Afternoon Walks Dartmoor Walking Festival 2018 Welcome to the programme of the 2018 Dartmoor Walking Festival! The first ever Dartmoor Walking Festival in 2016 was a great success and the very positive feedback really supported the idea of it becoming an annual event which is absolutely fabulous. Therefore Moorland Guides again ran it in 2017 during the same week and once again the public voted with their feet – literally – and it seems that the festival is here to stay! The 2018 event will be held from Saturday 25th September until Sunday 2nd September inclusive which means that this will be the last bank holiday week of the summer. This year we are teaming-up with the Dartmoor-365 Facebook group who have over 7,000 followers and so attract many more potential walkers. All of the events will be labelled according to the grid in the Dartmoor 365 book by John Hayward which is enjoying a resurgence of popularity. Check the festival website for exact details of the 365 coordinates visited. In 2017 the festival raised over £500 for the Donate to Dartmoor fund as well as the Dartmoor Search Dogs and this coming year we will be linking up with the Devon Air Ambulance with a series of varied sponsored walks on the last day of the festival. We will be putting on several events each day during the nine-day festival ranging from modest guided strolls and children’s rambles to full day walks and ambitious challenges! There really will be something for everyone including ‘accessible’ events for the less mobile in partnership with the ‘Disabled Ramblers’ Association. Simon Dell MBE Director of Moorland Guides Email [email protected] Dartmoor Walking Festival 2018 Thank you to all our advertisers who have supported us this year in producing this programme. Please keep a close watch during the week on our Festival website at www.dartmoorwalkingfestival.co.uk where we are quickly able to update events if last-minute changes are necessary. More comprehensive details and descriptions of each walk can also be found on the website. Some events are dog-friendly but not all, so do please take care to ensure you read the details of each event carefully. Likewise some guides need you to book in advance for their events and this is clearly stated in the programme. Each event has the details of the leader and contact details in case of any questions you may have. It is important that you come properly dressed for the conditions and prevailing weather. Guides have the right to decline taking anyone on an event if they feel that welfare or safety is compromised for any reason. For the purposes of costs for walks – where a fee is charged, children are under 16 years of age. Some of the car parks within the National Park charge a fee so come with a few pound coins just in case.

  • Notes on Mining Leats” British Mining No.37, NMRS, Pp.19-45
    BRITISH MINING No.37 BRITISH MINING No.37 MEMOIRS 1988 Bird, R.H. 1988 “Notes on Mining Leats” British Mining No.37, NMRS, pp.19-45 Published by the THE NORTHERN MINE RESEARCH SOCIETY SHEFFIELD U.K. © N.M.R.S. & The Author(s) 1988. ISSN 0309-2199 NOTES ON MINING LEATS R.H. Bird “.... the means of putting to work many mines that would otherwise remain unworked, or if worked, could not be worked with profitable results.” Absalom Francis. 1874. SYNOPSIS Watercourses supplying mining works have been in use for centuries but their complexity increased during the 19th century, particularly in mining districts which were remote from coal supplies used for steam engines but which had sufficient river systems (or streams) of a dependable nature. Their role in Britain’s mining areas is discussed, with examples from overseas locations. An attempt is made to outline their construction methods and costs. In an age when water power reigned supreme and, indeed, for some time thereafter, mills and manufacturing industries were dependant on a steady supply of water to drive that prime mover, the water wheel. Flour mills, fulling mills and the early ferrous metal industries were sited next to reliable river or stream courses and could thus utilise this water source with little difficulty. Sometimes, the configuration of the stream was inconveniently placed for the mill site and the miller was forced to construct a ditch, from a dam upstream of his mill, and by this, lead the water to his wheel. After driving the wheel, the water was returned to the stream directly or through another ditch, the tailrace.

  • Summer 2019 Walks Programme with Adverts ROBOROUGH
    Summer 2019 Walks Programme Message From The Chair am proud to be taking over the helm of our very successful Ramblers Group and as the days start to get longer, the I birds start singing and the spring flowers begin to rear their heads, the final confirmation that summer is approaching is the appearance of the Tavistock Ramblers Summer Walks Programme. Preparing the programme is akin to drawing up a menu. Retaining a few proven favourites but trying a selection of new “dishes” with Paul being Head Chef. So it is with our latest programme. We always like to thank our leaders who submit walk suggestions but this time they seem to have excelled even their high standards. As a result, we have been able to put on more walks than usual; more Wednesday and Thursday walks, linear walks, walks as part of Dartmoor Walking Festival and a repeat of the popular Lych Way walk. The “menu” guarantees there is something for everyone. The good news is that even if you overindulge, it will be good for you! Even the strongest walkers have to stop and rest sometimes which is where the social programme comes in, so make sure you look at what is planned over the coming months and come along. Many of the walks have a particular social slant as well, so there is always an opportunity to share extra time and laughter with each other. Whether you are a regular or occasional walker, a new or older member, you are all very welcome in our Tavistock Ramblers family and we all look forward to spending time with you.

  • Tavistock Ramblers
    Tavistock Ramblers Summer 2020 Advert Cotswold Outdoor Summer 2020 Walks Programme Reflections From The Chair ne way of remembering which way to move the hour hand when the clocks Ochange is to say “Spring Forward, Fall Back”. Well spring is upon us, and despite the gloomy weather we have had of late, we hope this programme will inspire you to spring forward with the optimism of more spring-like weather. It has been established that walking can increase muscle tone, boost metabolism, ease stress, raise energy levels, improve sleep and could help with weight loss. That is provided a good day out walking doesn't give you too good an appetite. Calories you may have lost through going up hill, down dale, negotiating mud, jumping streams, clambering stiles etc (all part of a Tavi Rambler’s day out) have often been promptly re-established by the not uncommon cream tea or gooey cake afterwards. That, too, has its positive points (not necessarily the calorie intake) in that it is where the social side of walking with a group kicks in: friendships are formed, relationships even, some who have arrived with problems have derived support through friendship and consistency. This tends to be a further by-product of walking, indeed it is often the case with a lot of shared interest groups, particularly so in walking’s case where the group could well have puffed up hill, slithered down through mud, braved whatever the weather throws at us (character building I admit, but not untypical). So with this spring programme, spring into life, put a spring in your heels and get out there.

  • Ramblers Programme
    Tavistock Summer Walks ~ August 2021 01/08/2021 to 31/08/2021 Part of Devon area Covid-19 We have introduced the Rambler Group guidelines to ensure safe walking (full details can be found on the website). Walk Leaders have the discretion to limit numbers on their walk based on the nature of the walk, available car- parking etc. To assist them in governing numbers, and to facilitate the maintenance of the Attendance Register, please ensure you advise the Walk Leader of your desire to join a walk at least 24 hours before the walk takes place. The contact details you provide will be kept for 21 days to support NHS contact tracing. If you are feeling at all unwell on the day of the walk please do not attend, but do let the Leader know you will be absent. In addition to the usual suitable clothing and footwear, you may wish to bring your own hand sanitiser, face covering and basic first aid kit. The latest government road map changes do allow car-sharing - subject to a maximum of 6 people and 2 households per car. We encourage people to organise car-shares where possible in line with the relevant guidelines.

THE CLASSIFICATION AND INTERPRETATION OF TIN SMELTING REMAINS FROM SOUTH WEST ENGLAND A study of the microstructure and chemical composition of tin smelting slags from Devon and Cornwall, and the effect of technological developments upon the character of slags. Volume I of II Albertine MALHAM BSc (Hons), MPhil submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Archaeological Sciences University of Bradford 2010 Albertine MALHAM THE CLASSIFICATION AND INTERPRETATION OF TIN SMELTING REMAINS FROM SOUTH-WEST ENGLAND KEYWORDS: Tin Smelting Blowing house Slag Furnace Devon Cornwall Medieval Post-medieval Artefacts relating to tin smelting from tin mills or ‘blowing houses’ in Devon and Cornwall, plus material from smelting sites that cover a range of dates from the Bronze Age through to the 19th Century, were examined: these include metallic tin, furnace linings, ore samples and slag. Analysis of tin slags from over forty sites was carried out, to determine microstructure and chemical composition. Techniques employed included optical and scanning electron microscopy, X-ray fluorescence and ICP mass spectrometry. Analysis indicates that slag appearance and composition are heavily influenced by local geology. Composition, particularly iron content, is shown to have a strong effect on slag melting point and viscosity, and the implications for the purity of metal produced are discussed. Bringing together the evidence provided by slag chemistry, documentary sources and smelting remains in the archaeological record, changes in tin smelting technology through time, and the consequences thereof, are considered.

ABSTRACT This thesis evaluates the utility of a geochemical technique for the investigation of paiaeoenvironmental change in south west England. The method, EDMA (Energy Dispersive X-ray Micro Analysis), is a rapid, non-destructive analysis tool, capable of detecting a large range of geochemical elements. This research examines the most appropriate method of sample preparation for organic soils and peats, and investigates the reliability of results gained from EDMA with respect to conventional bulk geochemical techniques. A detailed study focused on a range of different sedimentary sites in south west England where a variety of palaeoenvironmental changes were thought to occur.
