FOOTNOTES Newsletter of the Dorset Area of the Ramblers Association ISSUE NO DORSET FOOTNOTES Newsletter of the Dorset Area of the Ramblers Association ISSUE NO. 77 Summer 2017 Why walk alone when you can walk with the Dorset Ramblers? hy people walk is a hard question that looks easy to answer. WOver time, though, the things we do for a purpose become the things we do for pleasure, particularly when we no longer have to do them. As we move to doing things for the pleasure they can become a personal philosophy. We might walk to enjoy a purity of solitude; Kant argued that when walking, the body “stops being in the landscape: it becomes the landscape.” Most of us will recognise that feeling. As Dorset Ramblers, we choose to enjoy regular, or occasional walking in groups. BUT there is a joy in walking alone and there are also many prosaic and pragmatic reasons for walking alone: 1. Pace: It’s difficult to really go at your own pace when walking with somebody else. 2. Getting together: It can be hard to find a partner who is ready to walk when you are. 3. Early, late, or never: You make a date to walk with a partner and ‘the other’ shows up late or doesn’t show up. 4. The need for speed: You want to build up walking speed, but your walking partners don’t want to race-walk. 5. Tough enough (or Not): You want to do some hills but your walking partner whines the whole way up or down, dreads the next hill, sprains an ankle – Home time! 6. Going the distance: You want to build up the distance to prepare for a long event, but your partners never want to do more than 5 or 6 miles. 7. Chatter: Maybe you don’t feel like talking, or like listening. 8. Misery: doesn’t always love company. 9. Eat, drink, and the journey home: deciding when and where to drink, eat a snack or stop for a meal on the way home becomes a matter of negotiation AND 10. As a Dorset Walking Groupie, you have your regular walking group ‘fix’ and we all know that nothing can compare with their company, conversation or candour. Doug Pigg What’s in a name? On a group walk recently one of our members questioned what the “toller” meant in the various place names that have that prefix (Toller Whelm, Toller Porcorum, Toller Fratrum). Years ago, when researching the history of Abbotsbury, I learned that back around 1000AD King Canute handed over a vast tract of land to one of his henchmen – a house-carl called Orc. It was he who built the Abbotsbury Abbey in 1042 and when he died all his land passed to his wife Tola. Around 1060 she gave all the land to the Abbey and Tolpuddle, which was part of it, means “Tola’s river Piddle farm”. I had assumed therefore that all the other “Tollers” came from the same root. I was wrong. It seems that the river Hooke, which has its source at Toller Whelm and merges with the river Frome at Maiden Newton, was originally called the river Toller. So places along the way were named after the river - Porcorum meaning “of the pigs” (it was well known for its herd of pigs) and Fratrum meaning “of the brothers” since it was held by the knights Hospitaller. I cannot find a meaning for Toller Whelm but since the word “whelm” means to engulf or submerge maybe the source of the river Toller was prone to flooding. Does anybody have any other ideas?

Kate Gocher 2 Ramblers General Council 1-2 April 2017 Southampton University, Highfield Campus eneral Council’s venue this year made it an easy journey for the two Dorset Area Council delegates G- Steve Ryder, Chairman of the South Dorset Group, and Jan Wardell, Area Footpath Secretary. All first-time attendees were given yellow voting cards (Steve), whereas the ‘old-timers’ had red voting cards (Jan) – giving rise to various football analogies over the week-end. Highfield Campus and the Halls of Residence were set in very pleasant green areas of Southampton, and after an initial period of finding our bearings, we soon became used to scurrying back and forth between the main council ‘chamber’ and the dining area. The accommodation was basic but comfortable: dining arrangements were somewhat haphazard, but the food was reasonable. Des Garrahan, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, opened General Council and chaired it adeptly throughout. After a brief introduction and welcome from David Nichols (Hampshire Area Chair) there was a presentation from Des, and our new Chief Executive Officer, Vanessa (Van) Griffiths, which included highlights from 2016 and future strategic direction. Des encouraged people to participate in parallel, virtual conferences on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram - a temptation resisted by the Dorset delegates! There were also brief introductions from Simon Bartlett, Director of Delivery and Development, Brendan Paddy, interim Director, Ramblers Scotland, Angela Charlton, Director Ramblers Cymru, and a new ‘sounding board’ team of Kate Ashbrook, Teri Moore and Christine Grant. The highlight of this session was the presentation by Van, who outlined her previous posts, the most recent being that of Assistant Director, National Trust Wales. As Chief Executive, she sees her priorities for the future of the Ramblers being a shift in focus from the introspection of recent years to working together in the wider context, which included the impact of Brexit. She also explained the Tapestry Project to improve communications across the organisation. This would be facilitated by improvements in the IT infrastructure, which had been the subject of a recent consultation with members. Governance was not mentioned and indeed had a low profile throughout General Council. After a tea break came the First session of General Council, which commenced with a Standing Silence, whilst names of prominent volunteers who had died in the past year were displayed on a rolling screen. There followed apologies for absence, approval of 2016 General Council minutes, bulk elections of vice-presidents, and the election of President. Stuart Maconie was the only nomination and was elected enthusiastically and unanimously (For a profile of Stuart Maconie please see page 8). After appointing tellers and scrutineers, and receiving the Agenda Committee report, the main business of the session was under way – that of the ‘Candidate Hustings’ for the election to fill seven vacancies on the Board of Trustees. Although fifteen candidates had been nominated, one subsequently withdrew, and one was absent. Paddy Tipping (vice-president) guided the thirteen candidates through the process, prior to the first round of elections on Sunday morning. After dinner, Steve took the opportunity to attend a demonstration of the new Ramblers Forum, which is ‘for volunteers to communicate, discuss, and share best practice amongst themselves’. However, this is currently restricted to Trustees, Area Chairs and Secretaries, and General Council members (which as delegates, is a post we hold until General Council 2018.) This restriction was considered, not unreasonably, likely to generate resentment and ill-feeling. However, these are early days. The Second session opened bright and early on Sunday with the financial review – which shows Ramblers finances to be in a better position than they have been for some years. But with falling membership, our future will depend on maintaining current and future collaboration with partners.

    Groundwater Situation Report Wessex (Dorset & South Wiltshire) Update 12th September 2017 Current situation Current forecast risk of groundwater flooding There are currently no groundwater flood alerts for Salisbury Plain, Cranborne Chase and the West of Dorset. The latest summary of the water situation in the South West, giving details of the rainfall, groundwater levels and river flows, can found on the GOV.UK website. The link to these pages is below: August finished much drier than it started. Overall for the month the long term average (LTA) for August was ‘normal’ at 95% LTA, 62 mm. The rivers responded well to the rainfall and most flows reflect the geographical distribution of the rainfall, drier in the north and west and wetter in the south and east. Most rivers are now ‘normal’ for the time of year though South Newton on the groundwater dominated Chalk is ‘below normal’ for the time of year. The groundwater sites show a mixed response with some groundwater sites responding to the wetter than average summer, 134% LTA, whilst others on the Chalk and Greater Oolite are still ‘notably low. Several boreholes have received significant recharge this month and were still increasing at month end others while still receding are doing so at a lower rate. Sites on the Greater Oolite and Chalk are ‘notably low’ for the time of year. Many others are ‘normal’ with the exception of Kingston Russell Road, situated in the West Dorset catchment, which was ‘notably high’. In the West of Dorset, the level at the Kingston Russell borehole, on 12/09/2017, was 105.760 metres above sea level (mAOD).
