And as I sit here, I can hear the river calling me, bubbling up from deep underground, sharing its secrets.’\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom childhood memories of an Exmoor stream and of the Itchen during difficult teenage years, to finding solace on the banks of the Kennet and the catharsis of a storm on the Jurassic Coast, Rivers Run is a love letter from Kevin Parr to the rivers and waterways that shaped him.
