You will walk the quietest mile of the valley with Edwin Marsh, learning to read a chalk stream the way you might read a familiar room. He shows you what arrives before dawn, what the water carries past without hurry, and where the hidden current moves beneath the surface. You will stand still long enough to notice watercress threading the cold spring, and you will learn why the sound one mile upstream differs from where you stand.
