He was invited as Minister for Agriculture, but actually came as Minister for Education. The tape was cut on the footbridge on the county boundary between Harleston and Weybread. Since then it has been possible to improve parts of the route of Angles Way – we didn’t wait until it was perfect before the launch, we might have had rather a long wait! Very significant improvements were between Redgrave Fen and the western edge of Diss so this seemed an appropriate section to highlight for our 25th birthday, celebrating both what we started with and what has been achieved since. The event is being organised by Norfolk Ramblers with support from NCC (Norfolk Trails) and SCC (Countryside Access) Meet for 11 am on Saturday 6th September at Redgrave Fen (field adjacent to centre TM 052802 – collection of £1 per car for donation to the Wildlife Trust). Short introduction and light refreshments before a leisurely six mile walk to Fair Green, Diss with a lunch stop at Wortham Ling. Minibus transport will be provided to return to cars. Everyone is welcome, but we would especially like some of our older members who have previously been involved with the Angles Way to join us. Anyone who can now only manage a short walk may join for part of the distance – the minibus will pick up at any point where the route meets a road. The minibus will also provide limited return transport from the Norwich area (not centre of the city – it is a Saturday!) for those without their own transport, please phone 01953 861094 at least two weeks beforehand so convenient pickups may be organised. If you use this facility a donation towards costs would be welcome please. Other enquiries also 01953 861094, or [email protected] In case of difficulty please contact the Area Secretary on 07505 426750. 2 31 The Ramblers’ Norfolk Area Newsletter & Walks Programme August 2014 - November 2014 FAKENHAM RAMBLERS GROUP Programme of Walks – August 2014 – November 2014 Group Sec: Vic – 01263 713613 : Walks Sec: Alison – 01328 712155 All walks start at 10.30 am unless otherwise stated.

  • THE GLAVEN RIVER CATCHMENT Links Between Geodiversity and Landscape
    THE GLAVEN RIVER CATCHMENT Links between geodiversity and landscape - A resource for educational and outreach work - Tim Holt-Wilson Norfolk Geodiversity Partnership CONTENTS 1.0 Introduction 2.0 Landscape Portrait 3.0 Features to visit 4.0 Local Details 5.0 Resources 1.0 INTRODUCTION The River Glaven is partly a chalk river, of which there are more in England than any other country in the world. Chalk rivers are fed from groundwater sources in chalk bedrock, producing clear waters. Many of them have ‘winterbourne’ stretches in their headwaters, with intermittent or absent flow in summer. They have characteristic plant communities, and their gravelly beds, clear waters and rich invertebrate life support important populations of brown trout, salmon and other fish. The Stiffkey is a notable example of a chalk river in north Norfolk, and is classified as one between Edgefield Bridge (TG085363) and Glandford Bridge (TG045415). This report explains the links between geodiversity and the biological and cultural character of the river catchment. It provides a digest of information for education and interpretive outreach about this precious natural resource. Some specialist words are marked in blue and appear in the Glossary (section 5). 2.0 LANDSCAPE PORTRAIT 2.1 Topography and geology The River Glaven is a river in north Norfolk with a length of 17 km (11 miles). Its catchment drains an area of some 115 sq km, with its headwaters in the uplands of the Cromer Ridge. It is fed by several tributaries, including the Thornage Beck and Water Lane Beck, among other spring-fed sources; there are no tributaries in the lower reaches where it flows directly over chalk bedrock.

  • Cambridgeshire & Essex Butterfly Conservation
    Butterfly Conservation Regional Action Plan For Anglia (Cambridgeshire, Essex, Suffolk & Norfolk) This action plan was produced in response to the Action for Butterflies project funded by WWF, EN, SNH and CCW This regional project has been supported by Action for Biodiversity Cambridgeshire and Essex Branch Suffolk branch BC Norfolk branch BC Acknowledgements The Cambridgeshire and Essex branch, Norfolk branch and Suffolk branch constitute Butterfly Conservation’s Anglia region. This regional plan has been compiled from individual branch plans which are initially drawn up from 1997-1999. As the majority of the information included in this action plan has been directly lifted from these original plans, credit for this material should go to the authors of these reports. They were John Dawson (Cambridgeshire & Essex Plan, 1997), James Mann and Tony Prichard (Suffolk Plan, 1998), and Jane Harris (Norfolk Plan, 1999). County butterfly updates have largely been provided by Iris Newbery and Dr Val Perrin (Cambridgeshire and Essex), Roland Rogers and Brian Mcllwrath (Norfolk) and Richard Stewart (Suffolk). Some of the moth information included in the plan has been provided by Dr Paul Waring, David Green and Mark Parsons (BC Moth Conservation Officers) with additional county moth data obtained from John Dawson (Cambridgeshire), Brian Goodey and Robin Field (Essex), Barry Dickerson (Huntingdon Moth and Butterfly Group), Michael Hall and Ken Saul (Norfolk Moth Survey) and Tony Prichard (Suffolk Moth Group). Some of the micro-moth information included in the plan was kindly provided by A. M. Emmet.

  • WALKING in NORFOLK About the Author Originally from the West Midlands, Laurence Mitchell Has Lived in Norfolk for Longer Than He Cares to Remember
    WALKING IN NORFOLK About the Author Originally from the West Midlands, Laurence Mitchell has lived in Norfolk for longer than he cares to remember. With a degree in Environmental WALKING IN NORFOLK Science, he worked as a geography teacher for many years before taking by Laurence Mitchell up travel writing and photography full-time a decade or so ago. Never one to follow the crowd, Laurence is especially interested in off-the-beaten- track destinations like the Balkans, Central Asia and the Caucasus region, and has written guidebooks to Serbia, Belgrade and Kyrgyzstan, as well as Slow Travel Norfolk and Slow Travel Suffolk, for Bradt Travel Guides. When not venturing off to exotic destinations abroad he likes to explore his own backyard of Norfolk and Suffolk, a region he enjoys just as much as anywhere else. In addition to writing several guidebooks, Laurence has contributed to a number of travel anthologies and provides regular travel and destination features for magazines including Hidden Europe, Geographical, Walk and Discover Britain. He is a member of the British Guild of Travel Writers and the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild.
