  • Alles Wat Je Nog Niet Wist Over the Water of Life Fernand Dacquin Fernand Dacquin
    ALLES WAT JE NOG NIET WIST OVER THE WATER OF LIFE FERNAND DACQUIN FERNAND DACQUIN ALLES WAT JE NOG NIET WIST OVER THE WATER OF LIFE WOORD VOORAF DOOR CHARLES MACLEAN Nog een whiskyboek! Ik schrijf al bijna veertig jaar over whisky. Ik heb zeventien boeken over het onderwerp gepubliceerd, er talloze artikelen over neergepend en tientallen boeken over whisky gelezen – misschien wel honderden. Je zou je heel goed kunnen afvragen: wat valt er nu nog meer of anders over dit onderwerp te vertellen? How many ways are there to skin a cat? Maar dit boek is anders. Fernand, de auteur, vertelde me: ‘Ik maak een boek over mensen, dingen en gebeurtenissen waar een whiskygeurtje aan hangt... Over de minder bekende kant van de whiskywereld, dus. Geen gepraat over het aantal liters, geen wetenschappelijke uitleg, tenzij nodig om het verhaal te begrijpen, en vooral gegarandeerd geen proefnotities. Maar wel 111 artikelen die je wellicht niet in een boek over whisky verwacht...’ 7 Ha! Waarom 111? 111 proof betekent hetzelfde als 63,5% Alcohol By Volume (ABV), en dat is een van de ‘magische getallen’ in whisky. Lang geleden werd ontdekt dat dit de optimale sterkte voor rijping is. New spirit wordt traditioneel tot dit niveau verdund, voordat het in het vat wordt gedaan. Deze subtiele, stille verwijzing naar whisky typeert Fernand. De onderwerpen die hij omarmt, zijn bovendien op zijn zachtst gezegd ongebruikelijk. Fernand en ik ontmoetten elkaar voor het eerst in 1998, op een whiskyfestival in Den Haag. Twee jaar geleden kwamen we elkaar opnieuw tegen, in Edinburgh en later Brussel, met Robrecht Willaert, hoofdredacteur van Travel Magazine en uitgever van de monumentale jaarlijkse A Journey: The Travel Industry Towards 2030.

  • Boomerang's 2008 Log Norway the Shetland Islands St Kilda
    Boomerang’s 2008 Log Norway The Shetland Islands St Kilda 2 April & May South Queensferry to Bergen Hardanger Fjord, Bomlo & Stord Selbjornsfjord to Lerwick Circumnavigation of The Shetland Islands Fair Isle The Orkney Islands Kirkwall to the River Tay Return to South Queensferry 2 3 The Preparations When my diagnosis of MND was confirmed in July 2007 I decided it was time to retire and start off-shore sailing. My first idea was to join the 2008 ARC and for this I needed to find a sailing companion, somebody either unemployed or able to throw off the shackles of labour for a few months. I posted adverts in local yacht clubs and subscribed to the crew-seekers website but without luck until my neighbour at Port Edgar Marina put me in touch with Mike Bowley. We first met in September and I discovered he was an experienced yachtsman, out of work, and although not available to sail south to the Canaries that October, we agreed to cross to Norway the following April. It was a long term ambition of mine to sail to Bergen and somehow I preferred this to sitting in the Caribbean sun. Boomerang is a 35ft Hustler with fin keel and skeg, built in 1971. When I bought her in 2004 I kept her on west coast to sail and make her seaworthy. This meant replacing the sea-cocks and hoses, improving the cockpit drainage, up-grading the primary fuel system and replacing switch panels and most of the wiring. To satisfy the insurers, my gas stove supply also needed modernised but as this would also involve fitting sensors and alarms, I ditched the gas stove overboard and bought a spirit Origa twin burner top stove instead.

  • Norton Marshes to Haddiscoe Dismantled
    This area inspired the artist Sir J. A. Arnesby 16 Yare Valley - Norton Marshes to Brown (1866-1955) who lived each summer Haddiscoe Dismantled Railway at The White House, Haddiscoe. Herald of the Night, Sir J.A.Arnesby-Brown Why is this area special? This is a vast area of largely drained marshland which lies to the south of the Rivers Yare and Waveney. It traditionally formed part of the parishes of Norton (Subcourse), Thurlton, Thorpe and Haddiscoe along with a detached part of Raveningham. It would have had a direct connection to what is now known as Haddiscoe Island, prior to the construction of the New Cut which connected the Yare and Waveney together to avoid having to travel across Breydon Water. There are few houses within this marshland area. Those that exist are confined to those locations 27 where there were, or are transport links across NORFOLK the rivers. The remainder of the settlements have 30 28 developed in a linear way hugging the edges of the southern river valley side. 22 31 23 29 The Haddiscoe Dam road provides the main 24 26 connection north-south from Haddiscoe village to 25 NORWICH St Olaves. 11 20 Gt YARMOUTH 10 12 19 21 A journey on the train line from Norwich to 14 9 Lowestoft which follows the line of the New Cut 13 15 18 16 and then hugs the northern side of the Waveney 17 Valley provides a glorious way to view this area as 8 7 public rights of way into the middle of the marshes LOWESTOFT 6 4 (other than the fully navigable river) are few and 2 3 1 5 far between.

VoiceVol 17-03 Delivered MONTHLY FREE or find us at www.beltonandbrowston.com NEW BUS SERVICE FROM BELTON TO NORWICH From May 29th 2016, a new half hourly bus service, the First Eastern Counties X11 will run from Belton to Norwich via the new bypass to the James Paget Hospital, Gorleston, Great Yarmouth and then to Norwich. This will replace the No 7 on Mondays to Saturdays during the day. The existing No 7 will run during evenings and Sundays. We understand that the first X11 buses to Norwich will leave Belton Bracon Road (Mon-Fri) via James Paget Hospital at 0706,0736,0752,0812,0852,0927,0957 then at 27 and 57 minutes past the hour until 1627. After this X11 will run at 1657,1722,1752,1822 and 1852 to Great Yarmouth only. Service 7 takes over at 1922,2022, and 2152 via the current route to Great Yarmouth. The time table will be available on line from the First Eastern Counties website. While the connection to Norwich is welcome, this change has an adverse effect for patients from Belton attending the doctors’ and dentists’ surgeries in Bradwell. Tony Grice from the East Norfolk Transport Users Association (ENTUA) said that the loss of the Number 7 route came as a shock to ENTUA as in their discussions with First last year, they were hopeful of a service that would link Belton, Bradwell and Burgh Castle to the James Paget Hospital.

  • Great Yarmouth Sites
    Great Yarmouth sites MIN 203 - land north of Welcome Pit, Burgh Castle Site Characteristics • The 4.38 hectare site is within the parish of Burgh Castle • The estimated sand and gravel resource at the site is 280,000 tonnes • The proposer of the site has given a potential start date of 2021 and estimated the extraction rate to be 20,000 tonnes per annum. Based on this information the full mineral resource at the site could be extracted within fourteen years which would be within the plan period. • The site is proposed by Folkes Plant and Aggregates Ltd as an extension to an existing site. • The site is currently in agricultural use and the Agricultural Land Classification scheme classifies the land as being Grade 3 • The site is 3.3km from Great Yarmouth and 3.9km from Gorleston-on-Sea which are the nearest urban areas. M203.1 Amenity: The nearest residential property is 237m from the site boundary. There are four sensitive receptors within 250m of the site boundary. A caravan holiday park is adjacent to the site boundary. The nearest settlements are Burgh Castle, which is about 870 metres to the north and Belton, about 950 metres to the south. Even without mitigation, adverse dust impacts from sand and gravel sites are uncommon beyond 250 metres from the nearest dust generating activities. The greatest impacts will be within 100 metres of a source, if uncontrolled. A planning application for mineral extraction at this site would need to include noise and dust assessments and mitigation measures to deal appropriately with any amenity impacts.

  • Report to Lothingland CLT Concept Note Arising from Scoping Day On
    Report to Lothingland CLT Concept Note arising from scoping day on 15th November 2017 Background Historically Lothingland formed a half-hundred division of a ‘shire’ for military and judicial purposes and in common law which was finally split between Norfolk and Suffolk counties in 1974. The three parishes of Belton with Browston, Fritton with St Olaves and Burgh Castle were all in Lothingland and therefore it seems appropriate to choose this name for the Community Land Trust. Belton with Browston is a parish consisting of the villages of Belton and Browston Green, and is situated some 5 miles (8 km) south-west of Great Yarmouth. The civil parish has an area of 3.23 square miles (8.36 square km) and with a population of 3,805 at the 2011 Census although according to the Parish website there are now over 4500 inhabitants in over 1650 properties, all but 50 being in Belton. Fritton and St Olaves is a civil parish and comprises the villages of Fritton and St. Olaves together with the surrounding rural area. It has an area of 7.63 km2 (2.95 sq mi) and a population of 524 at the 2011 census. Burgh Castle is a village and civil parish with a population of 1150 in the 2011 census. It is situated on the east bank of the River Waveney, some 6 km west of Great Yarmouth and is within the Broads National Park.
