OCTOBER ON THE LIZARD
Diary of a Week’s Exploration - NJCT
For those who like coastal walking, the Lizard is a special place, blessed as it is with a mild climate as the most southerly point in Britain. There are spectacular cliffs, tiny fishing harbours clustered with stone cottages, blue seas, white surf, and sandy beaches surmounted by heathland and small farms. At Julie Brix’s suggestion, October is a good time to go when the holiday crowds have dispersed but cafes and shops are still open at the end of the season. The location had been outvoted in favour of Hebden Bridge for this year’s group holiday, but nine of us decided to check it out independently with an eye to the future. Three ladies travelled down by train on Saturday 17th, arriving at teatime after taking the bus from Redruth to Helston and then on to Lizard village. The remaining five arrived on the 8.30pm bus, in order to take advantage of the cheapest door to door rail ticket: a bargain £11.20 each way. (Beware though: the writer’s taxi fare from Redruth to Helston at £30, necessitated by lack of a late Sunday bus, was more than the rest of the entire return journey!) After careful research Julie had booked four (Vivienne, Dolores, Maria, and Margaret) in spacious newly decorated rooms at the ‘Top House’ Inn. The others (Julie, Jane, Val, Dorothy) were up the road in a self catering cottage at ‘Parc Brawse’ with Nigel judiciously billeted in B&B at the main house for arrival the next day. Sunday started with a walk from the village up steps onto a double hedge, across meadows with serpentine stiles over Lizard Downs to the picturesque Kynance Cove with its sandy beach and the largest outcrop of serpentine rock in Britain. After coffee the first shot at the coastal path: a clifftop stroll southwards to Lizard Point for lunch, continuing to various points with the last group returning from Kilcobben Cove. It was on this stretch that Dorothy spotted four of the rare Choughs (crowlike birds with orange beaks) which have been successfully re-introduced to Cornwall. Arriving after five o’clock, Nigel found Parc Brawse after a little prospecting and we all descended on the Housel Bay Hotel for dinner. An interesting place: it was used as a base by Guglielmo Marconi in 1901 when he set up his pioneering radio station nearby at Pen Olver. Modernised since then (fortunately) we were almost the only diners in the conservatory and had the opportunity to examine some interesting Churchillian memorabilia in the bar afterwards. Monday dawned fine and we headed for Church Cove, stopping to admire Landewednack, the southernmost parish church in England.  Admiring the view at Church Cove Meanwhile down at Kilcobben cove, Phil Burgess, coxswain of the Lizard lifeboat was enjoying a quiet cup of tea with one of the crewmen in the lifeboat station. Suddenly they were invaded by not just one or two, but eight ladies brandishing sticks! Strangers from far away Hertfordshire, with an elderly gent tagging on behind. However we turned out to be friendly and interested in the immaculate Tyne class lifeboat and its operators so explanations were given, we were showered with free postcards, and finally given a ride up to the top of the cliff in their electric hoist! Tucked away in this sheltered cove, the lifeboat house is shortly due for complete replacement at a cost of £6 million and local appeals are in full swing.  Serious thoughts at the Lizard Lifeboat House Leaving the lifeboat station we then headed South along the cliff path to Bass point, exchanging pleasantries with the National Coastwatch volunteer on duty above us in the former coastguard station (They won’t let you inside now in case you distract the watchkeeper). Arriving at Pen Olver we were just in time for the National Trust guide to open Marconi’s Radio hut, restored as a museum, listening to the audio presentation. Replica equipment is displayed and part of the hut is still used as an amateur radio station, callsign GB2LD. Continuing along the path we passed the Lighthouse, reaching the café at Lizard Point for lunch. (It was near here that Mark W was descended upon by a helicopter rescue man in 2002 ‘looking for a man in a yellow shirt’.) After lunch we then enjoyed a guided tour of the lighthouse, climbing up to look at the automatically functioning lantern with its massive Fresnel lenses. Interestingly they keep it switched on and rotating all of the time, but the bulb is now a modern halogen one not much bigger than a domestic light bulb rather than the impressive 3 kilowatt tungsten filament type previously used. (The emergency one for use outside if all else failed was only 40 watts!) Downstairs in the old generator room there is also a newly opened exhibition showing the operations of Trinity House, well worth a visit. Concluding an interesting day we then returned to the village across country, eating out in the evening at the ‘Witchball’ restaurant, complete with fake ‘village idiot’ and recommended for seafood by Mr Burgess. A bonus followed at the ‘Top Hat’ as we were treated to a pleasant variety of folk music from a group with mandolins, guitars and recorder: Dorothy and Margaret did a jig or two and Dorothy and Julie jived (apparently a first at the pub) but the local singers kept quiet! A damp Tuesday morning saw us taking the bus to Mullion golf club whence a short stroll took us to the 15th century church of St Winwaloe, Gunwalloe: ‘The Church in the Sands’ tucked behind its protecting headland on the seashore.  Gunwalloe Church Continuing South along the cliff path we came to the sandy beach at Poldu Cove, spending some time birdwatching before repairing to the café for elevenses. Ascending the cliff afterwards we came to the Marconi monument just as a squall swept in: it was here in 1901 that he established a large and very powerful wireless station which transmitted the first radio signals across the Atlantic to Newfoundland. Almost nothing of the original remains now, but there are some modern tall aerials and a visitor centre (closed on Tuesday) together with another amateur radio club nearby. By the time we reached Mullion Cove, a mile further on we had almost dried out and we were beckoned into the impressive Mullion Cove Hotel by a group of walkers from Herts and Beds who were staying there. Would we be acceptable in the rather upmarket looking bar in our walking gear? No problem and the soup and moules mariniere were excellent, whilst others lunched down in the harbour.  Mullion Harbour With the sun coming out again we then headed inland towards the North Predannack Downs nature reserve, picking late blackberries from the hedgerows en route. Actually there wasn’t much to be seen on the reserve apart from a Merlin which flew over us several times at low level. However this one was very big, noisy, and made of metal, being owned by the Royal Navy practicing helicopter manoeuvres on Predannack airfield nearby! The path then took us back to the main road by the large Parkdene holiday camp where we had the opportunity to buy a few provisions from the ‘Costcutter’ shop before getting the bus back. Dinner was at the ‘Top House’ again, followed by a quiz evening for which we split into two teams. Somewhat to our astonishment (as the scores were quite low) we achieved second and third places overall (out of nine), and thanks to Dolores their team also won the backup competition in which numerous ‘Georges’ had to be identified (eg King George VI, George Stephenson, George Formby). We were eating pieces of chocolate orange for the rest of the week, but the scratch cards yielded no wins! Wednesday started as another fine day and this time we explored the East side of the peninsula from Church Cove round to Cadgwith with its picturesque harbour and welcome teashop, passing ‘The Devils Frying Pan’, an impressive pool formed by the collapse of a sea cave, into which the waves pour through a natural arch.  The Devil's Frying Pan North East of Cadgwith the cliff path then led through scrubby moorland grazed by National Trust ponies to the sheltered valley at Carleon Cove with stunted trees and the ruins of an old Serpentine works. Heading up the valley to the National Trust car park at Poltesco (exhibition room closed), seven of us continued along the road to Kuggar for lunch outside the (closed) ‘Potters Bar’. Jane and Val in the meantime returned to the Lizard village by bus from Ruan Minor. After lunch we rejoined the coastal path further North at Thorny Cliff and then headed back South back to Carleon Cove. Those who wanted to enjoy the coastal path to the maximum then followed it all the way back via Cadgwith, where two diverted inland to inspect the isolated church at Grade. This time we decided to eat in at the cottage for the evening meal, enjoying bought-in fish and chips and pasties with a blackberry and apple crumble knocked up by Nigel with Julie and Dorothy as volunteer skivvies, followed by a ‘face identification’ quiz set by Dorothy (which Dolores won substantially), and a bit of singing led (or inflicted) by the cook to end the evening. The Thursday walk started with another bus ride to Mullion where, much to Margaret’s delight, we walked to ‘The Chocolate Factory’, buying a few goodies and watching an interesting demonstration of colour wash art on tissue at ‘Gallery Anthony’. Rejoining the coastal path we set out on a breezy walk back to Lizard village via Mullion harbour, the Lizard National Nature Reserve on Predannack Downs, and Kynance Cove. The strong wind had raised plenty of white horses on the sea and it was worth spending some time just watching the waves crashing into the cliffs as the tide came into the cove. In the evening we returned to the Housel Bay Hotel for supper, returning under a sky iridescent with the Milky Way. Margaret initiated us into the art of star gazing, pointing out the main constellations.  Waves at Kynance Cove By way of a contrast on Friday, our last day, we took the bus to Helston and set out South through the woods of the Loe valley, reaching the East bank of Loe pool. This we followed round Carminowe Creek to Loe Bar, a massive shingle bank which separates the pool from the sea at Porthleven Sands. Three of us went up the dunes to inspect the monument there to the crew of HMS Anson, drowned when she was wrecked nearby in 1807. Tramping along the bar we then headed for the fishing harbour of Porthleven, just as the rain started to come in, and nicely in time for lunch in the various cafes still open. Taking the bus back to Helston afterwards, we had an hour to check out the shops before resuming the journey back. Our last dinner was booked for the ‘Witchball’ again (sans village idiot this time!) where a presentation was made to Julie for her hard work in planning and organising a most enjoyable week. Saturday saw us departing for Redruth on the No.33 bus (again) and the London trains, arriving home safely around 7 pm. During this visit we confined ourselves mainly to local walks, gleefully using our bus passes on the No.33 bus to Helston. Using buses it would however be possible to go further afield eg to St Michael’s Mount, Penzance, Falmouth etc so there is plenty of scope for a future group holiday. With plenty of accommodation available (though early booking is desirable) the Lizard can certainly be recommended! Posted on 05 Jan 2010 by Brenda
CHAIRMAN'S RAM-BLOG 11th December 2009
My first year as Chair has now been achieved; it has certainly been an eventful year. The year started with snow and damp conditions, which soon transformed to a period of warm dry weather, almost forgotten now. We have had an excellent programme of varied walks across many counties, enjoyed the changing seasons, floribunda and encountered the unusual and amusing. These walks are the result of the commitment of our walk leaders – a big thanks to you all.
Our recent AGM was very successful, with morning walks and a shared lunch before the AGM. This was followed by an amusing presentation from some of our founder members Pat, Ron, Roy and Sue. In 2010 we are planning to walk the Capital Ring, I am planning to add a section each month to the walks programme. I wish you all Merry Christmas and a peaceful New Year and enjoy your walking in 2010 wherever you may be. Dennis Posted on 11 Dec 2009 by Brenda
WHERE WERE YOU...
For those of you not at the AGM on 7th November...
You missed two excellent walks and a very interesting meeting. As well as the normal business we were treated to an illustrated description of some of the local footpath problems that are investigated (and sometimes objected to) by Chris and Mark – and an entertaining talk on the history of EHR (nobody wanting to be on the committee even then…) We have a new elected committee member, David, and Malcolm (a longstanding committee member and former chairman) has retired but will still be out walking with us (and hopefully carrying on leading us through the mud). So you don’t miss it next year make a note in your new diary – Saturday 6 November 2010! Posted on 11 Dec 2009 by Brenda
LOCKED UP AND STARVED OF VICTUALS
Shock horror! Mark nearly misses breakfast. (This is what happened to the most gourmand of our members, when holidaying with our group of 18 in the locality of Southwold over the May Day holiday weekend.)
Pam M had ensconced us in three delightfully diverse lodgings – B&B at Poplar Hall (the site of the breakfast disaster), an inn in Wangford and some in self-catering appartments. We met at The Crown at Snape for lunch on the Friday, followed by a circular walk via Blaxhall Common and Iken Cliff led by Sarah.  Trees on Kessingland Our group was joined by Roy and Sue W of former EHR fame, on all but Sunday's walk. Pam took us to Dunwich Village and Warbelswick; with David we enjoyed sea breezes along the coastal Benacre National Nature Reserve, passing the roofless walls of Covehithe church. Malcolm led us inland to enjoy the wrath of a local landowner, (soon put in his place by Roy), and Ellough church with its brasses and roof braces. Finally Sarah educated us around Minsmere RSPB nature reserve on Tuesday morning, the day of our return. We shared some memorable meals, although Daphne, Mark and Sarah went bat watching one evening; to enjoy bat en croute perhaps? Sarah and Margaret celebrated their birthdays by kind permission of Daphne. who had laboured over a hot stove, or a piece of cleverly designed marzipan, to produce an artistic goat which we soon all destroyed with gusto! We saw a myriad of wildlife and some domesticated, living in detached, corrugated des. res. for Suffolk is pig country. Some other noteworthy delights were: - The lost village of Dunwich with the church bells ringing, metaphorically, in our ears. - Sizewell on the horizon - The view of Southwold across the river Blyth from Walberswick - A plethora of habitats - shingle seashore, sand dunes, freshwater reedmarsh, lagoons, mixed woodland and heath - Widlife spotting from deer to hares and from butterflies to egrets and avocets - Visiting Blythburgh church with its angels roof and seven deadly sins poppyheads, to include Slander, Gluttony, Hypocrisy and Sloth - Retail therapy at Minsmere RSPB shop Many thanks go to those who made this holiday possible.  Walking in all directions To put the story straight, Mark was able to escape with the help of a screwdriver winched to his bedroom window in a bucket. Was this a wise move?

WALKING GEAR - THEN AND NOW
Talk on walking gear at Nomad, Bishop’s Stortford
On the evening of 6th May several EHR members, along with other like-minded local people, attended an entertaining talk on walking gear, “then and now” by Paul Goodyear of Nomad Travel. We were shown how technology has improved the manufacture of waterproof jackets and walking boots, how traditional merino wool is still the most effective and lightweight material for base-layers, and that waterproof socks could save you money on your next pair of boots. The evening included nibbles and drinks and attendees also received a 20% off voucher - this has enabled a few of us to invest in some high-fashion togs! Many thanks to Nomad for organising this event. Posted on 02 Sep 2009 by Brenda
CHAIRMAN'S RAM-BLOG 2nd September 2009
The year continues to fly - another Newsletter and Walks Programme to write for. The previous programme has been well supported, thank you to all the walk leaders.
This programme includes our 30th Anniversary Walk when we are hoping to recreate the first group walk from 30 years ago. Chris will lead this walk as he led the original walk. Delving into the archives (original documents supplied by Chris) has revealed some interesting data regarding the history and etiquette of the group: - September 1979 - A request from Ramblers HQ to set-up a local group. - 8th December 1979 - Group formation meeting at Place House Ware where 14 people attended. The resulted in the formation of the South East Hertfordshire group. - 16th December 1979 - First group walk from Ware station to Standon led by Chris. - The original walks all started from or near various railways stations in the area. - The subscription was £3.50. Joint membership (husband and wife) £4.40. - 11th February 1980 - First committee meeting held. - Always walk behind the leader. Inform the leader if you intend to leave the party during the day, otherwise everyone could be inconvenienced looking for you. (Note – these recommendations still apply today!) - Carry a first aid kit and torch. Next year I am hoping to include in the programme a series of chain walks (bring your own chains!) around Hertfordshire. This will be a series of 16–17 walks linked together as a series of figure-of-eight walks for everyone to enjoy especially if you are only available for half-day walks. This is also an opportunity for new leaders as most of these walks have already been tried and tested by the East Herts Footpaths Society. Another milestone to note is the demise of the East Herts Ramblers Working Party after 16 years, as a result of re-alignment of the CMS working parties. A big thank you to all those people who have contributed to the numerous tasks over the years, improving our footpaths and bridleways. The East Herts Ramblers road show has been out in July and a good time was had by us all, see below. A date for the diary - we are planning a Barn dance on Saturday 6th March 2010, all members and friends welcome. Finally, if you would like to join the Committee, we are always looking for new members. Posted on 02 Sep 2009 by Brenda

BROXBOURNE OPEN DAY
At 11.30 on 4th July and under a blue sky, we installed ourselves beneath a spreading cedar in the grounds of Bishops College, the venue for Broxbourne Open Day.
Our wares of ramblers' materials from head office, included leaflets, balloons and badges. Edward soon had the bright idea of pinning the latter to every passing child as a free walking advert for us. Brenda's treasure hunt on an OS map of East Herts proved popular. It will soon be a case of shop 'til you drop in M and S for one lucky winner. Here we are in our lookalike boys blue polo shirts, thanks to Brenda's brainwave and my VAT saving mentality (from the left Julie, Dennis, Brenda and Edward).  EHR publicity team Dennis used his IT skills (with a little bit of help from the computer club stall), to produce a power point presentation of our recent holidays on my unfamiliar laptop. We all did our proactive bit in going out to meet the public, receiving plenty of protestations and promises about giving ramblers a go. Time will tell! Thanks to the team for an excellently executed publicity campaign. Posted on 08 Jun 2009 by Brenda
WINTER SUN AT ALBUFEIRA
A Pilot Walking Holiday on the Algarve - Nigel Thomas
At the invitation of a Mid-Herts Ramblers member, a group of nine East Herts Ramblers went to check out the walking from this popular resort over two weeks in February. Staying in the off-season at the self-catering ‘Clube Praia da Oura’ apartment complex this promised to be a bargain at £13 a night, particularly when combined with Easyjet return flights to Faro for £66. Flights were in some doubt however the day before departure as Luton airport was completely snowbound and closed! Very fortunately it cleared on the Tuesday and we departed as planned, arriving at Faro in pouring rain. Our luck held too, as after an exceptionally wet January on the Algarve this turned out to be our wettest day there and after some light showers in the first few days conditions steadily improved to give bright sunshine and shorts weather: a real tonic. Now in mid-summer I can imagine that Albufeira might seem like hell for some of us! The proliferation of ‘English’ bars, pubs, and cafes and existence of a ‘Las Vegas style’ nightclub ‘strip’ not far away looked ominous but don’t be put off: many of these businesses were closed for the winter and in fact it was quiet and pleasant. In February there is a rather different, mainly older, clientele escaping a cold, grey winter at home. The apartments were spacious and well equipped: seven of us had a view over the large swimming pool and garden area from three adjacent ones, Daphne and Sarah (who booked later) were further up the hill but at ground level overlooking a pond with frogs. A lovely beach with golden sand beckoned just below the complex, from which there were very pleasant and scenic walks in both directions. The introductory walk, led by Peter and Glenys, on the first full day showed us that Albufeira is a large resort with many facilities: it takes half a day to walk from Praia da Oura to the marina on the other (west) side of town. Local buses were frequent however and cheap if you bought a prepayment card and we took full advantage of this on most days. Undoubtedly the most spectacular walking was along the coast, particularly to the West where there were high cliffs with spectacular erosion and wonderful colours in the varied strata, pounded by the Atlantic rollers. Close up there were layers of fossilised sea creatures, whilst the colourful shells of their current descendants could be picked up on the shoreline. Lush vegetation above included palm trees and eucalyptus woods, prickly pear cacti, and exotic flowers.  Cliffs from Ferragudo Inland the scenery was pleasantly undulating: the highest point we got to being just under 1000 feet. Typical terrain consisted of orange, almond, and olive groves (many seeming to be abandoned with the fruit left to fall) dotted with ancient farmhouses and ubiquitous barking dogs! Footpaths here tended to be sparsely marked but improvements are being made.  View from Paderne Castle For birdwatchers among us (Daphne, Dorothy and myself) Sarah and Daphne led a day trip out to the Ria Formosa nature reserve, situated on the marshy, low lying coastline East of Faro. Although it was officially closed at the weekend (!) one could easily walk in via the seafront and we enjoyed some excellent views of Storks, Stilts, Spoonbills, Avocets, and overflying Flamingos. Luckily the star attraction (a very rare Purple Gallinule) made an appearance ‘on cue’ just before a warden with waterdogs politely invited us to leave. Not having our own transport we found that on most days it was necessary to start with a bus to the main bus station, then take another to the various starting points for the walks. With waits for connections this could involve two hours of travelling each way and a cost of about £10 per day, so for a future visit it would be worth considering hiring cars. Interestingly though the local trains were quicker and cheaper, but an 8 Euro taxi ride was necessary to get to the station. If you didn’t want to spend time travelling though I found that one could enjoy a day or two just beachcombing, dodging the incoming tide, and exploring the bays and coastline immediately below our basecamp.  Goats going for a ramble With the abundance of restaurants and cafes there was no shortage of options for eating out, with an evening meal costing about £12-16 (Fresh sardines highly recommended!) Alternatively several supermarkets near the apartments supplied all that was needed for self-catering, but imported goods were expensive! Basically it was necessary to allow £30 per day for food and transport, but this could be reduced considerably by walking locally, eating in, and bringing some staples with you. General verdict? As an economical winter sun option, this is probably about as near to home as you will get! Provided that the weather is decent one can enjoy really interesting and spectacular coastal walking, some of it setting off directly from the apartments. There are also nature reserves and small fishing ports (with fresh sardines) to be visited. Inland it is less dramatically scenic , but there are castles and interesting local towns to visit at Silves, Paderne, and Estoi (when open!) and ‘Don Quixote’ type windmills among the hills. If the weather is not so good there are entertainments in Albufeira itself, or one could go further afield eg by train to Lisbon. I would certainly recommend it for a group visit next year, and would like to thank the walk leaders Mike, Mark, Peter, Glenys, Daphne and Sarah for their contribution to the success of the holiday.

REPORTING FOOTPATH PROBLEMS
If you come across an obstructed path whilst out walking it is helpful if you can report it. Make a note of the location, preferably with a grid reference and photo and send the details to Herts County Council:
Countryside Access Officer, Rights of Way Section, Environmental Management Group, Environmental Department, County Hall, Hertford SG13 8DN. Within our area we have vacancies for Footpath Secretaries - contact Chris for more information. Posted on 20 Mar 2009 by Brenda
NI GROUP HOLIDAY - SEPTEMBER 2008
Twenty-two members of East Herts Ramblers enjoyed an energetic and sociable week walking in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The walking programme had been planned and lead by Pam N. The coach driver likened her to a member of the SAS – finding roads he didn’t know existed on the way to our start of the Moyle Way.
 Dunluce Castle Some of the highlights of our week included:  Colours of Rathlin We ended the trip with Sunday lunch in Portrush where we had been staying in excellent B&B accommodation. Posted on 17 Dec 2008 by Brenda
