Unique concert for homeless charities Ivybridge is set to host a very special charity concert to raise money for charities working for homeless people.

Organised by local up and coming band The Malthusian Trap, with support from local charity The Eddystone Trust, the concert on Saturday, 1st October, at The Clay Factory, Redlake Trading Estate, is part of the national Musicians Against Homelessness programme, set up to raise money for homeless charities while giving a platform for emerging musicians.

The line-up includes popular local acts such as The Poet Junkies, Steve Strong, Pattern V Pusher, Jamie Yost, Samuel Wulf and Owen Penrice, as well as

The Malthusian Trap.

All the acts have given their time for free, and the unique setting of this special concert has set the local music scene alight with excitement.

As well as fantastic music, the event will include local artists, making it a festival of local arts and culture. Food will be available from local food producers and there will be a licenced bar.

The event starts at 2pm and goes on until 11pm.

Ticket are ÂŁ20 and can be obtained online at wegottickets.com All the profits from the event will go to homeless charities, so locals are being urged to show their support for an innovative project that will help make a difference, while also having a great time.

NEWS Laura to ‘Brave The Shave’

Woodlands Park Primary School’s specialist music teacher, Debbie Down, presents a cheque for £662.20, raised by the school’s ‘WoodFest’ music festival, to Colin Allum, a co-ordinator of Ivybridge Memory Cafe. Pupils at the school worked alongside members of the Café, for people living with memory difficulties, in workshops, before performing at ‘Woodfest’ together. The workshops will commence again in September with a new group of children who love music and helping others.

NEW SOCIAL GROUP FOR CARERS STARTING A social group for people who care for family, partners or friends is being launched in Ivybridge this month.

The group will meet on the first Wednesday of each month, starting on Wednesday, 7th September, between 11am and 12.30pm in Ivybridge Library.

The group is for any carers in Ivybridge and the surrounding area who provide unpaid support for family, partners or friends who need help because they are ill, frail or have a disability.

The group will be a chance to

meet other carers and have some social time together in a friendly environment.

The group is being started by Devon Carers, a charity which supports unpaid carers in the Devon county area.

Any carer in Devon can access its helpline, which is open six days a week for information, advice and signposting.

There is also a regular newsletter about local events and support groups and a Carer Alert Card to ensure the person they care for gets help if something happens

to the carer.

If any carer is struggling to look after themselves, or does not feel they have support from family and friends, or feels that they do not have the support and help that they need, they may wish to have a Carers Assessment, through which they may be able to access more support and help.

Carers should contact Devon Carers for more information. î For more information about the carers’ social group, contact Sarah Tuhill on 03456 434 435.

An Ivybridge woman is going to ‘Brave The Shave’ to raise money for Macmillian.

Laura Willis is set to have her head shaved on Friday, 9th September, at 9pm at Ivybridge Constitutional Club.

As well as raising money, Laura is also going to donate her hair to The Princess Trust, who provide free wigs to children who have lost their hair through cancer treatment.

Laura has been moved to be a ‘brave shaver’ after witnessing members of her family battling cancer and seeing first hand the vital service Macmillian provide, not only for the patients but also their families.

She also thinks that what The Princess Trust do is incredible by giving a child the chance to feel’normal’ while they go through the toughest challenge that they will face.

To support Laura, visit bravetheshave.org.uk and put Laura Willis into the ‘search for a brave shaver’.

People can donate to The Princess Trust via just giving.com/Laura-Willis10

NEWS Summer is British champ

CARNIVAL TIME FOR BROWNIES 2nd Ivybridge Brownies got in the mood for the Rio Olympics with a mini Rio carnival to end their term.

Having each found a fact about Rio to share, so they could all learn about the Olympic host city, the girls made headdresses.

Feathers were then flying – and dropping off – everywhere as the

girls headed outside for some games and then everyone enjoyed cooling down eating fruit kebabs.

All the Brownies received their Mission Spectacular badge after completing activities throughout the term to celebrate 100 years of Senior Section (the guiding section for 14-25 year olds).

The meeting ended with the pack saying goodbye to its four eldest Brownies, who are moving on to Guides, and young leader Rosie Cantin or ‘Robin’, who, after four years helping, is off to university. î If you are interested in joining Brownies, visit girlguiding.org.uk to register your interest.

GET IT FIXED FOR FREE AT REPAIR IT IVYBRIDGE In a fix with your broken electrical items and gadgets? Then it is time to get them fixed for free at a special event in Ivybridge this month.

Recycle Devon’s REPAIR IT event is taking place on Saturday, 10th September, at Ivybridge Methodist Church Hall.

Recycle Devon is putting on a series of REPAIR IT events across the county for householders to bring along their broken electrical appliances, including computers, to be fixed by local menders at no cost Organised in conjunction with

local sustainability group PL:21 Transition Initiative, the Ivybridge event will run from 10am-12:30pm and repairs will be carried out on a first come, first served basis, so please be prepared to wait.

Menders will include Stephen Evans from Any Fix South West.

Tony Barber, chair of PL:21, says: “We’re looking forward to reaping the benefit of the local mending skills that are out there in the community for this event.”

Emma Croft, Re-use Project Coordinator, added: “Research shows that more than 75% of the

small electrical items that come into our recycling centres could be back up and running if they were repaired.

“These events are designed to help householders waste less and enable them to save money and resources by not having to replace something broken.”

CRT TVs or monitors, electric blankets or microwaves will not be able to be fixed at the event for safety reasons.

St John’s Church Vintage Tea Party was a huge success, raising just over £400. People of all ages from the Parish and surrounding area enjoyed lovely homemade cakes served by the ‘nippy’ waitresses! Children had the chance to make sea pictures and spinning tops as well as play ‘hook a duck’ and other classics. There was also

a great raffle and plenty to buy.

The church is now looking ahead to the big event in December when it will be holding its second Christmas Tree Festival.

If you are part of a group or business and would like to help with the challenge of making it even bigger and better than last year please get in touch.

î To find out more, contact Emma on 07966 566435 or via emma.croft@devon.gov.uk

THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918 RECOUNTING LIFE IN THE TOWN O OO REMEMBERING THE FALLEN

T

he Somme Battle raged on. By 3rd September 1916 the 8th and 9th Devons had been fighting continuously since July and were behind the lines resting. They were unexpectedly summoned back to the front, the message interrupting an officers’ football match.

On 6th September the 9th Devons – only 400 strong by this point – attacked alongside the Gordon Highlanders just east of Delville Wood near Ginchy, France. They suffered very heavy casualties. The regimental history states that eight officers and 100 men were killed, wounded or missing – 25% casualties. Amongst the dead were John Damerell of Woodlands, aged just 17. He died alongside Corporal Robert John Anstiss, aged 25, of Ivybridge. They are both buried in the Delville Wood cemetery. The fact that they are buried so close to the battle suggests that they were killed in action. One of the survivors, Company Sergeant Major Randell, reported to HQ afterwards that the damage was done by both enemy machine-gun fire and British shells falling short of their target.

The official postcard received by the parents of Martin John Damerell. (WITH THANKS TO JOHN STACEY – DAMERELL FAMILY)

News of these deaths reached home soon afterwards. John Damerell’s family still has the postcard sent to them showing John’s grave in Delville Wood Cemetery marked by a wooden cross.

Group celebrates successful year Erme Valley Riding for Disabled’s end of term barbecue and presentation evening marked the close of a very busy time for the south Devon based group.

Riders, directors, volunteers, parents and friends came together to celebrate another successful year for the group and to commend the achievements and efforts of riders and volunteers alike.

Junior rider Kirsty Mabin was recognised for her achievements in dressage and for her win at the 2016 National Championships on board pony Tilly.

Meagan Mawson was presented with the ‘Young Helper of the year’ award to commend her efforts and commitment to the group, while Sophie Turriff was congratulated for her recent qualification as an RDA assistant coach.

The group took five horses and 10 qualified riders to the annual Riding for Disabled National Championships, held at Hartpury College, Gloucestershire. The weekend saw success for many of the group’s riders in varying disciplines, from Imogen Darke’s win in the newly-established 6

Latest news from Ivybridge Town Council LONGTIMBER WOODS Regular walkers in Longtimber Woods will have already seen the work to drain the former swimming pool area and put an earth ramp into the space to make it an accessible place to meet and enjoy barbecues.

To celebrate the completion of the work and to increase understanding of this important area of ancient woodland, which is part of Dartmoor National Park, we are hosting an event on Sunday, 11th September, from 1pm until 4pm.

Rupert Lane will provide a guided walk at 2pm through the area explaining the trees and how the area has evolved over centuries, as well as looking ahead to how people can get more involved by being part of a Friends group to support the activities, as well as understanding the management of this small part of Dartmoor National Park.

The Ivybridge Heritage Group will have a small display about the history of the area and would welcome any local knowledge to add to their understanding, including any old photographs.

The Guides will be on hand in the swimming pool area to prepare some food and drink using the new barbecues, but also to show off their camping skills too.

Do come along and learn more about this fascinating area on our doorstep.

‘search for a star’ RDA showing demonstration, to Nia Rundle’s win in the senior Country-side Challenge and combined training. Fantastic results were also achieved in the dressage and show-jumping classes.

The RDA National Championships is an event much anticipated by riders and volunteers of the group and a major highlight for all those involved. There is a substantial cost involved, however, so the group would like to

whole-heartedly thank players of the People’s Postcode Lottery for supporting the Riding for Disabled association, and for kindly donating funding to the Erme Valley group to help cover travel costs for the event.

Entirely dependent on donations, the group would not be able to attend such events as the National Championships without the kind support of all those who donate and , as a group, are incredibly grateful.

Young Devon has appointed Oliver Bowers to be the Ivybridge youth worker on duty on Friday evenings in Ivybridge from 9th September, mostly based at the Leisure Centre as part of the Youth Leisure Nights.

We are delighted that funding has been found and hope that if successful, the youth support in Ivybridge can be increased.

Ivybridge Youth Leisure Nights recommence on the 9th with gymnastics, swimming, badminton and Xbox, so come along and join in the programme of activities; maybe you could be the next Max Whitlock or Adam Peaty?

IVYBRIDGE WALKING CLUB CELEBRATES 10 YEARS

TRADITIONAL PANTO Following the success of its summer comedy production, Ivybridge Theatre Company is by no means resting on its laurels.

Indeed, plans are well advanced in preparation for their annual pantomime. The experienced production team have returned to a traditional family favourite in choosing Cinderella and the cast is already in place.

Albeit a traditional panto, it’s been given a modern facelift, embracing topical themes and modern personalities. But don’t fret, there will still be the things children (old and young alike) love – the messy slapstick, the jokes about famous people, songs we know and the opportunity for everyone to participate.

So, it is probably best that you book the February half-term 2017 dates in your diary now as you don’t want to miss it, do you? Oh no you don’t!

DAY OFF TO A TEE The postponed Ivybridge Probus Club golf day finally took place at Wrangaton GC on 22nd July. The group, comprising both golfers and walkers, enjoyed the traditional bacon bap and coffee before teeing off in glorious weather.

About two hours later, the party assembled at the final hole to welcome in the final three players.

Although the whole event is played ‘for fun’, scores were kept and the best three were: 1st Peter Fielding; 2nd - Steve Woodcock; and 3rd Clive Hunter.

At the club’s monthly lunch, officiated by Vice President Mike Fletcher in the absence of the President, business included the organisation of a quiz evening and the possible visit to the World War II Museum at Davidstow in Cornwall.

Children at Woodlands Park Primary School who made beautiful cards during their lunch time to celebrate the Queen’s 90th Birthday were delighted to receive a thank you letter from Buckingham Palace.

The pupils were all very excited to hear that The Queen appreciated their thoughtfulness in sending the cards.

Year 3 children at Stowford School rounded off their Roman topic by treating the Year 5 classes to a trip to the theatre.

As part of their topic they had investigated what the Romans liked to do for entertainment. They then worked in groups to adapt a Roman myth and create a play based on it. From preparing the script and casting, to stage directions and props, the children worked on their performances

before presenting a one-off performance in their specially-constructed Roman Theatre.

“It was a lovely way to end the year,” said Year 3 teacher Brad Farnham. “They prepared their own dramatic performances without any help from the teachers, although they did support each other with advice. Despite some nerves, the final performances were a real success and much enjoyed by their older peers!”

WHAT’S ON TUESDAY 30th August

Community Champion at Tesco Lee Mill Extra Kim TaylorLewis reports on how Tesco has been supporting the local community recently.

Tesco went along to its annual football tournament with fruit kebabs, which were sold for donations and raised another £108.00 for the club.

Top tech toys

Food for feline friends We donated nine boxes of cat food to Gables Cats and Dogs Home after seeing a Facebook post asking for cat treats.

Woodlands Park Primary School held a design and technology project and teacher Kerry Pantoll approached Tesco about donating prizes. Each year group was given the task of making a toy with a moving part for a reception aged child. The children took part in action research, exploring existing toys before designing and creating their own toy over four days.

It was incredibly hard to choose winners as all the projects were fantastic. Kim is pictured above with the winners (l-r): Sophie Haymes (foundation stage), Finley Manton (Year 4), Aaron Gabbey (Year 6), Robert Gabbey (year 1/2), Daniel Gibson (Year 5), Jayden Osbourne (Year 3/4), and Millie Lowe (Foundation stage). Abby Woodford is not in the picture but she also won for year 1/2.

Fruity for football After Ivybridge Town FC raised £688.60 bag packing in store,

Customer community project St Luke’s Hospice was the winner of our customer community project last month. We raised £325.80, which we will be presenting to them soon.

Food bank Thank you for helping us provide food for people in need this summer. At the end of June, we had collected 147 trays for the local food bank and Tesco will top up all collections by 20%. Nationwide, our June collection provided 2.8 million meals .

Half of the money raised goes to support the vital work these charities do, with the remaining 50% will be used to inspire people to make better choices. Find out more at lets-dothis.org.uk

Our latest fundraiser had Rio de Tesco as the theme, with beach fancy dress. There was a great Rio bake off, with lots of yummy cakes to sell, we sold fruit pots for donations and managers spent the day in the stocks; ice buckets proved more popular than sponges! In total, the day raised £366.11.

Alfie Moore: The Naked Stun Following a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and a successful UK tour, Alfie brings this critically-acclaimed show to The Watermark on Saturday, 10 September.

The former police sergeant turned stand up comedian and star of his own hit BBC Radio 4 show It’s a Fair Cop, tasers his way through an evening of hilarious and fascinating anecdotes drawn from his 18 years on the beat.

The Naked Stun is based on the true story of his dogged determination to track down a ‘serial flasher’ and Alfie describes life at the front-line of the force with incredible wit and charm. The fastpaced plot twists

and turns, exposing a hilariously strange and seedy side of his crime investigation.

A truly charismatic performer, this show will have you in stitches and is certainly not one to be missed.

Alfie’s TV credits include Comic Relief, Show Me The Funny and he has also supported Rhod Gilbert, Sarah Millican, Russell Kane and Milton Jones. Tickets on sale now.

Charlotte Green’s News Is Read Charlotte Green (inset) has one of the most iconic radio voices of her generation. After 25 years as a BBC Radio 4 newsreader, she now presents Charlotte Green’s Culture Club for Classic FM and reads the classified football results on BBC Radio 5Live.

Her voice is described as smooth and velvety, authoritative, distinctive and clear.

Drawing on her autobiography The News is Read, she recounts aspects of her life, on and offair, offering a fascinating look behind the scenes of radio. See her at The

Watermark on 24 September.

Tickets £15.

Christmas already!

Tables are already getting booked for The Watermark Christmas Funktion with Louise Parker and the Funkatronic Four taking place on Saturday, 10 December.

Autumn warmers Coming soon to the Coffee Shop in The Watermark is a new range of hot specials to welcome in the autumnal weather! Starting in October they will be doing regular Wednesday lunchtime specials, look out for the specials board!

Money matters

If you run your business through a limited company, or are considering forming a company, then you need to know about recent changes to taxation of dividends.

A very common route for extracting tax efficient money from your company is to draw a small salary, attracting no tax, and pay any further remuneration by dividend.

As long as your salary plus dividends remained below £43,000 then the dividends

would not attract any further tax, meaning up to £43,000 extracted from the company tax free! This has been very standard tax planning for many years and has proved very popular. As such, it was only a matter of time before changes were made by government.

Changes, with effect from 6th April 2016, now mean that any dividends above £5,000 per year attract tax at 7.5% and if you go over £43,000 of total income then they are taxed at 32.5%, so not quite as appealing as it once was.

The effect of these changes means that company owners may lose any tax advantages over a similar-sized sole trade

Another opening night PREMIERE comes to Ivybridge On Friday, 2 September, at 7.30pm come and see Chick Lit starring Eileen Atkins, Niamh Cusack, John Hurt, Miles Jupp & Cathy Tyson.

business, so whether or not to use a company needs slightly more thought than before. In fact, a few of my clients are choosing to revert back to sole trader status.

If you are running your own company, keep an eye on your PAYE coding notices issued by HMRC as it has become commonplace to tax you on dividends you haven’t had yet through your tax code. Don’t be afraid to call them and have the estimated dividend tax removed.

There are of course other things to consider, not just tax, so if you want to find out more or are unsure if a company is right for you, then please feel free to get in touch.

South Hams District Council, along with West Devon Borough and Plymouth City councils, is working on a new sports and leisure facilities plan and want to hear from people about what they need to keep them active.

The three councils want to know what sports sites sports fans are using, what’s good, what’s not and how facilities can be improved.

well LOVE YOUR HEART – START LIVING A HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE

BY CLAIRE MORGAN-HUGHES Devon Fit Camp

Thursday, 29th September, is World Heart Day and the World Heart Federation is asking everybody to pay attention to their hearts and start living healthier lifestyles.

We have come up with FIVE quick wins that you can introduce TODAY to help you avoid this killer disease.

Cardiovascular diseases [CVDs] are the world’s biggest killer, causing over 17 million deaths a year and many of these deaths are preventable through lifestyle changes.

During World Heart Day we are calling on people everywhere to focus on their health and work together to help prevent them becoming another fatality statistic.

Most people know someone or have themselves been directly affected by heart disease and the saddest part is a lot of times it is avoidable by changing habits.

Simple changes in diet, by reducing your salt intake and eliminating processed foods from your diet, and trying to get a couple of hours of exercise a day can make a huge difference.

A healthy diet reduces the risk of coronary heart disease and prevents weight gain which puts pressure on your heart. The introduction of a healthy diet also helps to prevent further worsening of existing heart disease, so it’s not too late to start eating healthily.

To help prevent heart disease we’ve has come up with five strategies to change your lifestyle and take better care of your heart.

Mediterranean diet A 2013 study showed the Mediterranean diet reduces the risk of coronary heart disease by 20

The Ivybridge magazine

30% and prevents weight gain which puts pressure on your heart. The diet also helps to prevent further worsening of existing heart disease, so it’s NEVER too late to start eating healthily.

Reduce salt Too much salt can cause high blood pressure, which increases the risk of developing coronary heart disease. Check the salt content of any pre-packaged food you buy.

No processed foods There are lots of hidden saturated fats, sugars and salts in processed food, fast food, and ready meals. I would strongly advise you to check the content of the ingredients of any food you buy and start cooking from scratch together.

Quit smoking Smokers are twice as likely as nonsmokers to have heart disease. With all the health issues it causes, stopping smoking is the most important thing you can do for your heart.

Join a Fit Camp!

The heart is the most important muscle and just a small amount of intense exercise will keep it functioning properly. Workouts of as little as ten minutes a day can make a huge difference.

Now the holidays are drawing to an end, take the time to consider your heart health and your fitness. It’s a great time of the year to get moving again and focus on your health and fitness goals before winter sets in.

We’d love to chat with you about how to get started – don’t worry you don’t have to be fit or in shape to get started – that’s why we’re here!

By Stephen Smith, Solicitor at Howard & Over

While there are people that thrive on conflict, most people do not enjoy falling out with others. However, disputes are a part of life. Whether in relation to defective goods or poorly performed services, a physical injury which has been caused by negligence, or a falling out with one’s partner, potential conflict situations arise in life. Disputes can be expensive in terms of financial cost and emotional capital. Here are a few suggestions for limiting the damage from disputes:

confirming who has responsibility for the costs of maintaining the boundary fence or wall, and then seeking written agreement with the neighbour in advance prior to constructing structures on or near a boundary.

Dealing with issues early

Prevention is better than cure

If an issue has arisen it is very tempting to try and ignore it and hope it goes away. However, issues that are not dealt with early tend to fester. For example, in construction the cost of putting right any defective work at an early stage will usually be cheaper than the cost of hiring someone else to carry out the work and then pursuing the original contractor for the additional costs.

Many disputes arise out of a lack of thought for the impact of our actions.

Boundary issues, for example, are a common source of disputes between neighbours. Failing to maintain a boundary wall or fence, moving a boundary or carrying out building work right on or encroaching over a boundary could all lead to potential conflict. This could often be avoided by obtaining professional advice in the first instance, confirming the exact location of the boundary,

There are alternative ways of resolving disputes other than taking someone to court, such as mediation, which is like an assisted negotiation.

At Howard & Over Solicitors, we specialise in advising upon a range of issues relating to land and property, building and design work, personal injury and family and relationships.

We also have experience of a range of different forms of dispute resolution.

THE LEVELS OF CARE OUTLINED The Care Act 2014, in setting out the rights of those requiring assessment for care and support and their carers, has led many to believe after discharge from hospital all care becomes the responsibility of local authorities, not the NHS. Whether or not it was the intention of Parliament to create that confusion is debatable, but, just as the cradle to grave concept of health care free at the point of delivery has been allowed to persist since 1948, so now is the belief that local authorities are responsible for all health care outside of hospital. That belief is not true!

There are three basic levels of health care available.

One, provided by or funded by the NHS, is called “continuing health care” [CHC] which can be delivered in a hospital, nursing home, care home or an individual’s own home. This care is free.

The second is social care, which is arranged or provided by social services. This is means tested and if a person has assets (savR and property) in excess of ings £23,250 in England that care must

be paid for from those assets, but only in certain circumstances.

Slightly different amounts apply in Scotland and Wales.

The third is an integrated “package of care” provided by the NHS, social services and individual contributions. This package of care happens when the NHS refuse to provide free continuing health care, but agree an element of nursing care beyond the legal

“The belief that local authorities are responsible for all health care outside of hospital... is not true” limits of social services to provide is required. In England, £156.25 per week is paid by the NHS to the care home to purchase the services of a registered nurse.

The full care home fees will be funded by the individual from income and assets and social services, subject to a “means test”.

Please bear in mind, if a persons’

health issues do not initially qualify that person for continuing health care, paid to provide nursing care in a nursing home, as their health deteriorates they may qualify for NHS-funded nursing care, then at a later stage full continuing health care, with the full cost of that care and accommodation paid by the NHS. If a person to be assessed by the NHS in hospital or by social services at their own home or a care/nursing home does not have capacity, only a registered attorney [or deputy] for health and welfare can request assessment or challenge an existing assessment decision.

Without Lasting Powers of attorney in place a person may be forced into accepting a lower level of care than his or her needs dictate, then having to pay for that care, which had NHS continuing health care been awarded would have been paid in full by the NHS. Written by Bob Evans of Who Pays 4 Care. For further information contact Richardsons Legal Services on 0800 014 8031.

FREE HOME FIRE SAFETY CHECKS Anyone concerned about the safety of their home from fire can request a free home fire safety check from Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service.

People may also arrange visits on behalf of neighbours, or relatives they care for, with their permission.

Area manager Neil Blackburn, of DSFRS said: “No one should be worried about calling us for help or on behalf of a person they know or care for.

“We can arrange to visit people’s homes to give advice that will help make them safer, including the fitting of smoke alarms free of charge.

“If we don’t know where [vulnerable] people are or their circumstances, we can’t help them. That’s why we’re asking for the public’s help. If you’re worried about a family member, friend or neighbour, ask if you can call us and we will be pleased to help.”

As you may already know, Rangers spend a large proportion of their time managing public rights of way and access on Dartmoor. Currently, works are underway to renew the way marker posts that denote the linear bridleway that runs over Hanger Down.

When looking at the Ordnance Survey map, this route is marked with a dashed green line – whereas a footpath would be a dotted green line. You will also notice that the area is covered in a ‘yellow wash’ that denotes public area access – but what type? We are very fortunate on Dartmoor to have over 47,000 hectares of public area access.

There are different types of area access with different rights that apply to them.

Firstly, Common land was originally designated in 1985 and illustrated the historic rights that local farms had, including stock grazing and the right to local resources from the nearby common. Under the Commons Act, the provision of open access on foot and on horseback also meant that the public had access over these commons, subject to the associated byelaws, creating 35,200 hectares of open access. Byelaws include lots of information and common sense restrictions concerning items such as vehicles, parking, camping, water, fires, dogs and protection of wildlife. For more details on the byelaws see www.dartmoor.gov.uk.

Secondly, in addition to common land, other areas that were not designated as common may have access agreements over them – between the National Park Authority and the landowner to secure public access. Hanger Down is one such example where the yellow wash shows the access, but it is not common land. This means that on Hanger Down you have area access to the down on foot, but if you were on a horse or bike you need to follow the Bridleway – hence the importance of the way-marking. Our byelaws also apply to most access agreement areas.

Thirdly, there was a national act passed in 2000, The Countryside and Rights of Way Act, which designated mountain, moor, heath and down as ‘open country’ (commonly described as the right to roam or CRoW Act) with additional parcels of land becoming open access by 2005.

This act did not have a huge impact on Dartmoor as much of the moor was already common land. It did, however, add to open area access in certain places – which are marked with the open country logo. Within this open country you are able to access the land on foot – and again on the OS map it is covered in a yellow wash.

If you are interested in finding out more about what type of access is available, you can look it up on our website. We also run navigation courses which explain in more detail different land designations.

As you can now appreciate, access rights are not always the same, so please take the time to acknowledge and adhere to local signs and the National Park byelaws.

If you are interested in finding out more about the Ranger service first hand, or think you may need their help please, contact them on: Ella – 07711104546 / ebriens@dartmoor.gov.uk Andrea – 07720509270 / aroberts@dartmoor.gov.uk

AEGEAN WINS OPEN WATER TITLES

Success for Harriers

A 14-year-old Ivybridge swimmer is celebrating after winning the Devon Junior Female Open Water title at Torquay.

Aegean Bramley (right), who swims for Dinnaton SC, won the title at the event held at Oddicombe Beach. As an ASA open water event, participants compete without a wet suit and have to adapt to the changeable conditions of the venue.

Under the guidance of head coach Matthew Henry, Aegean’s open water swimming has gone from strength-to-strength since competing at the ASA South West Open Water Championships at Weymouth in June.

Aegean won Silver in the girls 15 Year Old Category in the choppy waters of Weymouth bay, and in doing so, the Ivybridge Community College student gained qualification for the ASA National Open Water ChampiB onships in Sheffield.

Erme Valley Harriers’ athletes have travelled ‘far and wide’ in recent weeks and enjoyed considerable success.

Neil Holmes again excelled at the Haytor Heller on Dartmoor, one of his favourite races, finishing 8th overall and 1st mv50.

Emma Lake also did well, coming home 1st fv40.

Sarah Hirons and Jo Edwards tackled the ‘Race to the Stones’, a 100km race along the Ridgeway in the Chilterns, finishing next to the stone circles at Avebury. Hirons (10 hrs 59 mins) was 3rd lady, whilst Edwards (11 hrs 10 mins) was 4th lady. Hirons was 26th overall and Edwards 30th overall in a race where there were some 950 finishers.

A club trip to Frome saw Harriers compete in all three races, the 5k, 10k and half marathon.

In the 5k, Owen Parkin (16.55) had a great run to win the race, while Joe Perry was 7th (18.30).

At the Nationals, over a three kilometre course, Aegean found herself moving up through the field on each of the laps, finishing 15th in one of the largest and most competitive fields of the day. She was also the best of the South West girls.

In the week following Nationals, Aegean won Dinnaton SC’s first Junior Girls Open Water title.

Competing against girls up to the age of 16, Aegean distanced herself from her rivals to win by over a minute.

Andy Trigg was 6th overall and 1st mv50 in the half. Trigg was also 1st mv50 in the ‘King of the Hill’ challenge. Also in the half, Ken Summers set a new vet 65-69 age record with a time of 1.45.25.

At the Exeter 10K, Mike Miners (38.09) was the first Harrier home. Tony Doonan (55.30) was 3rd mv70.

The Harriers’ had a good turnout at the Cornwood 10k, with Matt Brown the first Harrier home in 6th place and closely followed by Andrew Perry who was 7th. Perry was also 1st mv45. Young athlete Sam Yearling won the Fun Run. Yearling also did well at the Run Exe Summer 5k Series finishing 1st U15, with Jo Edwards 1st fv50. î ermevalleyharriers.co.uk
