  • Baker Way Route Download 398179064.Pdf
    Baker Way The extended Baker Way links the heart of Chester with Delamere Forest Park. Grade Long Distance Distance 21km/13miles Time 5-6 hours Start Chester Railway Station Map OS Explorer 266 & 267 Generally flat with a few short rises, notably in Delamere Terrain Forest Route Details The extended Baker Way links the heart of Chester with Delamere Forest Park. The core of the route is provided by the original Baker Way - a long established route from Christleton to Brines Brow Picnic Area. The original route was devised by members of the Mid Cheshire Footpaths Society and commemorates the life and work of Jack Baker, onetime footpaths officer for Cheshire County Council. The extended Baker Way provides links to bus and train services at both ends, allowing the route to be walked in either direction without the use of a car. Black Lake is one of the flooded hollows within Delamere Forest, believed to have been formed as the ice sheets wasted away at the end of the last Ice Age. Their original depth was often several metres but accumulation of sphagnum and leaf litter has led to them gradually becoming mosses rather than open water. They continue to provide important habitats for a wide range of wildlife - look out for dragonflies, sundew and cotton grass. The Forestry commission bought 137 hectares of farmland at the Old Pale in 2000. Originally cleared of trees, it is now being returned to woodland with planting of a mix of 170,000 conifers and native broadleaved trees. New footpaths and bridleways have been developed across the area allowing visitors to enjoy the extensive views over Cheshire and beyond which are available from Pale Heights.

  • 90% CO2 Cuts by 2030!
    Winter 2006 90% CO2 Cuts by 2030! Climate-Crisis, a small independent Scottish research and campaigning group, have produced a report “The Cutting Edge: Climate science to April 05”. Using information from the Met Office’s Hadley Centre, temperatures will rise 2C over pre-industrial levels by 2030 under business as usual, while carbon sinks will diminish in capacity. They expect the temperature rise will decrease Nature’s current ability to absorb man-made carbon emissions, from 4 Giga Tonnes per year to 2.7 GT, or 1/3 of a tonne per person per year. Emissions in the UK currently stand at 3 tonnes Carbon pppy. (that’s 11 tonnes CO2) See www.climate-crisis.net >downloads > ‘Cutting Edge; Climate Science To April 05’ There’s a group running a local carbon rationing scheme in the West Midlands (there are many exponents for a national scheme). Such schemes provide a framework of progressively reducing carbon rations for members to adapt to. See http://forum.campaigncc.org/?q=node/550 Eco-Building Special Norton Priory Building in Straw Work has now begun on the Priory’s Eco classroom, funded by WREN. The foundations and floor of the Green Room are now in place and the strawbale walls are in progress. Volunteers are needed to help with certain stages of the process, so if you are interested, contact the Priory’s Volunteer Development Officer, Sarah Harris on 01928 569 895. See www.nortonpriory.org > Eco Building to watch their progress. An example of this technique, used for a home, was featured on Channel 4’s Grand Designs programme, and the Ecology Building Society recently involved its members in the construction of a meeting room for its West Yorkshire office.

  • Cheshire Plain West
    LCT 9: Cheshire Plain West General Description This character type dominates a large proportion of CWaC, and as such it has been broken down into four character areas which reflect the subtle variations that exist in the landscape. It extends from Stanlow and Helsby in the north, as far south as Threapwood at the south-westerly tip of the borough. It bounds the northern and eastern fringes of the City of Chester and is framed by the Sandstone Fringe to the east. Its northern portion, from around Beeston, is bisected along a south- east to north-west line by the linear Gowy Valley LCA. This landscape type is defined by its flat or very gentle topography enclosed by hedgerows and standard trees in small-medium enclosures that follow an irregular and semi-regular field pattern. It is differentiated from the Cheshire Plain East by the physical barrier of the Sandstone Ridge. However, in many respects there are shared characteristics and features between the Cheshire Plain East and Cheshire Plain West landscape character types. Woodland cover is very low, with small blocks scattered intermittently across the area. The field patterns comprise a mix of ancient enclosure and post medieval improvement. Settlement is predominantly dispersed and has a low density. Visual Character This landscape type is represented by a generally flat agricultural plain where the prevailing field pattern and condition of the hedgerows can account for subtle differences in landscape character. Where fields are smaller, hedges higher and hedgerow trees more abundant, the sense of enclosure is much stronger. Long distance views are blocked or filtered, creating a perception of a smaller scale and much more verdant landscape.
