REETH AND DISTRICT GAZETTE LTD ISSUE NO. 265 JULY 2018 Your local news magazine for the Two Dales. PRICELESS REETH AND DISTRICT GAZETTE LTD First Thoughts . up. I rang to complain that my broadband connection was not working; I’m not a technophobe: I was teaching I got a recorded message advising me about computers and computing over to go online to look for possible thirty years ago - although most of solutions. what I taught then is hardly relevant I’ll let you have a rant about people today. However, I am becoming becoming addicted to social media or to increasingly concerned about the ways computer games where the aim is to in which technology is taking over our shoot everybody on your island; or lives and how we are becoming about the perils of the internet. MAC dependant on it. Because, when the technology fails, what do we do? Just recently, because of a glitch, card machines across Europe were unable to accept payments, causing much wringing of hands amongst those who no longer carry cash. In April, a new system failure meant that nearly two million TSB customers could not access their online banking. And last year the NHS, together with many other organisations, was crippled by a worldwide ransomware attack meaning doctors could not see their patients; prescriptions couldn’t be processed; and treatments had to be postponed. Just three examples: The Fire Sale - an all-out cyberwarfare attack that performs a systematic attack on a nation's computer infrastructure – which formed the premise of Die Hard 4, does not seem so fanciful now. Unfortunately, we are getting less and less choice as more things are put online. You don’t need paper bills anymore – you can view them all online. Not much help though when you need a utilities bill as proof of address and only original bills are accepted. And if you are not computer-savvy – good luck to you. So what will happen when the whole IT infrastructure comes crashing down?

    A Parasite of Red Grouse (Lagopus Lagopus Scoticus)

    THE ECOLOGY AND PATHOLOGY OF TRICHOSTRONGYLUS TENUIS (NEMATODA), A PARASITE OF RED GROUSE (LAGOPUS LAGOPUS SCOTICUS) A thesis submitted to the University of Leeds in fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By HAROLD WATSON (B.Sc. University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne) Department of Pure and Applied Biology, The University of Leeds FEBRUARY 198* The red grouse, Lagopus lagopus scoticus I ABSTRACT Trichostrongylus tenuis is a nematode that lives in the caeca of wild red grouse. It causes disease in red grouse and can cause fluctuations in grouse pop ulations. The aim of the work described in this thesis was to study aspects of the ecology of the infective-stage larvae of T.tenuis, and also certain aspects of the pathology and immunology of red grouse and chickens infected with this nematode. The survival of the infective-stage larvae of T.tenuis was found to decrease as temperature increased, at temperatures between 0-30 C? and larvae were susceptible to freezing and desiccation. The lipid reserves of the infective-stage larvae declined as temperature increased and this decline was correlated to a decline in infectivity in the domestic chicken. The occurrence of infective-stage larvae on heather tips at caecal dropping sites was monitored on a moor; most larvae were found during the summer months but very few larvae were recovered in the winter. The number of larvae recovered from the heather showed a good correlation with the actual worm burdens recorded in young grouse when related to food intake. Examination of the heather leaflets by scanning electron microscopy showed that each leaflet consists of a leaf roll and the infective-stage larvae of T.tenuis migrate into the humid microenvironment' provided by these leaf rolls.

    Minutes of a meeting of Leyburn Town Council held in the Oak Room, Thornborough Hall on Monday, 15th July 2019 at 7.00pm PRESENT: Cllr Alderson Cllr Beswick Cllr Holder Cllr Medley Cllr Sanderson Cllr Waites Cllr Walker IN ATTENDANCE: Cllr Sedgwick Mrs C Smith- Clerk Ms Rebecca Hurst- Deputy Clerk Representatives from the Police and Hambleton & Richmondshire Fire Service Four members of the public 4229. PUBLIC REPRESENTATIONS Residents raised concerns over the increase in dog fouling in the Rowan Court area and expressed dissatisfaction with the standard of the verges cutting. Cllr Sedgewick reported back to the Council on a meeting attended with the highways improvement manager to discuss the safety of Moor rd. Highways responded to the following four proposed solutions to improve pedestrian safety; 1. A painted footway on the road –May give false sense of security to pedestrians. 2. Waiting restrictions painted on the carriageway-This would prevent parking on the road, however the highways consider that the parked cars act as traffic calming and slow the traffic down. 3. A pedestrian activated sign 4. Creating a priority over oncoming vehicles- This may cause congestion of traffic backing up the road. Cllr Sedgewick concluded by informing the Council that the highways do not consider Moor Road safety as a high priority, therefore no further steps will be taken at the moment due to financial restrictions. Cllr Sedgewick also updated the council that Metcalfe farms have installed signage at the end of their road instructing traffic to turn right to try to reduce the traffic on Moor Road.
  • Mould Side: Lead, Chert and Grit – a Circular Walk

    Mould Side: Lead, Chert and Grit – a Circular Walk

    Mould Side: Lead, Chert and Grit – a circular walk About 3.8 miles / 6.1 km or 3-4 hours when you stop and look at the landscape. Good walking boots and appropriate clothing is essential. There are several short sections usually no more than 20 metres in length, which are steep climbs or decents of grassy banks. You can usually zig-zag up these. Walking down Stoddart’s Hush requires walking of rocks but this isn’t very difficult other than choosing your path over the rocks. Stoddart’s Hush, by far the most spectacular hush to visit, is one of those ‘off the beaten track’ places which is well worth the effort of getting there. I have placed all the photographs at the end of this document, so that you can just print the front 5 text pages of the guide to take with you. Location: From Reeth turn by The Buck Hotel to go up Arkengarthdale. Between the village of Langthwaite and the CB Inn turn left towards Low Row (sign post = Low Row). The lane climbs up hill passing some large lead mining spoil heaps. Just passed the last spoil heap the lane continues to climb, but after approximately 200m it passes over a flat bridge with stone side-walls, located at the bottom of Turf Moor Hush. Park either side of this bridge on the grass verge. There is plenty of room for many cars. Route: Using your GPS follow the route up Turf Moor Hush. The first 20 minutes is all up hill. About 75-80% of the hill climbing is done whilst your are fresh.

    Newsletter No.29 Spring 2020 A message from the Curator As I write this, in mid-April, I am hoping that we will be able to resume ‘service as normal’ in the Museum this season. However any forward planning has become an almost impossible task as the situation changes from week to week. Ever the optimist I have decided to assume that we will be re-opening on 21st May and be running our programme of events. However, checking ahead will be paramount as we adapt to the latest guidelines. One of the benefits of the lockdown has been longer and more considered messages between Lidar image of Reeth - thanks to Stephen Eastmead acquaintances.

    Gunnerside, Swaledale – Conservation Area Character Appraisal

    Gunnerside, Swaledale – Conservation Area Character Appraisal Designated – 29 January 2002 © Crown copyright, Yorkshire Dales NPA, Licence No. 100023740 2007 1 Introduction This draft character appraisal has been prepared as part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority’s Conservation Area Strategy. It has been prepared by Blaise Vyner Heritage and Arts Consultancy and follows on from a guided walk and Conservation Area Workshop meeting held at Gunnerside on Saturday 20th January 2001 and further meetings on 12 June 2001 and 4 September 2001. 2 Location and setting Gunnerside is focused on the banks of the Gunnerside Beck, and cleaves to the east-west communication routes which follow the rising ground of the north valley side and which enabled the crossing of Gunnerside Gill above the flood plain of the River Swale. This situation, adopted by a number of other Swaledale villages, has rising hillsides to the north, but provides open views to the south, maximising the opportunities for daylight. The modern route through the village gives the impression of an almost linear settlement, but it is actually one with a series of focuses. The principal character of the village’s form derives from 17th century and earlier agricultural settlement, although today’s buildings owe much to the economic prosperity brought about by the lead mining industry of the 18th and 19th centuries. From the beck crossing and its approach, paths and tracks fan outwards, east and west along the Swale, and more particularly, up the valley side to Old Gang, Lownathwaite, and other lead mines and smelting mills. The tracks provides a framework upon which the settlement developed, variable in origin and structure so that now these various tracks are the most significant delineation of the various elements of the village.
