At the Group AGM, which was held at Rodborough Tabernacle, Ron Dowdeswell became Vice Chairman, replacing John Corry. Next year the meeting will be held at the same venue but on a Saturday. We are planning a walk beforehand with a guest speaker after the meeting. The Area AGM followed at the beginning of December. The business side of the meeting saw me appointed Area Chairman and it was followed by two very interesting speakers, James Blockley, National Trails Officer of the Cotswold Way and Richard Holmes of Cirencester Group who demonstrated his footpaths database. The coming year as you know will see a push for new members. There are a number of initiatives to watch out for including an arrangement for March whereby first year’s subs ......

Also we are offering affiliated organisations a small payment for any of their members who also join the Ramblers. Other opportunities to watch out for are the Get Walking Weekend in May, the Welcome to Walking Weekend in July and the Stroud Walking Festival in September. Footpath work will also be an important part of our work. Watch out for the postcard campaign, aimed to show local authorities how important the footpath network is to people. Also we are keeping an eye on the events in the Forest of Dean and the possible sell off of some areas of it.

The The South Cotswold Group like many other groups in pictures below show the new footpaths and the correct the Ramblers undertakes a considerable amount of work on waymarks: behalf of the walking public that many members, let alone the general walking public, are not aware of. Most Groups have a Footpath Committee which puts Ramblers’ views on proposals to change our footpaths (at least ones that are a Public Right of Way) - this can be triggered by housing developments, farm buildings or a landowner becoming fed up with walkers traipsing across his lawn whilst he is trying to mow it! Here is a brief outline of one case that was worked on by South Cotswold members: Most footpath changes go through the process of application for change, consultations, modification ordered or rejected, and after a period of time if there are no objections R e p o rt fro m J o h n Co rry the change is confirmed. In this case the owners of a farm near Alderley MEMBERS MATTER! wanted to divert the footpath around their property for privacy and security reasons. The request was made in 2003. As it had no great effect upon walkers, and in fact may have improved the views on the footpath, the Ramblers made no objection. It’s very pleasing to keep meeting lots of new members on our walks and also welcoming others of you who have joined to support the aims of the Ramblers. Since October we have welcomed yet another 28 new members. Suggest to your friends that they join us (as I know T h e n e w rig h ts some of you do).

    Gloucestershire Ramblers Area Highways England A417 Missing Link Public Consultation Response 0. Introduction November 2019 gloucestershireramblers.org.uk/A417 [email protected] Ramblers have been campaigning here for around 20 years for through traffic to be removed from local roads (preferably with a tunnel) to make them walkable and crossable again. The landscape would stay the same. The aims can be summarised as - Keep the Cotswold Way and Gloucestershire Way on their Authors’ line - Ensure safe footpath crossings - Retain the landmark Air Balloon Inn – a meeting place for walkers The current proposals - Divert the Cotswold Way and Gloucestershire Way - Extinguish footpath crossings - Demolish the Air Balloon. Ramblers’ Charitable Aims Defend footpaths, protect places we like to walk, improve access, let the public know what we do. In March 2018 Ramblers rejected both options 12 and 30 but offered to work with Highways England to ‘green up’ Option 30. Simplified or Greened Up Option 30 was evolved which - deletes the direct link road to Birdlip (none of the tunnel options have a link road) - keeps the roof on the tunnel as it passes below the Air Balloon car park - uses green flanked bridges where possible along the route for gain in biodiversity interconnect At no stage has taking the road below the Air Balloon site (using relatively low cost tunnelling methods such as at Hindhead) been considered as part of the consultation. In January 2019 Ramblers became concerned about the direction of proposals for the scheme & agreed that landscaping funds should be used to ‘green up’ the new road in preference to the current one.

(Marcus Hills) DISCLAIMER | DMCA BCP5C2HKSOGE / eBook < The Severn Way (Paperback) THE SEVERN WAY (PAPERBACK) Cicerone Press, United Kingdom, 2014. Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English . Brand New Book. This guidebook oers all the information walkers need to enjoy the 338km (210 miles) of the Severn Way. Beginning at the River Severn s source in Powys, mid-Wales, the route follows the entire Severn Valley, meandering through many superb landscapes and interesting towns and villages before finishing near Bristol, in south-west England. The River Severn pulls together threads of history, trade, commerce, civil war and the lives of ordinary folk to produce a tapestry that is finely woven and rich in colour. That walkers should want to trace its course, its many twists and turns, is hardly surprising, not least because of its capacity to oer countless challenges and plentiful delights. Walking the Severn Way is a chance to get away from it all and relax without having to resort to distant mountain regions. The step-by-step route description is divided into four county sections, accompanied by OS map extracts and packed with historical and geographical information about the places along the way. Also includes a route to the source of the river via Plynlimon and a link route from Severn Beach back to Bristol at the end.
