Dog-walkers urged to scoop the poop on Peak District trails |
|
People who exercise their dogs on trails in the Peak District National Park are being asked to dispose of their dog’s waste responsibly.With the onset of spring more people are using the trails to enjoy fresh air, take exercise and experience the landscape. However life on the trails is being marred by a litter problem. The Monsal Trail, High Peak and Tissington Trails are some of the most popular traffic-free trails in the Peak District, enjoyed by walkers, cyclists and horse-riders, as well as dog-owners exercising their pets. Emma Stone, who manages the national park trails, said: “Most people are considerate to others and use the trails responsibly. Sadly there are a few that spoil things for the majority by leaving litter, including dog waste.” In some places dog waste litters the surface of the trail and in others people have bagged it and thrown it into bushes and trees. Emma explained: “It is unpleasant and unhealthy for people to visit areas affected by dog-fouling which is why we are working with Derbyshire Dales District Council to address the issue on the trails. District councils have legal powers to enforce the duty of dog owners to clear up after their animals on public land. “We want people to follow the countryside code which asks everyone to leave no trace of their visit. There wouldn’t be a problem if everyone took personal responsibility for keeping the national park litter-free, and that includes bagging dog waste and disposing of it in the appropriate bin, or taking it home.” The national park launched a short animated film recently to help people understand how to act responsibly in the countryside, which includes keeping dogs on leads and removing their waste www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/learning-about/secondary-resources/do-this-video For more advice read the Countryside Code at www.naturalengland.org.uk/countrysidecode |

We have two international volunteers from Germany staying with us the weekend of the Well Dressings. We’d like to walk over hill and dale to get to Tissington, the only thing stopping us is two pairs of wellies – I need a size 39 and size 40 to borrow. Does anyone have some they can lend us?
Many thanks,
Debbie W 390568
Added 26th March: Debbie says thank you, the wellies are now sorted.

Well, surprisingly there was a gap in the clouds just at the maximum of the eclipse.
Thank you Cheryl W for sending us this ‘Villager Jim’ photo.
(Added 12.30, have found out that ‘Villager Jim’ is an Eyam based photographer, so though looking pretty much as the eclipse did from Parwich, this photo is likely to have been taken from a little further north. To find out more about Villager Jim and his work click here to see his Facebook page. It is well worth checking out and if you are a Facebook member clicking his ‘like’ button.)

This is a picture of my niece, Emma Hacking, following the BBC’s advice on how to safely watch the solar eclipse using a colander.
Hopefully something to make you smile on a Friday morning

Just in case you have missed the hype, or have been overwhelmed by information on
- Vernal equinoxes (corrected to – for this year 10.45pm Friday 20th March), this is the mid point between the longest and shortest days, when night and day are approximately the same length.
- Super moons (moonrise tomorrow Friday 6.05am), occur when the moon orbits closest to the Earth, meaning this is when it appears largest from Earth. Tomorrow morning sees a new/crescent moon, click here for a sun and moon timetable for Derby.
- Solar eclipses occur when the moon travels in front of the sun. Tomorrow morning’s partial eclipse sees for our area at its maximum the moon obscuring some 90% of the sun.
here is the timing of tomorrow’s partial solar eclipse:
| Eclipse Timing | |||
| Day | Time | Event | Location |
| Fri 20th | 8.30 to 10.40am | Solar Eclipse 90% maximum at aprox 9.30am |
UK |
With some lovely clear weather this afternoon, let’s hope there is a similar break in the clouds tomorrow morning. Click here for the Met Office information relating to tomorrow’s eclipse. Also for instructions on eye safety when observing the sun and the eclipse click here.

In the February meeting the Parish Council decided that the minutes of the parish council meetings will now only be placed in the village shop and on the Parish Council’s own Website (when it becomes available). The agendas of the parish council meetings will now only be placed in the village shop and on the parish council notice board.
The blog team is aware that a number of people rely on the internet to view the minutes of the parish council meetings and, as the parish council website site is not yet available, we have photographed these documents. Unfortunately this means the quality of these documents is rather poor; however you can still read them. Please follow the links below to the agenda for tomorrow’s council meeting and the draft minutes from February’s meeting.
