EDITORIAL

With news of the extension to the lockdown regulations I’m very grateful for the fact that as I write this it is a roasting hot summer’s day which perhaps make Headley feel more like a holiday destination than plain old home. We can all take heed of Helen’s advice on page 2 and take time to relax and ponder life. Once all restrictions are lifted I think it will not be long until we are all rushing around again like headless chickens wishing for more time.

I’m reaching the end of the compilation of the new advertising pages which start in September, but there is still time to get in touch at adverts@allsaintsheadley.plus.com if you have a service you would like to offer to the community

News from All Saints Parish Church

Dost thou love Life? then do not squander Time; for that’s the stuff Life is made of. (Benjamin Franklin)

I found myself this morning sitting at the breakfast table, looking at the fabulous property adverts in some old Country Life magazines, and realising that I had spent half an hour admiring the expensive homes and gardens – despite the fact that there were any number of things I should have been urgently getting on with.

It’s so easy to waste time – at least, so easy to think that we are wasting it. Time is a precious commodity, and one that is so easy to lose. Once a moment has passed, we can never recover it. And as time goes on, it seems to run faster and faster … We become more and more desperate about the present moment. We mustn’t waste time! We feel we must keep busy. Rather than lose a moment of this precious time, we drive ourselves faster and faster in the hope of being in control of it.

The irony is that this is precisely how we lose time. The best way to appreciate it is to savour it – to take time to do nothing. Unless we are monks or nuns, of course, we are probably not very good at this. We need some activity, or ‘pastime’ to allow us to appreciate the time that we have.

It’s summertime, and the living is easy, says George Gershwin.

Due to the continuing covid restrictions, the majority of us may not be going anywhere very exciting for our summer holiday again this year. Let’s use the summer, when there should be less pressure on us, to take time to appreciate time. God gave us time, and he gave us also a wonderful world to appreciate. It delights God when we use time to delight in the world – whether through music, art, walks in the country – or even just reading a magazine – and we mustn’t feel bad about it!

This anonymous poem sums it up

Take Time to THINK ... It is the source of power. Take Time to PLAY ... It is the secret of staying young. Take Time to READ ... It is the fountain of wisdom. Take Time to PRAY ... It is the greatest power on earth. Take Time to be AWARE … It is the opportunity to help others Take Time to LOVE and BE LOVED ... It is God’s greatest gift. Take Time to BE FRIENDLY ... It is the road to happiness. Take Time to LAUGH ... It is the music of the soul. Take Time for BEAUTY … It is everywhere in nature. Take Time to GIVE ... It is too short a day to be selfish. Take Time to WORK ... It is the price of success. Take Time for HEALTH … It is the true treasure of life. Take time to DREAM … It is the what the future is made of …

Have a good summer. With love and prayers,

St Francis Community Church News

www.StFrancisHeadleyDown.com for all on-line services The Church in HD

We have paraphrased and adapted a devotional written by Andy Elmes in his book “Breakfast of Champions”, published by New Wine Press, to explore the importance of commitment to a local church fellowship.

“Those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; they shall be fresh and

flourishing” (Psalm 92:13-14, NKJV)

The local church is ‘the house of the Lord’, and God loves His Church. When you commit to let your life be planted in it, you set yourself up to get blessed and to flourish. Being planted means you are not casually popping in anymore but instead unpacking your cases and calling it home.

In these verses, God uses gardening terminology to help us to see how He desires for us to relate to His house, the local church. Any gardener will tell you it is when a plant is un-potted and bedded into the soil of the flowerbed that it can begin to draw on the nutrients that the soil has to give. If you casually rest a potted plant in its pot on a flowerbed it cannot benefit from all the goodness the soil has for it.

It is the same with how we relate to His house. We need to get planted in so that our roots can go down and spread out to draw on the goodness of the ground. Otherwise, we do not benefit from the promise of a flourishing life.

Great promises for ‘The Planted’: • Your life shall continue to bear fruit and ‘be highly productive’, even

into old age. • Your life will remain fresh, vibrant and flourishing, while others who

don’t, fade away.

The local church is and will always be God’s divine flowerbed. Find a life-filled local church and plant yourself into it and you will see incredible growth in every area of your life. Plant your family into it and watch godly vibrancy and flourishing break out in them.

7

Remember, a life-filled local church remains God’s master plan for changing the world and it is the only thing He committed to build on the earth (Matthew 16:18).

JUNIOR CHURCH Junior Church has started again and all in Primary School age range are welcome.

Cover Story

This month’s cover shows two different parts of Headley.

Upper pictures: The Wheatsheaf Inn in Arford, demolished in 2001, and its replacement in 2002 with a small development of houses.

The Wheatsheaf was built on “Eade’s Garden”, shown as a rectangular garden area with two buildings in it on a map dated 1806, owned by William Eade who was a stone mason. It is assumed that this was his stonemason’s yard, and there is a anecdotal evidence to suggest that a replacement for the Sailor’s Stone on Hindhead was made here after the original had been moved in 1826.

When Fleetwood Mac lived in Benifold they used the Wheatsheaf as their local, as remembered by people still living in Headley.

Lower pictures: Liphook Road, looking south from the village green. From the older picture on the right we see that it was once known as Grange Lane, presumably as it goes past Headley Grange. Where the sheep were coming from and going to is anybody’s guess. The Grange was so named in 1872, having previously been the workhouse.

Mobile Bank & Post Office

The following mobile services visit One Stop in Headley Down A mobile Post Office visits three times a week as follows:

• Tuesday 9am–11.30am • Wednesday 3pm–4pm • Thursday 3pm–4pm

Note that the PO van travels here from the New Forest area, so can sometimes be delayed by traffic.

The NatWest mobile bank is currently not operating in Headley – Check Natwest website for further details

Volunteers Needed for the Vaccine Roll out The vaccination programme continues at Forest Surgery and younger and younger people are being invited to take up the vaccine. It is extremely important for everyone to take up the invitation so that we can all feel safe and get back to normal.

We need volunteer marshals in the car park to relieve the PPG and Lions Club who have being doing this job since before Christmas. I know they have been enjoying chatting to people and making them feel less anxious as they direct them to the needle. They feel good that they are doing something to help.

Could you help out, even for a short time, every now and again, or longer if you like? Perhaps you are on holiday from college or university or have some time to spare for other reasons. Job satisfaction guaranteed, I’m told.

Please contact 07794 228565 for more information.

Arford WI

Most villages publish a monthly local magazine and Headley is no exception. Thanks must go to our editors, Christine and Jo, and to the volunteers who deliver all around the village.

Recently the cover has shown “Then and Now” Headley scenes, depicted by vintage post cards and recent photos. Several years ago, whilst at a local market, I came across a stall selling old post cards, discovered ones of Headley, and started my collection.

I visited antique fairs and markets and was surprised at the number of cards that had been printed in the early 1900s, many by Mr E. Kennett a local watchmaker, jeweller and photographer, especially as the population of Headley was much smaller than now. I always had to check that they were of the Hampshire Headley and not Berkshire or Surrey. After a few years I had difficulty in finding cards that I had not already purchased. Whilst I know that there are some I was unable to find, with a collection of over a hundred I have stopped, but still enjoy comparing views of Headley past with the present day.

The Women’s Institute is a stalwart group which has thrived for over a hundred years. Arford WI is part of this organisation. Throughout this recent pandemic, members have been able to keep in touch and with the hope of lockdown being unlocked in the near future, we look forward to resuming life as near normal as it can be.

Did You Know? … An old WW1 Army hut was erected in 1919 on land adjacent to the Village Green, and once housed the Headley Working Men's Club. The hut burnt down in mysterious circumstances in the 1950s, and was never replaced.

The Holme Church of England Primary School

The trip to Marwell Zoo was most enjoyable, with everyone having a fantastic time and learning a lot from the experience. A big thank you to all those involved in making it such a success. In order to keep things as normal as possible this term, further school trips have

been arranged and a Sports Day. The visit from the cricket coach was also an exciting day, and even though

there was a bit of rain, it didn’t stop play, and all had an amazing experience. Another visitor was the school photographer who commented on how

incredibly smart all the children looked in their uniform, and how fantas-tically well behaved they all were.

We say goodbye to Year 6 with a leavers service in the Church at the end of term. It has been a challenging couple of years for them, especially last year, and we wish them well in their future as they move on to their new schools.

The school would like to thank everyone for their support, understanding and flexibility in general over COVID restrictions. As a school they would really like to get back to normal as soon possible and invite parents back on site for events but, until Government guidelines for schools change, the school’s risk-assessments and procedures remain the same.

Teachers, staff and children look forward to their summer holidays at the end of July, returning to a fresh start at school in September.

Did You Know? … The majority of Headley parish has for centuries been in a detached portion of Bishops Sutton Manor. Hence it had no resident Lord of the Manor. It also makes it substantially more difficult to find historical manorial documents for Headley, as these are mixed up with those of the ‘real’ Bishops Sutton in the county archives.

Headley Village Hall Charity No 235455

After the Government’s announcement moving ‘Liberation Day’ on by at least 4 weeks, we shall have to abide by Covid rules a while longer than

we had hoped. As we go to press, the date for restrictions to be removed is 19th July, and we’ll all keep our fingers crossed that it happens this time.

However, sadly the Theatre Club have had to postpone their planned re-opening show until later in the year.

In the meantime, we’ll keep you informed of the on-going situation on our website and noticeboard, and hope to welcome you back to the Hall before too long.

Liphook & District Ramblers

With the beautiful weather, Liphook Ramblers have enjoyed some great walks in June. These included an 8-miler starting at Headley Village Hall, through Beech Hill Woods to Ludshott Common. We stopped in Bramshott to admire the lovely new wooden bench on the triangle by the church and for a coffee stop. The return journey took us to Bramshott Vale and on to Conford and Waterside where we followed the River Wey as far as Standford. 15 members took part and enjoyed a cup of tea and piece of cake afterwards in the leader’s garden.

The summer programme, which covers July to September, is currently being compiled and when ready, will be published on the web site, www.liphookramblers.wordpress.com. If you would like more details, visit the website or email liphookramblers@gmail.com.

All Liphook Ramblers walks follow Coronavirus guidelines for group walks which are issued by the national association for walking, the Ramblers Association. In line with Coronavirus regulations, it is still essential to book your place on a walk. You can also book your place on a walk by using the above email address.

Headley Walks

Weekly Wednesday walks have been suspended since the start of the pandemic. Now, with easing of Covid restrictions in sight, we would have liked to restart – but another issue has arisen which will prevent it, at least in the short term. See the note below:–

“Walking for Health” is changing its name to “Walking for Wellbeing”. To continue under the new name would require us to undertake further training, together with more responsibilities and increased paperwork.

This we decided was too much. Following much discussion amongst the current walk leaders it was

decided unanimously that we will not continue in that role. Should anyone reading this wish to take on the role of a walk leader,

please contact EHDC at Penns Place, Petersfield. On behalf of Sue, Sylvia, Linda, Jo and myself, we would like to thank

everyone who supported the walks in all weathers. It has been a hard decision to take as all of us have enjoyed meeting up

every Wednesday at 10.30. I have left my telephone number and email address with Tanya in the

Village Hall in case you have any questions regarding this information. Thank you once again.

Beryl Parsons

However, the informal walks on the first Sunday of the month continue, at 11am from Headley Village Hall car park. It will be your responsibility to abide by any current Government guidelines.

The Headley Society Shackleton’s Antarctic

Jeremy Holmes delivered a fascinating zoom talk on Ernest Shackleton on 3rd June. He included many photographs, details on the crew, the stowaway and the cat of HMS Endurance and insights into the still astonishing story of this

attempt to cross the Antarctic from sea to sea in 1914/17. Endurance set sail from Buenos Aries in October 1914 but got stuck in

pack ice in late January 1915 where the crew and 69 dogs remained trapped for 10 months drifting 2,000km. During this time ‘the Boss’ ignored the class system – so officers and men took turns at chores – and Shackleton personally looked after his team throughout the expedition.

In January 1916, the 28 men started hauling 3 very heavily laden lifeboats across the soft, wet snow – but since they only covered 1 mile in the first day it was decided that they should rely on the drifting floes instead. Eventually after 5 months they reached open sea, launched the boats and after six days battling hunger, thirst and freezing waves landed on a narrow beach on Elephant Island. Shackleton knew that there was no chance of being rescued and decided to sail the 720 miles to South Georgia. He took with him Frank Worsley the ship’s captain and 4 others – including two men who might have caused trouble if left behind. The compass broke, there were 50 ft waves, hurricane winds, but Worsley’s amazing navigational skills brought them to South Georgia – but on the uninhabited side!

From there Shackleton and two others crossed uncharted 4,000ft mount-ains and a glacier without tents and climbing gear, with nails pushed into their boots and coiled rope acting as toboggans for the precipitous descent, reaching the whaling station on 20 May 1916. Having rescued his 3 colleagues from the other side of the island, Shackleton set off just 3 days later for Elephant Island. At the fourth attempt they finally reached it on 30 August, where all 22 men were still alive!

“Give me Scott for scientific method, Amundsen for speed and efficiency, but when disaster strikes, pray for Shackleton,” one of his colleagues later said. I don’t know about you, but the story of Shackleton’s outstanding leadership skills throughout this ill-fated journey gives me goose bumps every time I hear it.

On July 1st, at 8pm, Tony Whitbread, President of Sussex Wildlife Trust, will give a Zoom presentation on Repercussions of COVID-19 and our Relationship with Nature. Members of The Headley Society will be sent information and joining instructions in a newsletter, but non-members are welcome to join by following a link which will be on our website on the night.

On August 5th, regulations permitting, members are invited to visit Headley Grange. This is the old workhouse of the parish, built in 1795, which later gained fame as a recording studio for some famous pop groups in the 1970s. Members will be given further instructions nearer the date.

On the following day, Friday 6 August, at 8pm, Jo Smith will give another of his Zoom talks on Headley’s Hidden History.

For information on The Headley Society and its talks email headleysociety@gmail.com

– or visit our web page at www.headley-village.com/society where you can ‘catch-up’ and watch our on-line talks again, and again.

“Here’s Headley” 2021 Unlike in other years, and due to uncertainty over coronavirus, this year’s event will be held open-air on Headley Village Green.

Headley Bowling Club

June 2021. How good it is to report that bowling has started once again on our green behind the Pavilion in Mill Lane Sports ground.

It was a pleasure to see our recently-retired President, Don Stephens and Club Secretary, Sylvia Burrows, thanked for their long service to the Bowling Club by presenting them both with Life Membership (photos below).

Following Government advice, as we emerge out of the pandemic’s strict lockdown, we are moving on with friendly games each weekend; our internal Wednesday evening League; some external cup competitions and our normal Thursday afternoon roll-ups. We have some potential new members joining us and occasionally we see, and enjoy seeing, spectators who in turn enjoy the friendly atmosphere that surrounds our games on the Bowling Green.

Gardening Question Corner No.101

My squash plants are blooming heavily, but aren’t producing many fruits. Why?

Squash and other vine crops are monoecious. Monoecious plants have separate male and female flowers on the same plant. Male and female flowers are similar in appearance – however, female flowers have small, immature fruits at their base. Pollen is transferred from the male to the female flowers by bees and other pollinators. When properly pollinated and fertilized, the female flowers develop into fruit. The first flowers to appear on squash and other vine crops are predominately male. As a result, fruit production is poor when the plants begin to flower. The squash plants should begin producing a good crop within a few weeks as the number of female flowers increases.

Unfavourable weather and the use of insecticides can also affect fruit set on vine crops. Cool, rainy weather during bloom reduces bee activity. Fewer bees visiting the garden results in poor pollination and poor fruit set. Apply insecticides in the garden only when necessary to avoid harming bees and other pollinators.

A small greenish worm is eating the foliage on my cherry tree. What should I do?

The greenish worm is probably the pear slug. The pear slug is not an actual a slug – it’s the larval stage of an insect (sawfly). The pear slug feeds on pear, cherry, plum, and several other woody plants.

The slug-like larvae are yellow but usually appear olive green or black because of a covering of secreted slime. The mature “slug” is about ¼ to ⅜ inch long. Larvae feed on the leaves for about 4 weeks. When full grown they drop to the ground, burrow into the soil, and pupate. Adult sawflies emerge in May and June (first generation) and late July and August (second generation). After mating, female sawflies insert eggs into the leaf surfaces of suitable plant hosts. The eggs hatch in 1 to 2 weeks.

The larvae feed on the upper surface of leaves, eating the tissue between the leaf veins, but leaving the veins themselves. (This feeding pattern is known as skeletonization.) Leaves that are heavily fed upon by the larvae turn brown, as only the veins and a thin layer of tissue remains. Heavily damaged leaves may drop from the tree. Fortunately, pear slugs seldom cause serious damage to healthy, well-established trees. If you wish, pear

slugs are easily controlled with insecticidal soap, neem oil, or other general landscape insecticide sprays.

When can I divide daylilies? Daylilies can be divided in early spring (as new growth begins to

emerge) or in late summer. Dig up the entire clump with a spade. Shake or wash off the soil, then carefully pull the clump apart. A sharp knife may be necessary to divide large, dense clumps. Each division should have 2 or 3 fans of leaves and a good root system. When dividing daylilies in late summer, cut the foliage back to a height of 6 to 8 inches.

Replant the divisions as soon as possible. When planting, the daylily’s crown (the area where the shoots and roots meet) should be approximately 1 inch below the soil surface. Water thoroughly. Divided plants usually don’t bloom well for 1 or 2 years.

Headley Theatre Club

Summer will be late this year! There! We had every good intention of welcoming you back in July with a rip-roaring show called “Here We Are Again”, and then Boris barges in and beats it to oblivion.

Well, not quite oblivion because, being the untrusting souls that we are, we always had a ‘Plan B’ up our sleeves. So now, please welcome our ‘summer show’ – to be held on Fri/Sat 24/25 September.

We have a programme and cast ready to go – and the good news is that they now have longer to rehearse. More on this in the next magazine, but meanwhile please move the mark in your diary on to September.

So, the next place you may see us is at a performance of our Dramatised Hindhead Walk. This will be part of the annual Haslemere Walking Festival, and is due to take place at 2.30pm on Sunday 12 September, starting at the NT Hindhead Car Park. Many of you have seen us do it before – and some of you even come back for more!

Ludshott Photographic Club

Comedians Back To Front! Was the title of a recent presentation to members by Steve Best, a career Stand-up Comedian, who turned profes-sional photographer. He had the unique ability to go behind the scenes to take pictures of old friends. We saw everyday TV comedians such as Paul Merton, Harry Hill, Lee Mack plus many more in relaxed mode, as well as unusual shots of them performing in such place as the Comedy Store. His images were very impressive and plenty of one liners were thrown in during the evening to keep us amused.

Our last competition was judged by Graeme Wales LRPS. The top images scoring 10 were: in the Entry Class, a delightful picture of a fluffy young Robin by Chris Ray and a Cobra sports car racing at Goodwood by Colin Whitburn. In the Intermediate class Alan Rutledge produced a very interesting image called ‘Wet and Dry’ of a mother and daughter behind a streaming water display. ‘Last Light’ was the title of an image by Geoff Sargent of a dark and atmospheric seascape. In the advanced class a beautifully sharp picture of a Redshank searching for food was shown by Keith Mumford.

Mike Young ARPS produced two superb shots of both a Long-Tailed Tit and a pair of Lesser Redpolls bickering.

At each AGM all members vote for the one picture they believe to be the best of all the competitions during the year. This year congratulations go to Brian Marjoram LRPS for his image in black and white with title of ‘Cwmorthin’.

Also, an award called the Robbie Morgan Trophy is made each year to the Entry Class member who has made most progress – this year it was won by Jack Crook who entered most images and accumulated the highest aggregate score.

The Arts Society, Grayshott Aviation Posters’

Graphic designer, writer and broadcaster Mark Ovenden gave a fascinating online overview of aviation posters and maps in his talk ‘Around the World in Stunning Aviation Posters’, reminding viewers from The Arts Society Grayshott of the pleasures of travel.

WWI led to great advances being made in aviation technology, so by 1919 the first scheduled international flights began. Airlines needed to show an initially wary public where their services ran and in so doing created some of the most beautiful and iconic travel posters.

Mark showed a beautiful poster offering a flight for up to two people from Hounslow Heath Aerodrome to the edge of Paris, made for a company called Aircraft Transport and Travel, one of the many components that later went on to form British Airways. The journey was in a converted wartime De Havilland bomber which featured in the poster. This really was the start of international commercial air flight.

The audience went on to see an array of glamorous and colourful early posters. Notably, the Belgian company Sabena made beautifully illustrated postcard maps which made no apologies for featuring an entirely female crew, as women played a very important role in early aviation.

Advertising routes became a big driver of travel poster production from the late 1920s onwards and examples of posters were seen from several major airlines including Lufthansa and Pan Am, many of the latter’s having become sought-after collectors’ items.

One particularly prolific company for printing colourful publicity material was Western Air Express who produced some beautifully illustrated maps

25

by Ruth T White. The maps were the first to feature cartoon type vignettes at each location including illustrations of iconic land features, animals and people. This style started a trend in poster design for the next half century.

From Art Nouveau images of the colonies, Mark went on to lead us through Art Deco streamlined planes, to satellite images of the planet. This world-wide journey was a visual delight and inspired dreams of far-flung destinations in vivid colours and styles. Our next talk is ‘New Advances in Ice Age Art’ by Paul Bahn on Thursday September 2nd. For more information, please contact Kathy on 01428 723565 or see the society website at www.theartssocietygrayshott.org.

Headley Voluntary Care

Headley Voluntary Care has continued to offer its services to the parish throughout the pandemic and are natur-ally increasing the number of drives, as hospital and doctors appointments increase. This has put pressure on the Appointment Co-ordinators as drivers are less in number than before.

Anyone who is willing to drive once or twice a month, or knows anyone who would be, please contact us on 01428 717389.

We were hoping to hold a delayed Garden Party in September and resume our Thursday coffee mornings at the Church Centre, but as the relaxations planned for 21st June have been delayed we have been unable to put these plans into action for the time being. Hopefully, Headley Voluntary Care’s full normal services can resume in the not too distant future.

Did You Know? … Wilsons Road in Headley Down is named after the family who ran the shop where the Headley Down’s first post office and telephone exchange were situated.

Headley Horticultural Society

The Autumn Show of 2019 was the most recent show to be staged by the Society, but there is a possibility that we may be able to put on the Autumn Show in September this year – therefore perhaps now is a good time to remind ourselves of the preparations we should be making, so that all our exhibits are as good as they can be.

The first rule of showing is always to read the show schedule carefully – there are hints and tips at the front of your Programme and Show schedule – but it is particularly important that you carefully check each class that you want to enter to ensure that you do not end up with NAS (not as schedule) on your card.

For example, Class 1 states the pot size to be used for a Flowering Pot Plant and the judge will always check this. There are 3 different classes for fuchsia heads so make sure that you have the right number as well as the right type and combination of varieties. Class 17 calls for 5 stems of Decorative Foliage so do check when staging that there are only 5 in your vase. Sometimes we might select 6 or 7 stems thinking to choose the best on the day, but it is all too easy to leave on more than is required, especially if you have ignored the warning on page 10: “Please give time to exhibit entries – it takes longer than you think!”

If you are planning to enter the domestic classes then try and find time for a “dry run” and where jars of jam or jellies are asked for, these can be made ahead of time; however, chutneys and pickles must be at least 3 months old. Also do take care with the jars you use as these must not bear a trade name.

Many of the judges will make comments on your cards, especially in the Flower Arrangements and Domestic Classes, which will help you understand what the judge is looking for in each exhibit. If you are ever offered an opportunity to steward at a show (assisting the judge) this will be even more useful to you as most judges are more than happy to explain their reasons when awarding placings.

If the Autumn Show is to go ahead, the Society will advise all members as soon as possible and it would be lovely to see a full show bench again with lots of new members taking part and winning prizes.

Firewalk for Phyllis

Lockdown has left many people feeling anxious about returning to normal life, so if you’re feeling the need for a new-found boost of confidence, how about challenging yourself to do something that’s completely out of your comfort zone? On Sunday 19th September, Phyllis Tuckwell will be holding its sponsored Firewalk event, at Farnborough Business Park. The event will raise money to help fund the vital care which the charity offers to local patients and families who are living with an advanced or terminal illness, such as cancer, but it also offers participants the chance to take on a new challenge, teaching them life skills and empowering attitudes which will stay with them forever.

The Firewalk will be run by Time4Change (T4C), a training and events organisation which draws upon motivational psychology, neuro-linguistic programming and the martial arts to tap into inner resources of fearlessness and self-belief. Before the walk, you will attend a training seminar – which is as important as the Firewalk itself – run by T4C instructor Cliff Mann, who has safely guided thousands of people over hot coals and is recognised as the most experienced Firewalk instructor in the UK and Europe.

You will then be taken outside to walk across the fire lane, which will be made up of a combination of red-hot pine, ash and oak embers. The lane will be 15-20ft long and 2-3ft wide, with a core temperature of 400-600°F. A debrief and certificate presentation will follow the walk, after which you’ll be free to celebrate your achievement!

To find out more, or to register, visit www.pth.org.uk/hot-foot-it-firewalk. Registration is £30 and Phyllis Tuckwell asks that you raise a minimum sponsorship of £150. Participants must be age 16 or over.
