Horse Around 29 Free to Members No. 29 Winter 2010/11 Straight from the horse’s mouth In This Issue Hello Everyone The Kernow Trailblazers A thousand apologies to you all, particularly those of you waiting for the new horse hike programme, for not sending out a newsletter until Horse Hike Reports now. A combination of having some all important time out from Bridleway Dedication Nancledra bridleway work, taking a bit of holiday away, family commitments and Carnyorth Common Update difficulties of an ageing Mum has taken their toll on our time. We Devon Trails hope you all had a good Summer. Although an age ago, I will hoof off with commenting that we had an and much more … excellent attendance at the AGM where we had an interesting presentation by Lindsay Setchell of Hoofing Marvellous on Barefoot riding. Although going barefoot is not for everyone she gave an insight into the possibilities and the appropriateness of youngstock starting out and continuing with barefoot. She also covered nutrition and passed around lots of little packages of various types of horse feeds from herbages to grains. Anyone who has an idea for a speaker for the next AGM or knows of someone who would like to come and give us a talk – horse related of course – please let me know. The Madron horse hike took place on a truly gloriously sunny and windless day in April. Anne took us on a lovely easy ride. The St Just charity horseride in aid of The Mermaid Centre also enjoyed equally good weather in May. The theme was continued in a big way with “The Kernow Trailblazers”who completed an epic ride of the Kernow Horse Trail from the Devon border to Lands End in June. Read about their intrepid journey. A ride on the Great Flat Lode took place on one of the hottest days of the year and a lovely picture in The Cornishman ensued and repeated in this Horse Around. More recently, Sue Knapman and crew from Trescrowan livery yard put together another “Ride 4 Life”charity ride raising over £1,000 for breast cancer campaign. Last September a total of £1,177.75 was raised – we will get the official figure for this September later on. Well done to everyone involved in making this event a success. We certainly enjoyed the 8 mile ride. Be Seen Be Safe The new austerity that will engulf us could mean that 30% of Cornwall Dawn, Lesley and Mike from St Ives Council’s budget is being cut. We just hope that Cornwall’s unique (Wearing Hi-Viz “buys”you the length of an arena in environment and access to it is recognised as being very important extra stopping distance for a car at 30 mph) for bringing in money to the county. We also hope that PAROW fits in with the government’s ‘Big Society’agenda – of volunteer organisations playing a key role in providing services – in our case clearing and improving our riding network. More on our sister Christmas Get Together organisation later. I hope you all enjoy this edition of Horse Around and find it Engine Inn informative. Written contributions and information is always welcome. See you out on a horse hike soon.

Horse Falls Asleep on top of Vet Liz Harris and myself parked up outside Mullion school with Straff and Gem in the horse box. Nice drive-in, drive-out parking, we like this , said Liz. A vet was rescued in Devon after becoming trapped under a sedated horse. The Crediton By 11am Adrian, Margaret, Alison and Val had arrived and we were all mounted and vet was called to a farm after the horse had ready to go. Alison led us away from the windmills which were quite a sight, and we become stuck in the fence. Devon and went along some weaving tracks with varying surfaces heading towards the coast. The Somerset fire Service was called out and found horse-flies were out in force unfortunately and the horses were getting a bit touchy. We a heavily sedated horse had fallen asleep on had ridden a good couple of miles before we actually felt the sea breeze over the cliffs , top of the vet trapping her. Fire fighters freed which all horses and riders welcomed. The tracks were in good condition on the whole the women from underneath the horse and but most had difficult gates into them. We all took turns to open and close them but they released the animal from the fence. The vet were a real challenge.

That makes 229 resident • Open stony, sparsely-vegetated areas on free-draining soils presumably maintained either by exposure breeding species, of which about 63% (147) are RDB (8), Nationally Scarce (46) or rare in the county (93). or grazing: Ophonus puncticollis – see extinct species above Where a species has been accorded “Nationally Scarce” or “British Red Data Book” status this is shown • On dry sandy soils, usually on coast, presumably maintained by exposure or grazing: immediately following the scientific name.

  • Could Helston Have Historically Been a Port Settlement?
    CAMBORNE SCHOOL OF MINES Could Helston have historically been a port settlement? : An analysis of available evidence and LiDAR remote sensing data cross referenced with a survey of the lower Cober/Loe valley Peter Nicholls 05/09/2013 Submitted by Peter Nicholls to the University of Exeter – Camborne School of Mines as a dissertation towards the degree of Master of Science by advanced study in Surveying, Land Environmental Management, September 2013 I certify that all material in this dissertation which is not my own work has been identified and that no material is included for which a degree has previously been conferred on me. Abstract The aim of this dissertation was to investigate the factual basis of the commonly held belief that Helston was historically a port town with access to the sea. This aim was successfully achieved through rigorous primary data collection cross referenced with available remote sensing information, as well as interpretation of large amounts of secondary evidence. Secondary evidence involved consulting with private contractors who had undertaken work within the area of interest, as well as publically available historical and geological information. Primary data collection was undertaken in the summer of 2013 using topographical surveying apparatus, including both optical and GNSS equipment made available through Camborne School of Mines. Remote sensing LiDAR (5m resolution, carried out in 2006) data was sourced from the Landmap Service, a JISC (Joint Information Systems Committee) funded project between Mimas (centre of excellence based at Manchester University) and the University College London Dept. of Geomatic Engineering. Results show that the LiDAR elevation data for the area matches that of independent primary data gathered, and as such can be deemed reliable and analysed further.
