Bedfordshire Walking Festival This September sees the 10th anniversary of what has become an annual and increasingly popular event, The Bedfordshire Walking Festival. From humble beginnings in 2009 the festival has grown and grown as more and more people are walking for leisure and fitness. Despite council cutbacks the urban and countryside paths are still generally well maintained and being used more often. For some, the benefit of joining a walk enables them to explore of new places and new paths, whilst for others it is the socialising. Whatever the reason there is a good walk everyday in and around Bedford and not far from your door. Over the nine days from 7th to 15th September, there is a range of walks from one hour to nine hours duration, plus a range of informative walks of around 2-3 hours. Most walks are free and no booking is required. See programme for details. The festival starts on Saturday 7th with three walks over the day starting from the Heritage centre Bedford Street Woburn and all have a theme of 10. "The Ten Ten" informative walk starts at 10to10 followed at 11-00 by a ten mile 10 woods, heaths and copses walk and in the afternoon a 10k circular. On the last day of the festival and also from Woburn an informative walk for the world war two enthusiasts entitled "Ten Shun" starts from the car park in Woburn. On Sunday 8th just along the road in Leighton Buzzard a10k family walk includes a ride on the Leighton Buzzard Narrow Gauge railway whilst for those who like mystery walks meet Julian at the Library car park at 9-30. On Tuesday morning go to Rushmere for the intriguingly entitled "The Return of the Purple" or on Thursday join Mike outside Oxfam at the bottom of Leighton Buzzard High Street for a linear bus walk to Stanbridge and say "Goodbye Green Belt" as you make your way back via Eggington and Tilsworth. Do you fancy a challenge ? The weekend of 14th &15th sees the two day 40 mile Greensand Ridge Path Challenge starting at Leighton Buzzard on Saturday. If you can't come for both days why not come for one? The Luton & Dunstable areas are well represented starting on Saturday morning with an informative two hour walk around Studham Common. Sunday 8th starts with a 12 mile linear

58 www.thevinedirectory.co.uk 6

walk along the Icknield way, one of Britain's oldest routes, from Toddington to Hexton via Lilley however if you prefer something shorter go to Dunstable Downs Visitor Centre for a 6.5 mile ramble starting at 10-00 or the Bushmead Hub Luton for an informative walk entitled "Five Farm Foray" . On Monday a leisurely 2.5 hour ramble starts at 10-00 from Lancaster Avenue Sports Ground car park. On Thursday join walkers at Luton Travel Hub opposite the station and take a ride along the guided bus way followed by a a walk over Blows Downs to Caddington and back via Stockwood discovery centre or Join Toddington rambling club in the village hall car park at 9-30 for an 8 mile circular which stops off for lunch in Eversholt. Heard of Houghton Hall in Houghton Regis but never visited the park then find a couple of hours on Saturday afternoon 14th to join an informative ramble and find out about the restored Kitchen and Formal gardens and more. Further afield in the east & central areas there is a full day walk from Sandy Railway station on Saturday 7th and walks from Shuttleworth on Monday and Tuesday and on the last Sunday three walks from Ampthill park and an informative walk from Stotfold Mill entitled "The Mills of the Etonbury Greenwheel" In the north of the county there are some sixteen walks of varying lengths and types over the nine day festival including an opportunity to take a short ride in the new rolling stock on the Marston Vale line before enjoying an interesting and varied walk back to Bedford or Take a one way trip on the John Bunyan boat followed by an informative walk on the many bridges of Bedford as you return to the start. If Friday 13th fills you with apprehension join Roy on his Linear walk from Haynes to Bedford entitled "Scared of John Bunyan" and if that is not enough come to the Bedford cemetery on Sunday afternoon 15th at 1-30pm for an informative ramble entitled "Who do you think they were" For those who are baffled by maps, confused by compasses, daunted by digital devices why not join a one day course on Sunday 8th at Maulden Village Hall. Cost ÂŁ10 booking via web site. For full details of the walks visit www.bedswalkfest.co.uk contact Organiser@bedswalkfest.co.uk or pick up a programme.

Wildlife Artworks Mark Local Cycle Routes In Luton Central Bedfordshire Council, with the support of Sustrans, has installed two attractive bespoke pieces of artwork on national cycling routes in locations close Luton Airport and Dunstable. The artwork is made from laser-cut steel, and has been designed to highlight the routes and provide attractive and prominent formal entrances which will encourage more walkers and cyclists to use the routes. In creating the unique designs, the artist, Stephen Pardue from interpretation specialists Differentia, took inspiration from local landscapes, wildlife and the history of the sites. The Upper Lea Valley Way route artwork is alongside Sustrans National Cycle Route 6, close to Luton Parkway Station and airport. The gateway has been designed to encourage more people to use the cycle route, and make it more visible. 58 www.thevinedirectory.co.uk 8

The project, funded through Central Bedfordshire Council’s lottery grant in partnership with Luton Borough Council, is the last element of the LutonHarpenden cycleway project. The Totternhoe Green Lanes artwork is close to Dunstable on Sustrans National Cycle Route 574, at the start of the green lanes on Tring Road. These ancient green lanes allow residents fantastic access to the local countryside. The gateway is designed to attract and welcome residents, while also discouraging vehicles from parking across the path entrance. Councillor Kevin Collins, Executive Member for Planning and Regeneration at Central Bedfordshire Council, said: “The finished pieces are unique and attractive, and feature the wildlife and history of the area. They are designed to encourage the public to use these fantastic cycle routes, and enjoy the beautiful rural scenery that Central Bedfordshire has to offer.” For more information on the National Cycle Network, visit: www.sustrans.org.uk.

Get Your Tits Out For The Babes New campaign urges support for mums who breastfeed in public A new awareness campaign is aiming to help mums become more confident when breastfeeding in public. The Luton and Bedfordshire #FreeToFeed campaign is being launched by NHS community services and local authorities. Businesses, members of the public and other mums are being encouraged to raise awareness of the importance of breastfeeding and to help new mums feel comfortable feeding their children when out and about.

The campaign is building on a strong base. After surveying more than 350 local mothers, they found that 55% said they felt extremely or very confident breastfeeding out and about, while 32% were somewhat confident and 13% were not confident or not at all confident.

In Theen Gard Going On Holiday?

WHAT ABOUT THE GARDEN? You may have packed your suitcases and sorted out your flight tickets in preparation for your two-week summer holiday - but what about the garden? So many gardeners see all their work go to pot when they are away from home in the summer, as containers dry out, lawns go brown and many plants run to seed in their absence. However, there are ways to minimise the suffering your plants endure if you are away during a prolonged spell of warm, dry weather, so that you can return home to a garden which doesn't look like it's been in a fullscale drought. Your first port of call is your neighbours and family. Ask if they can water your plants while you're away and harvest crops such as tomatoes and green beans before they go over, keeping what they want for themselves. Cluster your patio pots together in a sheltered, shady place that is open to the rain, feeding and watering them thoroughly just before leaving. Hav-

ing them close together will make watering easier, if you have someone to do it for you, and will help conserve moisture if you don't. If you don't have anyone to water your containers, take down hanging baskets and sit them directly into a depression in the soil surface in a cool, shady spot and drench them with water so the soil underneath is also wet. If you don't have an automatic watering system, use an upturned bottle full of water set into the container, which should release the water as the soil dries. Alternatively, invest in some strips of capillary matting tucked into the compost at one end and a bucket of water at the other, which should provide enough moisture for the fortnight you're away. Before you go, remove all the blooms from your containers, not just the faded ones. This should conserve the plants' energy and hopefully will mean that new blooms will have emerged by the time you return home.

www.thevinemagazine.co.uk 58 18 www.thevinedirectory.co.uk www.thevinemagazine.co.uk 18 18

Don't worry about your lawn. You can choose to leave it long, to conserve moisture and protect the roots. Don't feed it to encourage it to grow fast while you're away. If it has gone the colour of straw on your return, don't worry because it will pick up again in autumn when the rain comes. Well-established plants in borders shouldn't suffer too much, as their roots will be deep enough to find some moisture in the soil. Fruit shouldn't suffer if you're away in August, as soft fruit will have been picked before you go and apples and pears won't be ready for harvesting until autumn. Give veg a really good soaking before you go, pick as much as you can just before you leave, blanching and freezing what you can't use, or give it to a kindly neighbour who may return the favour with a bit of watering in your absence. If you do rely on your friends and neighbours to do the watering for you while you're away, make sure you bring them back a present and always offer to return the favour.

Matisse Style Fruit & Bowl

It’s fun and exciting to experiment with line and colour. Henri Matisse’s work is based on flat colour, bold black outlines and motifs. I used a black permanent felt tip pen (make sure it is not water soluble as it will bleed) but you will need water soluble coloured felt tip pens. Draw the image in pencil keeping your pencil on the paper and draw freely allowing the lines to cross over each other. Let the lines swirl across the paper and go back on themselves all in one go. Go over it in black permanent felt tip pen. Vary the thickness of your lines. Get your coloured felt tip pens and use them like watercolours (red, green, blue, yellow) and black to create grey. On scrap paper make a mark in one colour and rub a wet paint brush over the top of it & mix. You will get a watercolour paint and use this to paint small patches of colours onto your apples and bowl. Use your colours on your scrap paper to create a paint palette, making new marks with different colours, and add more water. Once you have painted some marks on your apples let it dry before you apply another colour so you can see some layers. Have fun! #TheVineMagArtCourse Lorna runs an adult art course @ Whipsnade. The new term begins September 11th. For more information email drmooresartcourse@gmail.com fb Dr Lorna Moore’s Creative Art Course or call 078 9661 9660

Tennyson Road Entrance

Houghton Hall Park Wednesday 3 August

Catch the Milky Way on a moonless night: The last week of August and the last week of September this year sees no moon in the evening sky, and so are the best times to catch the summer Milky Way from the Chiltern Hills. Head to a spot with open views of the sky away from town lights and let your eyes adjust to the dark. High overhead you’ll see a pale grey speckled band, which is the aggregated starlight from some of the 300 billion stars that make up our home galaxy.
