  • Islington U3A Longer Walking Group
    Islington U3A Longer Walking Group Walk Title Epping Forest Walk No. 198 Area Essex Type Linear Date Friday, 3rd July, 2018 Distance 8 miles (13 km) Timing 3.5 hours walking time + travel + lunch stop. Allow approx 6 hours in total. Therefore expect to be back in Islington before 16.00 pm Meeting up Meet at 10.20 latest, at the entrance of Highbury & Islington, ready & travel to catch the Victoria line to Walthamstow central (or meet there – please indicate this on sign up form). Then we catch the 10.48 Overground train to Chingford (or meet there – please indicate this on sign up form). Overall it’s about a 35 mins journey. We return from Epping tube station on the Central line toward Liverpool Street station. But we can change at Stratford to the Overground and hence get back to H&I. The Freedom Pass/ 60+ Travel card area extends to Chingford and Epping is on the tube system, so no extra tickets required. For any younger members – you’ll need a single ticket to Chingford from Walthamstow. Route (0km, 11.00) From Chingford station we just cross the road and are into Epping Forest (following London Loop sign). From there we take a grassy path onto the ‘Green Ride’. After 1km we veer left (black arrow) on to the gravel ‘Centenary Walk’. Ignore side branches, always keeping straight ahead. On reaching the ‘Cross Roads’ road, we cross straight over (5km, 11.45). After about another couple of kilometres instead of turning right at the Y junction (blue arrow), we take a slight detour to the left to the Conservation Centre where we take a break for lunch (6.5km, 12.00).

    Habilidades Escoteiras 1. Demonstrar que conhece a história do fundador do Movimento Escoteiro, Baden- Powell, destacando os principais marcos de sua vida, incluindo fatos da sua infância, carreira militar e atuação no Escotismo. Lord Baden-Powell of Gilwell, fundador do Movimento Escoteiro e escoteiro-chefe mundial Se você deseja compreender bem o Escotismo, tem que saber algo sobre o homem que fundou o Movimento Escoteiro, um dos mais autênticos “homens-meninos” que já viveram: - Lord Baden- Powell of Gilwell, Escoteiro-Chefe Mundial, conhecido por todos os Escoteiros pelo apelido afetuoso de “B.-P.”. Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell nasceu em Londres, Inglaterra, a 22 de fevereiro de 1857 – no dia em que os americanos celebravam o 125º aniversário de nascimento de George Washington. Seu pai era o Reverendo H. G. Baden-Powell1, professor em Oxford. Sua mãe era filha do Almirante inglês W. T. Smyth. Seu bisavô, Joseph Brewer Smyth, tinha ido como colonizador para New Jersey (América do Norte) mas, voltou para a Inglaterra e naufragou na viagem de regresso. Baden-Powell era, pois, descendente, por um lado, de um Ministro Evangélico, e por outro lado, de um colonizador aventureiro do Novo Mundo. B-P na Juventude Seu pai morreu, quando Robert tinha perto de três anos, deixando sua mãe com sete filhos, dos quais o mais velho não tinha, ainda, quatorze anos. Havia com frequência momentos difíceis para uma família tão grande, mas o amor mútuo entre mãe e filhos ajudava-os a continuar para a frente. Robert viveu uma bela vida ao ar livre com seus quatro irmãos, excursionando e acampando com eles em muitos lugares da Inglaterra.

  • Highway Verge Management
    HIGHWAY VERGE MANAGEMEN T Planning and Development Note Date 23rd January 2019 Version Number 2 Highway Verge Management Review Date 30th March 2024 Author Geoff Sinclair/Richard Edmonds Highway Verge Management PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT NOTE INTRODUCTION Planning and Development Notes (PDN) aim to review and collate the City Corporation’s (CoL) property management issues for key activities, alongside other management considerations, to give an overview of current practice and outline longer term plans. The information gathered in each report will be used by the CoL to prioritise work and spending, in order to ensure firstly that the COL’s legal obligations are met, and secondly that resources are used in an efficient manner. The PDNs have been developed based on the current resource allocation to each activity. An important part of each PDN is the identification of any potential enhancement projects that require additional support. The information gathered in each report will be used by CoL to prioritise spending as part of the development of the 2019-29 Management Strategy and 2019-2022 Business Plan for Epping Forest. Each PDN will aim to follow the same structure, outlined below though sometimes not all sections will be relevant: Background – a brief description of the activity being covered; Existing Management Program – A summary of the nature and scale of the activity covered; Property Management Issues – a list of identified operational and health and safety risk management issues for the activity; Management Considerations
