1. Ronnie Raindrop's journey... by Form Tim

2. In the beginning... I’m falling down as precipitation near the watershed. 1

3. I’m rolling down the V-shaped valley. It’s quite steep. The river’s quite thin so I hope there’s enough space for me. 2

4. I’m in for a rocky ride. It's fast flowing and very thin. I’m definitely still in the upper stage. 3

5. Aaaaaaaagh! I’m falling down a waterfall. 4

6. This is so fast I’m almost falling apart. 5

7. Getting nearer the end of the middle passage and around the corner there’s an oxbow lake 6

8. The meanders are turning everywhere. And it's getting flatter around here. 7

9. The rivers taking forever to get me to the beach. And my friend’s just fell onto a floodplain. 8

10. Look at the rivers load. It’s not strong enough to hold it in the lower stage. 9

11. Look at the massive floodplains either side. And the meanders are going everywhere too. 10

12. Look! I’m coming up to the river mouth and the sea. 11

13. The end. I’ve made it with all of my friends.
