HINTS for WALKING Dress Appropriately for the Weather. Wear Suitable Supportive Footwear HINTS FOR WALKING Dress appropriately for the weather. Wear suitable supportive footwear. Walk to increase breathing but not to exhaust. Drink plenty of water. Remember to bring any necessary medication e.g. inhaler. Summer Walks, Jul-Sept 2014 Tell a walk leader if you are leaving a walk. The recent mild and wet winter has produced a large increase in the “Deer Tick” population. Whilst only a small proportion of Ticks carry Lyme disease, it is a real risk. They are easiest to pick up in long grass, so please try and wear long trousers whenever possible dur- ing our summer walks. If you do get one, DO NOT try treatments such as burning or butter, but use a pair of tweezers as close as possible to where they are attached to you and pull directly away. Treat with anti-bacterial ointment. If symptoms similar to a cold develop soon afterwards, see your doctor and tell them about the bite.

  • Contaminated Land Is Affecting Controlled Waters and Their Quality, and Where the Environment Agency Will Also Have Other Concerns Under Other Legislation
    APPENDIX 1 Geology and Mineral Resources South Gloucestershire extends from the Severn Estuary in the East to the Cotswolds to the west. Geologically the area is very varied, having representations of nearly every Geological System exposed at the surface, the exceptions being the Ordovician and Cretaceous. Generally the older Palaeozoic rocks are exposed in the centre of South Gloucestershire, with younger Mesozoic rocks to the east and north- east. More recent estuarine alluvial deposits cover the Lowlands adjacent to the Severn Estuary in the west. In landscape terms much of South Gloucestershire is anomalous in that the outcrops of older and harder Palaeozoic rocks do not form uplands but are characterised by low undulating terrain. This is because much of the area formed part of an ancient erosion surface which was reduced to a low relief before the deposition of the Mesozoic strata. It is therefore the younger rocks, most notably limestones of Jurassic age, which form the highest land of South Gloucestershire, that being the Cotswold escarpment to the east. - 88 - Figure 3 - Simplified Geology of South Gloucestershire showing sites of mineral extraction - 89 - The alluvial flatlands adjacent to the Severn Estuary are extensive and form a distinctly contrasting landscape to that of the central and eastern parts of South Gloucestershire. Flat pastures predominate, bounded by drainage ditches, known locally as ‘rhines’. Rarely does the land in this area rise above 6 metres AOD. Nearly all the rivers west of the Cotswold scarp flow into the Severn Estuary, whereas those which follow the dip slope to the east, other than the Bristol Avon which detours to the west, join the River Thames.

The area anti-social and threatening behaviour, pollution and was subject to a temporary mooring trial between Mead Lane is popular with boaters December 2016 and October 2018, and on behalf of B&NES Council, independent consultants are now gathering views on options for the future. Saltford Parish Council and Saltford Environment Group are highlighting ongoing concerns and, supported by Mead Lane residents, are asking B&NES Council to turn the area into a Local Nature Reserve. The parish council says the trial has exacerbated the problems of non-compliance with mooring limits, anti- social behaviour and heavy littering from a minority of boaters, as well as the disruption caused to residents, visitors and other river users, and damage to the flora and fauna of the riverbank. It says a mooring ban should be implemented without delay, starting with, on health and safety grounds, an immediate winter mooring ban.
