  • Boroughbridge Striders Walking Group Summary Schedule of Walks for 2019 (See Below for Details of Walks) June 1 – Rural Round
    Boroughbridge Striders Walking Group Summary Schedule of Walks for 2019 (See below for details of walks) June 1 – Rural Round Walk July 6 – Ripon Round Walk August 17 – South Ripon Rowel 16 Walk September 21 – River Round Walk (2) October 26 – Round of Copgrove Winter 2019/20 - a possible walk for a Saturday during the winter months is the Easingwold/Crayke 13 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Boroughbridge Striders Who are Boroughbridge Striders? Boroughbridge Striders is a new (May 2019), experimental, informal walking group that focuses on walks in the 12-20 miles range, mainly in the local area When/how did it start? It was by started by John Helliwell shortly after the Boroughbridge Easter Walking Festival of 2019. 8 people, having completed the 17 mile “River Round” walk in just over 6 hours indicated that similar walks might be attractive and desirable in the future, based on a perceived interest in “longer walks”. What are the features of Boroughbridge Striders, apart from the length of the walks? • It’s for fit, experienced, adult walkers, not for beginners or children • The pace might be described as “brisk”; there are few, if any, stops, apart from a brief break for lunch (packed) • Pubs and café stops are not on the menu; neither are talks en route connected with points of human and geographical interest and local history • As far as possible, the walks take place in the Boroughbridge/Lower Ure Valley area with minimal dependence on motor vehicles and the need travel by car to distant start points. We start and finish at the same point Is there an underlying philosophy? Not really; but maintaining personal fitness through walking is at the heart of what Boroughbridge Striders is about.

Further work of compilation, analysis, comparison and contrast with other areas is needed to supplement this narra­ tive and to interpret the material in a wider context. This interim cameo can serve as a contribution to the larger picture. QUAKERS IN THIRSK MONTHLY MEETING 1650-75 The present study investigates the area around Thirsk in Yorkshire and finds evidence that gives a slightly different emphasis from that of Davies. Membership of the local community is apparent, but, because the evidence comes from the account of the sufferings of Friends following their persecution John Woods for holding meetings for worship in their own homes, when forbidden to meet in towns, it shows that the sustained attempt in this area during the decade to prevent worship outside the Established Church did not prevent the Malton,North Yorkshire,England 1660-70 holding of Quaker Meetings for worship in the area.

  • Yorkshire & the Humber
    Yorkshire & The Humber Woodfuel Directory 2011 www.forestry.gov.uk/yhwoodfuel Atmospheric carbon dioxide, water and sunlight Woodfuel CO2 Lean Fuel Carbon released back into the atmosphere Converted into new plant material through photosynthesis Which is harvested and burnt 2 Yorkshire & The Humber Woodfuel Directory 2011 www.forestry.gov.uk/yhwoodfuel Introduction Yorkshire and The Humber is a diverse and varied “region with a long history of power generation and solid fuel installations, previously based on the region’s coal resource. This, when combined with the potential to secure a signifi cant increase in biomass from the region’s under-managed woodlands, gives us a unique opportunity to help continue our move to a low U Rudie Humphrey carbon economy through the use of renewable energy. The development of the Woodfuel Strategy (launched in 2005) was seen as a key step in taking forwards the opportunities that woodfuel across the region presents. This fi rst regional directory is a manifestation of this. Its aim is to reinforce the links in the woodfuel supply chain in order to ensure consistent and effective delivery on the ground. The priorities are drawn from the already agreed regional ‘Vision for Biomass’ – connecting suppliers with producers was one of its key objectives. The Forestry Commission now seeks to build on the work of the South Yorkshire Woodfuel cluster and the supply chain development programme; the Wood Energy Co-ordinator recruitment in the White Rose Forest; and Yorkshire Woodfuels co-ordinated by Yorwoods. We are grateful to all of these partners and the Biomass Energy Centre who have proved vital in the development of this directory.
