There are only around 200 #ChalkRivers in the world. Most of those are in southern and eastern England. Today as part of my ultra training I followed the #TestRiver from the source to south of Andover.
First I had to get there from Basingstoke.

We can’t recreate a chalk stream.
We can’t move one.
We can’t build a new one.
We can only protect the ones we have.

📣 Add your voice and tell the Government to protect chalk streams as irreplaceable habitats.

Just jumped in a cab in Sydney and ‘A Good Heart’ was on the radio which reminded me of the time I met and had a yarn to Feargal Sharkey on the Harris Lawn at Lord’s during a NZ vs ENG test … and I can confirm he does have a good heart.

Wensum River at dusk with a stick. Fakenham, Norfolk, UK. The Wensum is one of 25 chalk rivers in Norfolk. The water is filtered through chalk aquifers, making for unique ecosystems.

Wensum glows at dusk,
Chalk waters weave across land,
Bearing sticks and ducks.
