The item starts with library shots of the River Avon at Stratford (mute). We then see Peter Green standing in a muddy brook at Naseby in Northamptonshire. He meets Fred Garrett from nearby West Haddon who is an expert an water divining using a yew twig. The pair are seen walking across fields and chatting as they follow Fred's water trail.
