  • Lejog De Matt Day 1 Part 4
    Day 1 Part 4 Joining a B-road with a sigh of relief, we began to head north-east. The weather was perfect. Bright sunshine and a bit of cloud with a fine tailwind. The road was what Mark euphemistically described as ‘undulating’, meaning next to no flat sections, but had no particularly intimidating hills, either. I had taken the lead and soon realised that, whereas Mark sped away from me on the flats, ‘undulations’, particularly pronounced ones, were more my strength, despite being loaded down with two heavy panniers. It was a bit of a relief, considering all the training that I’d been doing and the fact that Mark was somewhat heavier than me. It also meant that I could ‘rest’ a wee bit on the hills, a strange way of cycling, but somehow effective. We stopped for a lunch in a place called Relebbus. You really have to give the Cornish the prize for wacky place names. Devon has Crapstone and Dog Village and my personal favourite is Cockwood, where I would dearly love to live one day, just for the titillation I’d get telling people my address, but Cornwall takes the cake. In the few hours that we’d been cycling, I’d seen signs for Goldsithney, Cockwells, Ludgvan, Crowlas, Tremethick Cross, Cripplesease and let’s not forget Mousehole. There was also the less exciting, but somehow enticing, Paul. Now I know that this is simply due to my unfamiliarity with the Cornish language, a tongue that is slowly making a comeback after having been pretty much extinct, but if you don’t titter at least once when you see the sign to Tinner’s Bottom, then you’ve got to lighten up a bit.

  • Environmental Protection Report
    Environmental Protection Report LAND USE PRACTICES AND PATHWAYS OF PESTICIDE RESIDUES IN THE MOUNT'S BAY CATCHMENT, CORNWALL April 1992 FW P/9 2/0 0 3 Author: J Proctor Catchment Planning Scientist, Freshwater NRA National Rivers Authority South West Region LAND USE PRACTICES AND PATHWAYS OF PESTICIDE RESIDUES IN THE MOUNT'S BAY CATCHMENT, CORNWALL. Technical Report No. FWP/92/003 SUMMARY. Investigations in the Newlyn Catchment in Cornwall have demonstrated that runoff from aldrin-treated bulb fields lead to pesticide contamination of river water, sediments and fish. Following this, work has been commissioned to document the historic use of aldrin in other catchments renowned for bulb growing and to examine pesticide pathways to watercourses. A study was commissioned by NRA South West to investigate pesticide usage in the Mount's Bay Catchment with particular attention being paid to the historic use of aldrin and was awarded to Soil Survey and Land Research Centre, Starcross, Exeter. Simazine and carbendazim were also identified as other likely pesticide contaminants in common use in the Mount's Bay Catchment. The use and pathways of these pesticides were also examined to indicate the wider movement of pesticides in catchments. Over 180 fields were found to have been treated with aldrin in the Mount's Bay area. Increases of aldrin and dieldrin concentrations were demonstrated both in colluvium and turbid runoff. Pesticide residues were shown to access the watercourse via turbid runoff even during low intensity rainfall with an estimated return period of 2 weeks. Pollution by dieldrin, carbendazim and simazine was demonstrated (up to 2320 ng/1 dieldrin) in river water (Environmental Quality Standard for combined aldrin and dieldrin= 30 ng/1 until January 1994).

  • Roadside Hedges and Verges in Cornwall
    ROADSIDE HEDGES AND VERGES IN CORNWALL Copyright Robin Menneer 2008 History of roadside hedges / old roads & enclosures / pack-horse & slide / turnpike hedges / verges - the “long meadow” / walking on top of hedges / hedge & highway responsibilities / hedges alongside private roads and ramps / hedge trimming & road repairs / modern road traffic and hedges / traffic pollution / current roadside hedge management. There are over four and a half thousand miles of roads in Cornwall, so there are roughly 9,000 miles of hedges alongside them. Highways and hedges are inextricably wedded, physically and historically. As the land was enclosed, hedges were built beside the existing tracks, and as new lanes and roads evolved, new hedges were built alongside them. Again, as the traffic using them changed, many of the roads and their hedges were altered to meet the new demand. Roadside hedges make up roughly one third of the total of hedges in the county. Of these, nearly 1,000 miles of hedge are along main roads, nearly 4,000 miles along second class and minor roads, many of them narrow lanes, and over 4,000 miles along unclassified ways. This abundance in Cornwall of ancient roads, lanes and tracks contradicts old exaggerations about the self-sufficiency and isolation of hamlets within a country parish. Typically Pelynt parish, with a circumference of twelve miles, has some forty miles of road, lane and footpath. Its number of farms and tenements, only a handful today, numbered 31 in 1957 and over 100 in 1812. Transporting goods and animals was time-consuming, and it was an advantage for a parish to have an intricate system of highways so that distances to be travelled were as short as possible.
