Ladle & J.S. Welton Project leader: M. Ladle Report date: August 1992 Report to: North Dorset DistrictCouncil IFE report ref: RL/T11053c5/4 TFS project no: T11053c5 This is an unpublishedreport and shouldnot be cited withoutpermission, which should be soughtthroughthe Directorof the Instituteof FreshwaterEcology in the first instance. The Institute of Freshwater Ecology is part of the Terrestrial and Freshwater Sciences Directorateof the Natural EnvironmentResearchCouncil. CONCLUSIONS In 1992 (as in 1989 and 1991) TEKNAR HP-D (Bti) was found to be an effective simuliicide when used against the larvae of Simuliwn posticatum under the conditions prevailing in the River Stour. Laboratory tests using larvae of Sitnulium posticaturn showed that the approved concentration (0.8 ppm for ten minutes) of Bri (used in the preceding year's trials) was still effective but that a lesser concentration (0.4 ppm for ten minutes) substantially reduced mortality (77%) showing that the permitted dose is approaching the lowest effective concentration. Following preliminary surveys, six sites on the main river were selected for treatment and the furthest upstream (Blandford) and the penultimate downstream (Wimborne) of these were used for monitoring the effects of treatment. Current meter measurements were used to calculate discharges and to permit suitable dilutions of Bti to be achieved.

The event is known to be one of the toughest on the triathlon calendar and conditions this year were described as being “hostile”. Competitors are required to swim 1.2 miles in a lake, cycle 56 miles along a ridiculously hilly course and finish off with a 13.1 mile run, again up and down hill. In all the competitors have to climb more than 3,000 metres, almost 10,000 feet, a bit like climbing Snowdon from sea level three times over. He told the Reporter that he felt his time of almost seven and a half hours was slow this year compared to the last two years and at times only managed to keep going because of the massive support of his sponsors. Joseph Weld Hospice, Julia’s House and Leukaemia Research will all benefit from Doctor Longley’s determination and his sponsors’ generosity.
