Upper Derwent Valley Woodlands Audience Development and Access Plan for the Upper Derwent Valley APPENDICES TellTale 83 Corbar Road, Buxton, Derbyshire, SK17 6RJ Tel: 01298 70376 Fax: 0870 7066012 e-mail: [email protected] PDNP FAIRHOLMES SURVEY: SAMPLE OF RESULTS APPENDIX 1 FAIRHOLMES VISITOR SURVEY 2005: SAMPLE OF RESULTS The PDNP survey This survey was carried out by the PDNP research team in August 2005 on a Saturday, a Sunday and a school-holiday weekday. Further three-day surveys were also being carried out in autumn/winter 2005-06, but the returns for these were not available at the time of writing this Audience Development Plan. Groups of visitors were randomly selected and asked ten questions in face-to- face interviews. Respondents were also given post-back questionnaires to fill in at home, containing a further 28 questions. The face-to-face questions all related to audience profile, while the post-back questions included some profile questions but also explored various aspects of the visitor experience. Altogether, 350 groups of visitors were interviewed. About half these respondents also returned post-back questionnaires. The Audience Development Plan sample At the time of writing this Audience Development Plan, the data from the PDNP survey had not been processed or analysed, but we were given access to the filled-in survey forms. We processed a sample of 100 face-to-face interviews with matched post-back questionnaires (35 Saturday visitors, 35 Sunday, 30 weekday) and 50 face-to-face interviews with respondents who did not return post-back questionnaires (15 Saturday visitors, 20 Sunday, 15 weekday). The 100 visitor groups who returned post-back questionnaires represented 312 individuals, while the 50 groups who did not return post-backs represented 181 individuals. Our analysis covered all the questions in the face-to-face interviews, but (for reasons of time available) only ten of the 28 questions on the post-back form. We concentrated on selected issues, namely audience profile data, activities undertaken, sources of information or guidance used, enjoyment factors and problems/barriers encountered. Section A below gives results for the 150 face-to-face interviews. Section B gives results for the 100 post-back questionnaires.

As ethnic minority numbers in this survey are so small, we have grouped them as “Visible Communities” (following Kye Askins in Visible communities’ use & perceptions of NYM and PD National Parks). The Census categories cover ethnicity not nationality, so they do not allow us to distinguish between e.g. a British Indian family and a family visiting from India. However, all but one of the 100 post-back respondents in our sample gave a UK home postcode (one was left blank), so we must assume that most respondents are resident, at least temporarily, in the UK.

Long-term exposure to air pollution has been shown to reduce life expectancy, due to its impact on cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and lung cancer. Many everyday activities such as transport, industrial processes, farming, energy generation and domestic heating can have a detrimental effect on air quality. The annual status report is fundamental to ensuring the monitoring of trends and identification of areas of local air pollution exposure. The cumulative effect of a range of interventions has the greatest potential to reduce local air pollution and improve population health, as such the annual status report and associated action plans provide an opportunity to engage a range of partners.

  • The Edale Circular Walk a Cloudy Day in the Peak District Is Better Than a Sunny Day in the Office
    The Edale circular walk A cloudy day in the Peak District is better than a sunny day in the office. The Edale circular walk is a great walk and takes you via: Edale, the start of the Pennine Way, Upperbooth, Jacob’s ladder, Browne Knoll trig point, Rushop edge, Mam Tor, Hollins Cross and then back to Edale. Plan your day for this Edale Circular hike: Start/Parking: I always start at Edale car park. Grid ref 125854 (OS Explorer SL1). Enter S33 7ZA into your Sat Nav. As you reach Hope you should turn onto Edale road, after a few miles you’ll find the car park on the right just before you turn right into Edale village. The last time I visited (Nov 2013) the parking costs were £3.00 for 2 – 4 hours and £5 for over 4 hours - don't forget your £1 coins. Walk summary: I started the walk at 9.30am and got back to the car park at 2pm (4 ½ hours). I stopped a couple of times for a cuppa and a little lunch at Hollins Cross. The walk starts at 231m and the highest point is around 569m. There are a number of stys, rough tracks, steep hill climbs and steep descents - you have to be fit to attempt this walk. Guided walks: We have guides available for this edale circular walk to escort you on your walk. Our guides are very friendly, experienced hill walkers. They are also highly qualified first aiders. Obviously there is a charge for their time; the more there are of you the cheaper it will be.

For the moorland lover based on Man­ chester, the only part of the Pennine worth serious consideration begins at a point 6 miles SSW of Skipton on the crest of the Colne-Keighley road, or, as easier of access, at Colne itself, and after a crow's flight of 37 miles roughly SSE ends at the foot of the steep slopes of Kinder Scout a mile N of Edale. We can also include the moors which towards the end of that range extend E and SE to nurse the infant Derwent as far as Ladybower on the main road from Glossop to Sheffield. For about the first 28 miles of that Colne to Edale flight the moors are of the conventional type. Their surface consists mainly of coarse grass with bil­ berry and heather in various states of roughness, culminating in the robust tussocks known as Scotchmen's heads, or (more politely) Turks' heads, which when spaced apart at a critical distance slightly less than a boot's width, thereby tending to twist the boot when inserted between them, constitute the worst going in the Kingdom apart from the rock-and-heather mixture of the Rhinogs of North Wales.
