MEMBERS NEWSLETTER No. 130 - AUGUST 2019

The Walks Programme for September-December 2019 is enclosed with this newsletter The EBR website https://www.eastberksramblers.org contains the latest information about the walks in the programme. Check this before turning up at a walk, in case anything has changed. New Members A very warm welcome to our new Members: Paola and Mark Connolly Mandy and John Lee Suzanne Lewis Nicholas Ringwald Ann Taylor John White Elizabeth Wilson

You have joined a very friendly and sociable Group and we look forward to welcoming you on our walks. We hope you will enjoy your membership on walks, at our social events, and by volunteering. But even if you play a more passive role thank you for giving your support to the Ramblers, the national Association for walkers and for the protection of our rights of way heritage.

For membership enquiries contact Malcolm Stone Email: [email protected]

Chairman's Chat writes Phil Smith Summer has arrived with a bang. I and my wife spend a lot of time watering the garden, particularly plants in pots which will dry out in a few hours when the sun is hot. The same applies to walkers. Water is heavy which can tempt a walker to carry as little as possible, but this is not something that should be skimped. Don’t wait until you feel thirsty, take a few sips every mile.

Many members will be aware that the Royal Borough has bought 45 hectares, 110 acres, of former farmland with the stated purpose of opening the missing link of the Millennium Walk and protecting the open space and wildlife. The land has been named Battlemead Common and you will find more about it elsewhere in the newsletter.

When recceing a walk on Chobham Common not long ago I was disappointed to find that the car parks on the common have been made pay and display. While local authority finances are under ever increasing strain, discouraging people, especially those of limited means, from exploring the health and educational benefits of this national nature reserve must be a mistake. While it isn’t in our area, I have written to the Surrey County Council to urge a rethink. If enough people do this perhaps this might happen.

Ramblers Central Office has now established first aid training courses for Ramblers’ volunteers, for details go to the Ramblers’ website, www.ramblers.org.uk, and follow the links: Volunteer zone / Support and development / First aid for Ramblers / First aid training.

Details of the East Berkshire Group Annual General Meeting will be found elsewhere in this newsletter. I hope to see as many of you as possible there.

Our East Berkshire Group is part of the Berkshire Area of the Ramblers which has nine groups in total. We meet every two months to discuss issues of concern throughout the area. The Ramblers’ Berkshire Area AGM will be held on Saturday 30th November at Woolhampton Village Hall. See https://www.ramblers.org.uk/go-walking/group- finder/areas/berkshire/area-agm.aspx Countryside Matters writes Gordon Marrs

Path Warden Activities The expected Spring Survey did not materialise, due to RBWM having a problem with installing a new digital mapping system to produce the forms. The forms have now arrived so it will be a Summer survey this year. I have sorted them for distribution to my path wardens and hope to have them back by the end of August.

Planning Issues I continue to monitor all planning applications on a weekly basis. There was an application for a major housing development on land south of Ray Mill Road East, affecting Maidenhead footpath 7, that I checked out. The site is however designated for housing in the Borough Local Plan and will be subject to conditions. These will include protecting the footpath, providing a public open space and new access on foot and cycle to Ray Mill road.

Public Access Battlemead Common – We have had the first meeting of the Friends of Battlemead Common, a group set up by RBWM to manage the project.

The meeting was dominated by the “Wild” groups (Cookham and Maidenhead) who wish to create a “nature reserve” and severely restrict public access to the Common. It is planned to keep the public out of the largest field which has the best views and is next to the Thames, on the flimsiest evidence of possible harm to wildlife. Fences have already been erected in many places and we are being denied a footpath close to the Boundary stones, needed to complete the Millenium and Boundary Walks.

I have sent a written response objecting to the initial planning application, as have the Civic Society and the Cookham Society. It seems that the council are more inclined to listen to the Wild lobby than to the views of established groups like Ramblers and the local Societies, who have over many years supported and collaborated with the council.

If matters don’t improve it may be necessary to seek the support of our members and the public to obtain better access; to show the spirit of “Kinder Scout” is still alive.

Saturday Coach Trips 2019 and 2020 write John Sainsbury & Juliet Witcher The first 2019 trip took 50 members and guests to Hastings on a very windy June day. 35 chose to do a hilly coastal walk from Fairlight through the 850-acre Hastings Country Park Nature Reserve and ending high above the Old Town. Walking in blustery winds of 40 - 45mph was challenging on the exposed cliff-top parts of the walk but we were sheltered while in the several deep and steep-sided wooded valleys on the route. At least there was no rain during the walk, which was shortened from 6 miles to 5.2 miles because of the gale-force winds, and there were good views towards Dover and of a dramatically wind-blown sea. The rest of the group had the day to enjoy Hastings Old Town, home to Europe’s largest beach-launched fishing fleet and with an unusual mix of historical sites, local museums and seaside attractions.

For the second trip, 45 of us made the journey to Winchester on a fine day in August. 30 went on a 6.4 mile walk from the village of along the to Winchester. The route in part used the as it followed the crystal- clear River Itchen but also made use of other named paths taking us through pretty villages, peaceful farmland and three nature reserves to end right in the city centre. The rest of the party had the whole day to explore the City with its magnificent Norman cathedral, Great Hall, City Mill and other treasures. Some elected to follow self- guided walks through what was England’s first capital city. All seemed to find plenty to see and do and enjoyed themselves.

The River Itchen near Winchester

The Future We have come to the decision not to continue as the organisers of the Saturday trips next year. We have both enjoyed arranging the six outings and walks over the past three years. We chose destinations we wanted to visit and areas we were keen to walk in. Now is your chance to take over and do the same! John Vint’s original idea 20 years ago was to make these trips inclusive, i.e. not just for keen walkers but also for those members who choose not to walk but wish to spend a relaxing day in an interesting destination and perhaps meet up with former walking friends. If you take over and stay true to that objective you can go wherever YOU wish. We would be more than happy to meet up and offer hints and tips, as Eve Norton did when we took over.

If you are interested in taking over the role of organiser for 2020 please speak to the Group Secretary Liz Richardson, or e-mail her on [email protected].

The Ridgeway and North Downs Way writes Chris Roper By the time you read this Newsletter a group of us will have completed the most challenging leg of the North Downs Way … Box Hill … and will be approaching the date for Nigel and I’s penultimate long-distance footpath walk for East Berks Ramblers.

We were blessed with good weather (despite one or two heavy showers) over the leg of the Ridgeway from Wendover to Ivinghoe, with beautiful views from Pitstone Hill and on to the Beacon, taking in the wonderful, recently re-chalked, lion below Whipsnade Wildlife Park.

The North Downs Way first two legs have been a real treat. The first leg took us from Farnham to Guildford, an interesting walk taking us past the Watts Gallery and Artists Village and Arts and Crafts Watts Chapel. Certainly, an interesting place to return to as Nigel and I discovered on our visit back in June. Leg Two started with an enroute coffee stop (thanks to John the coach driver’s knowledge!) at the Cathedral in Guildford. A stunning modern building, and a first time visit for many of us. We then enjoyed a day of spectacular views towards the South Downs, a banana break that included ice cream at Newlands Corner, beautiful wild flower areas, bees, butterflies and just about perfect weather. The English landscape and countryside at its abundant best!

To see how we fared with Leg Three please visit our website at: ndw.nigelandchris.net, where you will find photographs from the day and a short write-up!

We have been asked about our walk plans for next year. We will hopefully be taking delivery of our all-weather camper this summer so have made the decision to step down from organising the long-distance footpath walks at the end of this year. This will enable us to reduce our commitments and head off into the sunrise, whenever we feel the desire to do so!

With this decision in mind, we have talked about possible alternatives for the group with regard to the monthly coach walks. Of course, if someone/couple of folk would like to take up the mantle of organising either to complete the North Downs Way or choose a different long-distance path, that would be splendid. However, we did wonder whether an alternative would be for a different member of the group to organise a walk each month, to an area we would find too far to drive as individuals, therefore visiting more distant areas and either walking a linear or circular walk in that area. Nigel and I and, I’m sure Pera and Gordon, would be more than happy to pass on our experiences of organising such a walk with regard to coach booking, drop offs and pick-ups and stops for walk breaks and dealing with the finances. Why not give it a try …..!

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support over the past two and a half years!

Spring break in Lulworth writes Tony Hatch

This four night walking trip ran from 29 April to 3 May and 28 of us stayed at the HF West Lulworth House Hotel on the edge of the village very close to a useful pub and perched high enough up to have views of a huge car park and the path to Durdle Door extending from it. The hotel food was excellent and the usual HF buffet packed lunch was good too.

Our guides were Tony, Gordon and Geordie, each with distinctive styles but all competent leaders. The walks as usual were three daily choices of distance, and gradients to match, along the rugged coast and downs varying in length from seven to eleven miles with ascents of 1000 to 1800 feet. We walked quite a lot of the Southwest Coast Path passing well known points like Dancing Ledge and Durdle Door.and other oddly named Dorset places like Scratchy Bottom where one group had lunch. The range of the walks extended from just East of Weymouth to Studland and Swanage in the East with some inland starts from the Corfe Castle area.

Evening entertainment was provided with quizzes and on one evening a singer/raconteur named Bonny Sartin entertained us. He was a performer in the Dorset folk band the Yetis, who performed in the adjacent village to the one where I grew up. They largely lived in Sherborne where I went to school so it was a voice from over sixty years ago but I had left the area well before they turned professional. Some people elected to visit local attractions like the Bovingdon tank museum and Lulworth and Corfe Castles as less strenuous options.

Well done Juliet on winning 1st and 2nd prize in the photography competition run by HF Lulworth for their nominated charity the Pathways Fund for these two photos.

In all a very good holiday with mainly good weather and many thanks to Arthur Holland for organising the event.

Maidenhead Boundary Walk – Sunday 6th October writes Steve Gillions

The 2019 Maidenhead Boundary Walk will take place on Sunday, 6th October. The walk is organised by Maidenhead Rotary and is a significant fund-raising opportunity for all those who take part. The walk is just over 13 miles long, starting and finishing at Boulters Lock. You even get ferried over the Thames at Bray thanks to the local Sea Scouts! There is a nominal entrance fee to cover organisation costs, with any profits going to charity. There are two ways you can help: by taking part, or by volunteering as a marshal on the day.

Full details can be found at www.boundarywalk.org.uk.

East Berks Ramblers Spring Break 2020 writes Arthur Holland

At the time of writing there is just one room still available (one or two persons) at HF House “Craflwyn Hall” at Beddgelert in North Wales (LL55 4NG) for a four-night holiday arriving on Monday, 20 April and departing on Friday, 24 April 2020.

We will, as usual, be aiming for sole occupancy and the price is £460.00p for HF members and £470.00p for non-HF Members per person, although if we do have enough people for sole occupancy then the price will be a little over £440.00 per person. This is for full board including the usual high standard of packed lunch on each of the three walking days.

Beddgelert is in the Snowdonia National Park which is an amazingly beautiful part of the world and of course there will be some challenging walks on offer each day. There will be the usual three grades of walk offered including less challenging walks using the myriad number of footpaths on the lower hills and valleys.

If you wish to join us then please fill in the application form at the end of this newsletter and send it to Arthur Holland [email protected] a.s.a.p. with a cheque (Made payable to East Berkshire Ramblers) for £75.00 per person. The balance must be paid by 20th February 2020.

If you have any questions please send them to Arthur [email protected].

EBR Autumn Holiday 2020 Friday 11 – Friday 18 September 2020 (7 Nights) HF Nether Grange, Alnmouth, Northumberland writes Gail Cullen There is still availability for the Autumn 2020 holiday at the HF House in Alnmouth Northumberland. The 7-night holiday starts on Friday 11 September 2020 with afternoon tea/coffee between 4pm and 5pm and finishes after breakfast on Friday 18 September 2020.

Due to both the distance from Berkshire and because it’s EBRA’s 50th Anniversary in 2020 this is a 7-night guided walking holiday using HF leaders. Offering a choice of three walks on each of the (5) walking days. One day is “free” to explore the area (possible options available nearer the time).

The total price for 2020 will be £825 per person, however if we have sufficient numbers to fill the house this price will fall. This price is for full board, including the famous HF packed lunches. Non-HF members will have to pay an additional £10.

Single rooms will (as usual) be booked up quickly so if two singles would be prepared to share a twin room that would be a big help. Single rooms will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

If you wish to join us then please fill in the application form provided at the end of this newsletter and return with a cheque (made payable to East Berkshire Ramblers) for £75.00 per person. The balance will be due in the Summer of 2020 (exact date to be confirmed).

Please contact Gail C by email [email protected] to reserve your place, and Gail will let you know where to send the form and your cheque. (mobile 077 3308 7217).

All bookings will be acknowledged by email and dates cheques to be cashed advised.

Rooms are currently being held for EBR Group but these will need to be relinquished very soon so that HF can offer to other customers.

Leaders for Coach Trip Walks 2020

A BIG thank you to Chris and Nigel Roper for organising and leading the Long Distance Trail walks for the last two and a half years and to Juliet Witcher and John Sainsbury for doing the same for the Saturday coach trips over the last three years. They are all hanging up their hats for 2020 and so we need someone to take on their roles for next year.

Long-distance Trail walks As you will have read in Chris Roper’s report on the North Downs Way trail, Chris and Nigel will not continue to lead these walks after October 2019. So this is your opportunity to take over from them for 2020.

You can either complete the North Downs Way or choose a different long-distance path. Or different members could organise a walk each month. If you would like to have some advice or guidance, Pera and Gordon Marrs or Nigel and Chris Roper will be more than happy to have a chat to talk through the processes of coach booking, drop-offs and pick-ups, stops for walk breaks and dealing with the finances etc.

If you intend to start the coach walk in March or April, it needs to be in the January walks programme, which means that you need to have an idea in place by mid-December.

Saturday Coach Walks Similarly, Juliet and John have announced that they have decided not to continue as the organisers of the Saturday trips next year. John Vint’s original idea 20 years ago was to make these trips inclusive, i.e. not just for keen walkers but also for those members who choose not to walk but wish to spend a relaxing day in an interesting destination and perhaps meet up with former walking friends. If you take over and stay true to that objective you can go wherever YOU wish. Juliet and John would be more than happy to chat or meet up and offer hints and tips.

If you are interested in taking over the role of organiser for 2020 please speak to the Group Secretary Liz Richardson, or e-mail her on [email protected].

If no-one comes forward to lead these walks then they won’t happen which is a big shame as they have proved to be very popular.

First Aid Courses

First Aid for Ramblers courses cover the basics and the scenarios that are most likely to arise on a group walk. Whether you are faced with cuts and grazes, broken bones, or something more serious, the half-day course will give you the tools and confidence you need to react and manage the situation until help arrives.

All volunteers will benefit from attending, but particularly walk leaders, backmarkers, and anyone willing to volunteer as the nominated ‘first aider’ on a group walk. No prior knowledge or experience is necessary. For more information please contact the Ramblers delivery team via 020 3961 3180 / [email protected].

East Berks Ramblers Golf Society writes Meg Knight Our first golf day at Hennerton this year in April, was a great success with 15 golfers playing in groups of 3. The Ladies team of Viv, Annette and Pat carried the day. Well done ladies.

Next up is Richings Park on Friday August 9th and I am hoping for a good turnout. We have one final outing this year which will be at Huntswood on September 13th.

As ever, we are looking for new members. Whatever your standard of golf you will be very welcome with or without a handicap.

Please call me on 07811 149789 or email me at [email protected]

East Berkshire Group AGM Friday, 8th November 2019

To be held at 7.30pm in the Dining Hall of Claires Court School, Ray Mill Road East, Maidenhead (Grid Ref: 898 822). The meeting will last for approximately one hour and will be followed by cheese and wine. In addition to reports from the Chairman, the Treasurer and the Footpath Secretary, there will be election of Officers of the Group .

During the year we have co-opted a new Membership Secretary, Malcolm Stone, following the retirement of Neil Adamson from the role in March. Malcolm will formally offer himself to members for election to the Committee. All other Committee members are willing to stand for re-election for another year. If any other member wishes to put themselves forward for election to the Committee, then such nominations should be submitted to the Group Secretary by Thursday, 31st October, using the Nomination Form provided at the end of this Newsletter. At the AGM there will be opportunities to discuss topics of interest with members of the Committee and to socialise over cheese and wine. If you have a subject for discussion, please submit it on the Nomination Form. The meeting should end by 10.15pm. Please note that a report on last year’s AGM was given in the December 2018 Newsletter and the 2018 AGM Minutes are available on the Group website under the Members’ Section/EBR Group documents.

This is your chance to put forward your views and to question the Committee so please do try to make the effort to attend this very important event in the Group’s calendar.

Ramblers Berkshire Area AGM on Saturday 30th November 2019

West Berkshire Group will be hosting the meeting at Woolhampton Village Hall, Bath Road, Woolhampton RG7 5RE (grid ref. SU571668).

Programme for the day: 10:30 A choice of walks of between 4 and 6 miles from the hall. 12:30 Lunch in the hall (bring your own picnic - tea, coffee etc. available - alternatively there are two pubs within 10 minutes' walk) and an opportunity to look at displays from the Berkshire groups and their activities, and to chat with members. 13.30 Presentation by Ramblers Holidays + Q&A 14:00 Presentation by a Ramblers Trustee + Q&A, followed by formal AGM business 15:00 Talk by Dr David Peacock “The Place Names of Berkshire”

We hope that as many East Berks Group members as possible will be able to attend – ideally, but not essential, for both the walks and the AGM.

Pre-Christmas lunch – 18th December 2019 writes Pera Marrs EBR will be holding the usual pre-Christmas lunch at the Dashwood Arms, Piddington on Wednesday, December 18th.

The lunch will be preceded by a 6-mile hilly walk from the pub. The lunch cost will be £22- £25 tba. Menu choices and payment can be made on walks in November/early December, or online. If you wish to join us then speak to Pera on a walk or contact [email protected] or 01628 629155.

Another option/opportunity …… If you don’t wish to travel to Piddington for a 6-mile walk and/or lunch, would you like to step forward to organise a pre-Christmas lunch get together for the shorter walk group ? Alison H is leading a short walk from Waltham St Lawrence on 18th December where there is an excellent pub, the Bell. If you don’t fancy the Bell, then if you start now, before the pubs are booked up, all that is required is to find another pub/restaurant that you like and one that can serve food for up to 40 people. The normal charge is about £20- £25 per head for mains and pudding. Pubs won’t have set the menu or price yet but if you ask what they charged last year for their Christmas menu for groups that will give you an idea. Once the menu is set and priced (circa Nov) you collect names, meal choices and money on the walks during the preceding 3-5 weeks. All sorted! It’s a nice way to spread a bit of Christmas cheer !

New Year Lunch – 19th January 2020 writes Alma Richardson Our popular New Year Lunch will be held once again at Winter Hill Golf Club on Sunday, 19th January 2020. As in previous years we will have a morning walk commencing at 10.15 am starting from the golf club car park.

We have reserved the dining room for our sole use and will be sharing the bar area with Club members. It is a free seating social occasion with large tables and so an opportunity for us all to introduce ourselves to our newer members and enjoy each other’s company. Drinks can be purchased from the bar, selecting from the new wine list or the Gin & Tee bar.

Name place cards with your name and a reminder of your menu choices will be set up on a table at the entrance to the dining room for you to use to mark your place.

The cost for the 3-course lunch is £22 and the booking form, giving menu choices, is given at the end of this newsletter. Bookings are now being taken for this event.
