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.

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.

Wensum River at dusk, with stick

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.
