MOUNTMOUNT && WARLEGGANWARLEGGAN LIFELIFE September 2013 Number 78 Non-Parishioners .30p My open water swimming experience. By Juliet Wells Week 1 Training On Saturday of the first week I started doing open water swimming training, we went to Bude Seapool. In ASA open water races, wetsuits are forbidden, but it was very hot so I didn’t mind. There were people jump- ing in all over the place and I had to keep my eyes peeled to make sure I didn't get landed on. Week 2 Training On the second visit it was absolutely freezing and there was one other person in the water, with full wetsuit on, Brrrrrr! We all got out after not very long and our legs went purple with red splotches but thankfully we had some hot chocolate in the car which was deeeeelicious. Week 3 Training Third time lucky right? Wrong. It was very cold again, so Mum had to take desperate measures. She resorted to bribery, so I would definitely swim. It was 50p per length with a minimum of 6 90M lengths. But even better was that Liam Tancock a five-time Commonwealth Games gold medallist, double world champion and world record holder in 50m back- stroke had tweeted me wishing me good luck in my open water champion- ships. So I decided I would do as much as I could and I did 6 lengths and was very pleased with myself. Week 4 Training Week four, the weekend before the championships. It was 50p per lengthagain, minimum 10 lengths. I ended up swimming just over 19 lengths, which was almost 2km. I was getting very nervous. Week 5: Race Weekend The day before my race we went to Dozmary Pool for a muck around. It was surprisingly warm and extremely shallow. And the only living crea- tures around (except me, Mum and Dad.) were some cows. I decided to go home and get some much needed sleep. RACE DAY It was the day of my race. We drove to Stithians Lake. We had lunch and then I registered and was given my race hat, which was orange with a big Continued over ... ...Continued number 12 on it. The boys were in green hats. We were then called over and I had the number 12 written on my shoulder blades, hands and the top of my arms. We also had our fingernails checked. Then there was the course briefing and we were told where we had to swim and that we had 15 minutes until the start of the race so I changed into my racing suit and put my hats and goggles on. We then had a ten minute warning, a 5 minute warning and then every minute from then. We were lined up in the wa- ter. I splashed water on my shoulders and face. The starter went and everyone swam off. The water wasn't too cold and I stayed in one group the whole time. It went surprisingly quickly. I misjudged my finish though so I had to quickly touch the white bar at the finish. I got out of the water and went straight over to mum where I had a very long drink. I was very pleased with myself. Then there was the presentation. I heard someone say “In the Juliet with medal—a girls 13 and under age group first place goes proud moment to..........Juliet Wells.” I was so surprised.. I went up to collect my medal and certificate and shook the hand of the presenter. I had a massive smile across my face. Then it was time to go home. We were listening to the radio when Andy Murray won Wimbledon. It was the perfect end to the perfect day. I thought this deserved the front page—what a fantastic achievement Juliet, very well done and congratulations from us all— 1500 metres in 26mins 54secs—it somehow brings into perspective the half-mile a week at the Dragon Centre which Jasmina and I manage.

KNOWING OUR BOUNDARIES Rosy Hanns has immersed herself in a massive endeavour to plot and record the numerous boundary stones in Cornwall. No doubt many of us have stumbled across (or even over) these mysterious objects while out and about and have wondered what the letters carved on them once signified. Though not the most impressive of features, they may indicate estate ownership or parish or other boundaries, and therefore help to tell the story of local land-use, social structures and power at the time of their placement. Rosy has sent in photographs of stones she has discovered around Treslea Downs in Cardinham and Warleggan parishes. The map below shows various stones plotted in 1881; now Rosy is recording these in order to inform Cornwall Council’s Historic Environment record (which can be found at https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/community-and-living/mapping/). 2 Treslea Downs from the 1881 Ordnance Survey Six- inch to the mile map XXVII.SW. Reproduced with the permission of the National Library of Scotland https://maps.nls.uk/copyright.html Spotting these stones on old maps is one thing; actually finding them on the ground is something else, as Rosy has found.

Be there or you will miss out on a fun-filled day!! BIG DO STARTS AT MIDDAY In 2004 Michael Stuhrenberg, a German travel writer, stayed in Warleg- gan as a base to write in the magazine “GEO Special” on Cornwall. He was so enchanted by Warleggan that most of his article covered the vil- lage and it’s inhabitants. Below we commence the serialisation of a translation of the resultant article. BEST WISHES FROM WARLEGGAN Virginia Woolf, Daphne du Maurier, Rosamunde Pilcher are all very en- thusiastic about Cornwall`s wild beauty, particularly about its gorgeous coastline which also deeply impresses photographers. Geo-Special- writer Michael Stürenberg was keen on finding out what these celebrities might have failed to notice in Warleggan, a little hamlet on the moor. Michael Stührenberg from Warleggan/Cornwall to Gerda Stührenberg, Bremen-Aumund Dear Auntie Gerda, Since my phone call from our phone box on the moor (I am writing “our” because nobody else apart from us uses it), I have got the impression that there is a misunderstanding between us. Never did I mention that I dislike Cornwall`s coasts! You asked me, if the countryside was really comparable with the one portrayed in Rosamunde Pilcher`s novels like in “Cliffs of Love”. I just pointed out that we all disliked our trip to Land`s End, this famous sight of Cornwall has become a “theme park”, which is a negative development.

  • Application on Behalf of Cornwall Council and Caradon Observatory for Bodmin Moor to Be Considered As an International Dark Sky Landscape

    Application on Behalf of Cornwall Council and Caradon Observatory for Bodmin Moor to Be Considered As an International Dark Sky Landscape

    1 Executive Summary Bodmin Moor is a special place. Amongst the many environmental designations ranging from the international to the local, Bodmin Moor forms part of an Area of Outstanding Beauty. This means it benefits from the same planning status and protection as English National Parks. Visitors are already drawn to the dramatic panoramas, varied wildlife and intriguing history, with those already in the know also appreciating and learning about the stars in the exceptionally dark night sky. Caradon Observatory readings taken in and around Bodmin Moor quantify the remarkable quality of the sky’s darkness and correspond with the findings of the Campaign to Protect Rural England Night Blight study. The results show that even around the villages there are impressive views of the night sky. There is considerable support from the public and stakeholder organisations for the establishment of Bodmin Moor as an International Dark Sky Landscape with “Park” status. Feedback from residents, businesses, landowners, farmers, astronomers, educators, environmental bodies and other statutory and charitable organisations has helped shape the proposals. Enthusiasm is such that there have already been calls to widen the buffer zone if the designation is successful. The alternative title for the designation stems from local feedback and reflects the AONB status. Bodmin Moor comprises a varied moorland landscape with a few small villages and hamlets so there is very little artificial light. Nevertheless, steps have been taken and are continuing to be made to reduce light pollution, particularly from streets. This means that the vast majority of lighting is sensitive to the dark night sky and is becoming even more sympathetic.
