July to December 2015 Feeling Fitter 29 Part of Renfrewshire Walking Network July to December 2015 Feeling Fitter 29 part of Renfrewshire Walking Network Wednesday and Community Walks around Renfrewshire In association with Why Should I Go Walking? Walking is a great way to stay healthy and benefits are plentiful. Below are a few of the benefits that you can expect to gain by maintaining a level of walking which suits your ability. • Helps control weight • Builds and maintains healthy bones, muscles and joints • Improves the function of your heart and lungs • Relaxes you • Reduces signs of stress and anxiety • Gives you more energy • Reduces high blood pressure and cholesterol • Increases self confidence • Keeps the brain active Why not build up your walking programme If you are starting out on your first walk build up your fitness gradually and join one of the many health walks in your local community, meet lots of new friends and chat while the miles disappear and before you know, its time for a well earned cuppa, whilst reflecting on your morning’s exercise. Next on the programme is level 1A which is slightly longer than your health walk but you know you are ready for the challenge! Moving on to Level 1B which is slightly more adventurous than the last level, incorporating more inclines and walking for a slightly longer distance. Last level on the Renfrewshire Walking Network programme is Level 2 which incorporates all levels adding in rougher ground, longer time and distance walking but just as enjoyable with lots of company along the way! So whatever level you start at there is a walking group in Renfrewshire for you. Welcome Hi Folks, let me introduce you to Feeling Fitter 29, another exciting programme which hopefully will give you hours of happy walking. At The Renfrewshire Walking Network we take pride in our working partnerships which have strengthened through the years and I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved: The fantastic Volunteer Walk Leaders who give up their valuable time and without whom we wouldn’t have a successful programme. The Renfrewshire Walking Network Committee who work behind the scenes securing funds to enable the programme to operate Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park Rangers who are a long standing partner who share their wealth of knowledge and experience with us Forestry Commission who guide us and share their experience and are a valuable partner within our team Not forgetting the many organisations and partners who have funded us through the years and support the walking programme in its many forms from low level walks to community events. On a personal note I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone for their kind thoughts and messages to myself and my husband. It is one year on and everything is fantastic and a few weeks ago we climbed Goatfell on Arran!!

PREFACE. ACTING upon the suggestion of the retiring Master and other prominent members of the Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire Hunt, I have ventured to produce an historical record which it is hoped will meet with the appreciation of those interested. For the description of the sport of the past twenty seasons I am greatly indebted to the diaries so perfectly kept by the late Mr. J. J. Barclay, which were kindly placed at my disposal by Mr. G. Barclay. Without such a valuable asset no work of this kind could ever have been attempted, and I have made the fullest possible use of these records, so that sportsmen and sportswomen of the last quarter of a century can refresh their memory in regard to the many great runs enjoyed during that period. I hope I have succeeded in an effort to furnish a complete and unvarnished account of the doings of the pack, together with a history of the Hunt since its origin. Possibly, at some future time, another enthusiast will take up the pen and bring the records up to date. Harry Judd (" Tantivy "). CONTENTS.

  • Renfrewshire Incapacity Benefit Claimant Profile
    Scottish Observatory for Work and Health University of Glasgow Renfrewshire Incapacity Benefit Claimant Profile April 2010 Judith Brown Joel Smith David Webster James Arnott Ivan Turok Ewan Macdonald Richard Mitchell Contact: Judith Brown Public Health & Health Policy 1 Lilybank Gardens University of Glasgow Glasgow G12 8RZ [email protected] 1 Summary & Key Findings Renfrewshire Incapacity Benefit claimant Profile 1. This incapacity benefit (IB) claimant profile for Renfrewshire gives detailed information on IB claimants by sex, age, reason for claiming IB and length of time on IB. It also contains IB claimant rates for the 38 intermediate zones in Renfrewshire (in 2008, Paisley Ferguslie had the highest IB rate at 23.1% and Houston South the lowest rate at 2.8%). 2. In 2008 there were 10,800 IB claimants in Renfrewshire. The IB rate, on flow rate and off flow rate were determined for Renfrewshire from 2000 to 2008. The percent of the working age population claiming IB has decreased from 12.3% to 10.2% from 2000 to 2008. The rate of on flow has decreased from 3.5% to 2.6% and the off flow rate has increased from 25.0% to 28.5%. 3. The proportion of ‘payment’ IB claimants is larger in Renfrewshire compared to Scotland for both males and females. The proportion of male and female ‘credits only’ IB claimants (those with a poor work history) have increased from 2000 to 2008. There are more female ‘credits only’ claimants than males in Renfrewshire. 4. The proportion of each age group who are claimants rises with age, peaking in the 60-64 age group.

  • Roland the Lochwinnoch Gull Movements for 2017 Below After
    Roland the Lochwinnoch Gull Roland is an adult male Lesser Black-backed Gull. He was hand caught at Castle Semple Loch on the 28th of June. As he was hand caught we don’t have any evidence of nesting behaviour but it is believed, by the movement data below, that he may have a nest on Little Cumbrae. At the time of tagging he weighed 890g and has a wing length of 42.2cm. Roland can be identified in the field by his colour ring 11S:C. Movements for 2017 below After Roland was released he headed to Little Cumbrae and then went foraging in the sea just off the coast of Ardrossan. It is early days data wise at the moment to see where he has favourite foraging places but he has made regular visits back to Castle Semple and has been spotted there by the TnT Team. Map updated on 21/09/17 Roland regularly returns to Castle Semple to forage. He may be a regular occurance at the loch but he does like to move about during the day and hangs out at Hogganfield Loch in Glasgow which is a regular ringing site for members of the Clyde Ringing Group but has yet to be spotted by anyone there. Why don’t you go and see if you can spot him and let us know. Map updated 29/09/17 Roland is spending alot of time at Braehead and is also fishing on the Clyde near Langbank. Fingers crossed it won’t be too long until he moves south.
