cross by a water’s meet 		up the slope 	to a false 
summit		on up 		over a lip 	to the cairn
	Mosses and lichens,
	rainbows splashed on new rock.
	Horses walk the fell.

9:18 p.m. Movement five; 33 minutes to 40 minutes
West 		over the shoulder 	 head for the gap in the ridge 	down the stone 
and mud slope 		follow my own track 	there are no other footprints 	 
same stream 	different stepping-stones
	The wind picks up
	and floats the whimbrel’s call.
	Colour blue-greys away.

1:32 a.m. Movement six; 41 minutes to 48 minutes
Step step up onto the bog 		step step	sink 	step 	concentrate 		the 
waterfall tumbling into earshot 		along the edge of the burn 		around 
the shoulder of the hillside
	Home lights shine,
	pin pricks in the gloaming.
	Iceland past midnight.

3:29 a.m. Movement seven; 49 minutes to 56 minutes
Pull up 	pull 	pull up		up the hillside 	stride four streams 		step over 
step step over the fence 		on up the slope 	up the slope 		contour round 
to the horse-path 		and the leaning post
	Seven walks in
	the way on the fell is harder.
	Walk, step, stumble.

6:14 a.m. Movement eight; 57 minutes to the end
Step 	stumble 	trip across the paddock 		climb 	over 	over	the double 
fence 		jump the stream 	cross the mat of marigolds 		to the last pull 
last 	pull 		last 	pull 	up the slope
	Plover pipe,
	snipe croak, dive and drum.
	The fell feeds the sky with song.

Recorded with a Sound Devices 702T recorder and two DPA 4060 
microphones. All recordings, text and poems by Martin P Eccles
