However, I have been told that a Monkey Puzzle tree is to be cut down as it is not part of the original Mawson garden. There are plenty of things in the garden now that have nothing to do with Mawson - a Tree Top trail over head for a start! Why ruin a perfectly good tree which has interest to people and would surely have been planted by a Victorian traveller? This information might not be correct, but I am just commenting to find out more please!

I have always been a bit fascinated by islands - the isolation of them perhaps? - I look at the Isle of Man sort of stuck right in the middle of the Irish Sea and it just seems like it would be a unique place to visit. I have also heard that its got the remnants of a unique dialect (Manx Gaelic I think?), and from a map I just looked at it does have a mountain peak of 625 meters. Not the Alps, but surely a place to get a great view of the entire island from.Green Worldhttp://www.greenworldbvi.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156738762996381209.post-57141228672393955352012-09-24T10:29:05.660+01:002012-09-24T10:29:05.660+01:00Superb Post and Great Ideas

The history of Benny Rothman needs to told and put into perspective - and who better to do this then Benny himself!! A new DVD plus an audio CD are soon to be released by MNVDISCS/Discs International , titled......<br /><br /><br />" BENNY ROTHMAN IN HIS OWN WORDS"<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />Producer Will Scally, who interviewed and filmed Rothman at home in the mid 1980's, explained that "this interview has never been seen and has created a lot of interest from not just ramblers but social historians. He speaks about many issues and the people that he came up against, this was against a very turbulent backdrop" Benny Rothman led the Kinder Scout Mass Trespass of 1932, the first significant event in the movement demanding public access to the countryside; within three years it had inspired the formation of the Ramblers' Association. This became known as the mass trespass of Kinder Scout and was an act of willful trespass by the ramblers. It took place at Kinder Scout, in the Peak District of Derbyshire on April 24th.<br /><br /><br />On that day a small crowd was expected to join in, but what took place surprised many, the small expected crowd became a 500- strong ramblers army.Two hundred police failed to stop them from surging on to the broad shoulder of Kinder Scout, now one of the park's most visited glories. The trespass proceeded via William Clough to the plateau of Kinder Scout, where they were met by the gamekeepers, violent scuffles and brief fights took place and a drunken gamekeeper suffered a broken ankle.<br /><br /><br />They reached their destination and met with another group. On the return, five of the group along with Rothman were arrested and others detained. Rothman just turned twenty-one was up on charges of riotous assembly and assault.<br /><br /><br />He soon prepared notes of what he was going to say to the jury. He wanted to make a case, he said, for the right to go walking in the countryside. Trespass was not a criminal offence, but they would receive prison sentences of two to six months for offences relating to violence against the gamekeepers. The mass trespass marked the beginning of a media campaign by The Ramblers Association, culminating in the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, which legislates rights to walk on mapped access land. Just how much was against him purely because of his Jewish background and being an active member of the Communist Party? This year has been the 80th anniversary of Kinder Scout Mass Trespass. "The Manchester Rambler - Benny Rothman "In His Own Words" DVD has made a timely appearance and should not be missed. Benny Rothman died in 2002 aged 90 - his legacy lives on .<br /><br /> <br /><br />Barry Levene.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br />Information on how to order this DVD and other rare interviews in the MNVDISCS catalogue please contact: 3sixtypr@gmx.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156738762996381209.post-20655001899573584062012-07-26T18:04:55.512+01:002012-07-26T18:04:55.512+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.JhenChttp://www.cheapestfrontlineplus.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156738762996381209.post-2667769653646729362012-07-05T09:05:17.444+01:002012-07-05T09:05:17.444+01:00I really like the ideas of walking to work (or if ...I really like the ideas of walking to work (or if you have to commute to park a bit further away or get off the bus a couple of stops earlier). <br /><br />Walking during lunch is also a great idea and really refreshes you and so helps you be more productive I think. <br /><br />Getting a dog is certainly a good one also, but does come with a lot of extra work so maybe not for everyone. <br /><br />Another thing you could do is go walking when you're on holiday. There are many great walking holidays available nowadays and walking can be a great way to really immerse yourself in an area.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for the ideas :)Davehttp://www.walkingholidayinfo.co.uk/noreply@blogger.com
