  • Secret Side of London Scavenger Hunt
    Secret Side of London Scavenger Hunt What better way to celebrate The Senior Section Spectacular than by exploring one of the greatest cities in the world! London is full of interesting places, monuments and fascinating museums, many of which are undiscovered by visitors to our capital city. This scavenger hunt is all about exploring a side to London you might never have seen before… (all these places are free to visit!) There are 100 Quests - how many can you complete and how many points can you earn? You will need to plan your own route – it will not be possible to complete all the challenges set in one day, but the idea is to choose parts of London you want to explore and complete as many quests as possible. Read through the whole resource before starting out, as there are many quests to choose from and bonus points to earn… Have a great day! The Secret Side of London Scavenger Hunt resource was put together by a team of Senior Section leaders in Hampshire North to celebrate The Senior Section Spectacular in 2016. As a county, we used this resource as part of a centenary event with teams of Senior Section from across the county all taking part on the same day. We hope this resource might inspire other similar events or maybe just as a way to explore London on a unit day trip…its up to you! If you would like a badge to mark taking part in this challenge, you can order a Hampshire North County badge designed by members of The Senior Section to celebrate the centenary (see photo below).

  • LDWA London Summer Evening Walks 2011
    LDWA London Summer Evening Walks 2011 Thu 1 Sep 2011 London Parks 7 miles. Ldr Rob Myers Summary: I first led this walk last year as a hastily arranged extra walk due to public demand. This year I had time to fully recce it and to iron out a few of last year's kinks. 15 people gathered at Holland Park station. The walk started with a circuit of Holland Park including the beautiful Japanese Kyoto Gardens. Proceeding to Kensington Gardens we passed by the floral tributes on the gate of Kensington Palace to mark the anniversary of the death of Princess Diana. A circuit of Kensington Gardens followed including the Flower Gardens, Albert Memorial, Round Pound and Elfin Oak. We arrived at the Long Water to find that the Italian Gardens were boarded up for restoration. We walked down the side of the Serpentine noting in particular the new reed beds planted to attract Heron. We later passed a Heron busily eating bread on the concrete. After rounding the bottom of the Serpentine and going past the famous "Upside Down" tree and the flower garden, we left Hyde Park and entered Green Park by way of Wellington Arch. In Green Park we found that the Canadian War Memorial was also boarded up for restoration. Lastly through St James's Park in fading light to reach journey's end at Trafalgar Square. Some disagreement over which pub to use so we ended up using two. Rob Thu 25 Aug 2011 Regents Park Area 7 miles. Ldr Rob Myers Summary: My attempt to do this walk last year was abandoned late in the walk due to very heavy rain.

  • Atrakcyjność Turystyczna Szlaku Spacerowego Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Walk W Londynie
    Rocznik Naukowy, AWFiS w Gdańsku, 2018 r., t. XXVIII PRACA ORYGINALNA Atrakcyjność turystyczna szlaku spacerowego Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Walk w Londynie Tourist attractiveness of the Diana walking trail, the Princess of Wales Memorial Walk in London BOGUMIŁA PRZYSIĘŻNA Katedra Sportu Powszechnego, Wydział Turystyki i Rekreacji, Akademia Wychowania Fizycznego i Sportu im. Jędrzeja Śniadeckiego w Gdańsku Streszczenie Współczesna turystyka zachęca turystę do subiektywnego odkrywania przestrzeni, do poszukiwania wrażeń w codzien- nych miejscach pobytu mieszkańców. Taką okazję poznawania Londynu w bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie londyńczyków lubiących odpoczynek w parkach stwarza wędrówka trasą Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Walk. Przestrzeń tury- styczna płynnie łączy się tu z codziennym miejscem wypoczynku ludności tubylczej. Autorka postawiła sobie za cel dokonanie subiektywnej oceny wykorzystania Diana Walk do poznawania Londynu z małymi dziećmi do 10 lat. Dokonując oględzin infrastruktury rekreacyjnej oceniała ją pod kątem specyficznych potrzeb dzieci w wieku przedszkolnym i szkolnym do lat 10. Słowa kluczowe: szlak spacerowy, turystyka, Londyn. Abstract Contemporary tourism encourages tourists to explore space in a subjective way, to search for impressions in the resi- dents' everyday places of stay. This opportunity to explore London in the immediate vicinity of Londoners who like to re- lax in parks is created by a hike along the Diana route, the Princess of Wales Memorial Walk. The tourist space is seamlessly combined with the daily rest of local people. The author has set a goal to make a subjective assessment of the use of Diana Walk to learn about London with young children up to 10 years old. Inspecting the recreation infrastructure, she assessed it in terms of the specific needs of children in pre-school and school age up to the age of 10.

  • 1 What Did It Mean? 1954
    WHAT DID IT MEAN? 1954 7. Great Jumping Jehoshophat : favourite expression of Jo March in Little Women . Jehoshophat was King of Judah from 872 BC. No mention in the Bible of him jumping. doesn’t know B from a bull’s foot : an expression meaning to be ignorant or illiterate – possibly because the letter B looks a bit like a bull’s foot. Kamerad : = Comrade. Used by the Germans in World War I. Equivalent in English is “I surrender”. Often used in the novels though I think its use had largely died out by WWII. Assist in the French sense : again, often used by AT. “Assister” in French = “to be present at”. Audit Ale : An audit ale is a special brew originally served at English colleges when examination results were announced following oral examinations (and also by landlords when rents were due), in order to soften the occasional hard feelings that such occasions fostered The English might merit a plaudit For inventing the ale they call audit . This beer was ingested When students were tested; Both winners and losers would laud it. (Tim Alborn, OEDILF, The Omnificent English Dictionary In Limerick www.oedilf.com .) 8. Washington’s, Corbett’s, Holman’s : George Washington, Holman Hunt, perhaps, but why? What connects them to fertiliser? Gampish : Mrs Gamp in Dickens’s Martin Chuzzlewit was a midwife, given to making such calculations. 9. Parish Councils lay down with Town Councils : Isaiah 11.6. .. nor were the Mothers’ Unions unheard: I think this is just Biblical phraseology rather than an actual allusion. Mystery play : Mediaeval plays performed by members of a guild or mystery on a sacred theme.

  • U.S. Archives of
    U.S. Archives of . Updated December 13, 2018 Dick Baker, USA Archivist Quality Legend A – excellent B – good C – acceptable D – poor I – incomplete—music edited out Version Notes Beginning with the Fifth Series in 1954, Goon Show studio sessions were recorded simultaneously by the Light Programme and Transcription Service departments. At LP the show’s producer edited the recording for airplay a few days later (this version is abbreviated Orig here, so as not to be confused with commercial LP disc releases). At TS, a staff producer edited the recording for overseas use (TSO here, but the O is for original), shortening the shows up to two minutes (generally excising topical comments that might confuse and wog jokes that might offend). Then, in the 1960s, TS mounted an extensive reissue series (TSR here) called “Pick of the Goons” for overseas radio stations. This is the series that has been played on many NPR stations in the U.S., although confusion was caused when TS sent 20 shows from the TSO series to NPR labeled “Pick of the Goons” using numbers that would later be reused for their TS Reissue series. The TSR shows evidently were reedits of the original recordings, since in many cases lines are present that had been cut from the original TS release. In general, though, TS again was on the lookout for topical comments and wog jokes. In recent years, demon audio engineer Ted Kendall has done near-perfect restorations of many shows, pulling together all extant sources to produce recordings that are sometimes even more complete than the original UK broadcast.
