| Peak District is first National Park to go live on Google Street View |
|
People can now take a tour of the Peak District National Park from the comfort of their own home. In true pioneering spirit, the Peak District today (Thursday) became the first national park to be virtually accessible, opening its diverse landscapes to the digital world of Google Street View. People will be able to click and see the traffic-free trails at home, at work or even on the move. Jim Dixon, chief executive of the Peak District National Park, said: “It is our ambition that, by being on Google Street View, more people will enjoy the wonders of this protected and special landscape. Once people see it, I am sure they will be inspired to come and stay for a few days to explore first-hand what they have experienced online. “The national park covers an area of 555 square miles so it was impractical to film every inch for people to view. Instead we have selected some of the highlights. These are the trail areas where we offer ranger-led walks, family activities and cycle hire and bike maintenance, so there are lots of ways for people to enjoy and experience what the national park has to offer.” The Tissington, Monsal and High Peak trails are now all available online. The filming took place over the summer and was carried out by national park volunteers using the Google Trekker camera. The equipment is designed to capture 360 degree imagery in public locations. It was taken to locations the Google Street View car can’t reach. Emily Clarke from Google said: “We’re excited that the Peak District will be using the Street View Trekker so more of us can experience its famous trails and views from wherever we are.” |

As of 11pm Wednesday 5th November, our recent poll, here at parwich.org, indicates that some 19% of respondents use the Vodafone mobile network and of these 90% have no mobile reception at all. Also it would appear that Vodafone reception is poorer than other networks, though only three individuals (9%) reported an adequate signal. (NB. If you do have a good signal, do share which network you use.)
A majority of respondents (91%) are in favour of local participation in the Vodafone Rural Sure Signal programme. (Click here for information on the scheme.) To move this forward, it needs volunteers to identify a site for the required unit and to liaise with Vodafone and with the Parish Council(s). The Blog Team would be happy to support anyone taking this on.

Hello Possums,
Weedkiller Weekly have been asked by Derbyshire Police to clarify the purpose of the current firearms amnesty, following an incident where a clapped out Mitsubishi ‘Shogun‘ with no tax or m.o.t. was dumped outside Ashbourne Police Station in the early hours of this morning.
Latest research suggests that adopting a healthy lifestyle could stave off the ravages of dementia for up to twelve years. Now, where did I put those vitamin pills?
Never allow a cannibal to pick your brains.

Our Weatherman in the Village says:
We recorded a surprising 17.8 degrees c on Friday which is a temperature we probably won’t see again until next spring now. The week ahead looks cooler with more seasonal temperatures. There is the prospect of overnight frost later in the week, but not too much rain in the forecast.

Martin C suggested we run a post in response to a recent article in the Ashbourne News Telegraph, where our MP, Patrick McLoughlin, urged villages to put themselves forward for the Vodafone ‘Rural Open Sure Signal’ programme. Click here for more information on this Vodafone scheme.
This scheme uses a local booster using broadband, which “… creates 3G signal. It’s also ‘open’, so as long as you’re within range and have a 3G device, you’ll automatically connect to it. This means you’ll be able to make clear calls and get online in rural locations where you couldn’t before“.
The closing date is soon, so please respond promptly to the following questions, in order to evaluate whether or not there is any local interest:
Also, out of general interest for non-Vodafone users:
Feel free to add any relevant comments below, especially, if you have a good signal, let us know which network you use.

The following Hallows Eve tale has been sent in by our very own P Burlinson – Happy Halloween everyone:
Make haste, make haste, my kindred souls who slither and crawl, scamper and scurry, the moon is rising and we must hurry.
Our kin are stirring from ancient crypts and catacombs, from cobwebbed vaults and musty tombs.
We must heed our dark masters’ call, and wend our way to the Halloween ball.
In a clearing deep in the woods behold a fairies ring, an enchanted place to dance and sing.
We’ll skip and hop to the fiddlers tune, round and round the crackling fire we’ll go with Jack O lanterns all aglow.
The Devils jig, the Demons reel, faster and faster we spin and wheel.
Elves and Goblins, Imps and Sprites, Will O the Wisps and cackling crones spitting curses to chill your bones.
Ring a ring a roses, a pocket full of posies, Atishoo, atishoo we all fall down, ha, ha, ha, ha,
We’ll feast on lobsters and tickled trout, jellied eels that make you drool.
Venison and suckling pigs, the plumpest grapes and juicy figs.

A force-wide firearms surrender aimed at cutting the number of guns in circulation across Derbyshire is being launched today, Monday, October 27.
The operation is the first in 11 years to give people across the whole county the opportunity to hand over any firearms or ammunition they have, to help stop them getting into the wrong hands.These include air weapons, replica or imitation weapons such as BB guns, antique firearms or legally-held guns that license holders no longer want or need.
People who have guns that they want to hand over to Derbyshire police can do so at a number of enquiry offices across the county from today until Friday, November 7, from 7am to midnight.
To help raise awareness of the campaign, the force has produced a video comparing a fake ball bearing gun with a real, police-issue firearm. We want to know if viewers can tell the difference between the real gun and the fake one. To view the video, click the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-opWqbwf2Q&list=UUI6ScnSIKZtvckHcYIYCENA.
If you are on Facebook, you can tell us which you think is the real gun by searching for Derbyshire Constabulary and commenting below the video. If you are on Twitter, search for @DerbysPolice and tweet us your answer, using the hashtag #RealOrFakeGun.
The surrender means people can dispose of these items in a safe place. During the surrender, people handing in guns can remain anonymous. The history of each live weapon will be checked for evidence of its use in crime and if they have not been used in criminality, they will be melted down or recycled. Continue Reading »
