Welcome to the August edition of the Amber Valley Voice and this month I have thrown myself into the true spirit of the Olympics and have taken up two new sports! You may remember an advert for Greenwood Archery and Ripley Badminton Club over the last couple of editions….having never picked up a bow before or hit a shuttlecock...I thought to myself “why not”? Well, the fact that I have a lot of improving to do is an understate-ment but I thoroughly enjoyed both clubs and I was made to feel so welcome. So much so, that some family members have attached themselves to the bandwagon and have signed up as members to the archery club and attended more practice sessions...we’ll see about that!!!

We have some fantastic local events coming up in August and September. However, I draw your attention to the Amber Valley Ascen-sions on page 6, not only are they holding a fun-day to raise funds for essential items such as kit but they are also looking for new members, so if you’re 16 or over….grab inspiration from the Olympics and take up a new sport today!!

Happy Reading! Emily

4 Mile Circular Walk from Pentrich via Butterley Reservoir Another great walk for you and your dog. There are some fantastic views across to Crich Stand and a chance to see some landmarks relating to the Pentrich Revolution. The route will take about 2 hours. It is fairly even but there are a couple of relatively steep uphill sections. The terrain is mixed and a good pair of

boots and long trousers are advised to avoid stinging plants on the paths.

This walk is for illustrative purposes only. The Amber Valley Voice takes no responsibility for anyone who

chooses to follow this route and encourages all walkers to obey all byelaws and signs and to respect the

area they are walking in, ensuring they pick up all dog mess and obey the countryside code at all times.

� Carry on past the farm until you reach the old mill. Cross the road here and take a narrow footpath up the side of a house.

� At the end of the path pass through the gate into a field and walk uphill keep-ing the hedge on your left up to the top of the field where you will find a stile. Cross the stile and continue up another field , again keeping the hedge on your right. Take some time to look out across to Crich Stand for some fantastic views!

� At the end of the field there will be another stile. Cross into another field and continue along until you reach another stile. This stile will take you right into another field. Walk along with the hedge on your left until you reach a stone gap. Pass through the gap and head up towards Pentrich, picking up a path that takes you to a stile in the hedge.

� Cross the stile and head across the field towards St Matthews Church. Pass through the graveyard and join the main path that takes you away from the church and down the steps to where you began the walk.

Specialist Tree Care Services

This is a great time for seed collection – there’s nothing better than plants for free! Snip off seed heads when they’re dry and place in labelled paper bags or envelopes. The

seeds will tumble out when they’re ready and can either be sown early to overwinter for next year where appropriate or if stored in labelled screw top jars and kept in a cool place they will be ready for spring sowing.

Prune climbing or rambling roses which don’t repeat flower once they’ve finished flowering. Also cut out old fruited canes on raspberries.

Clear out any debris or fallen leaves from ponds – the fewer nutrients there are in the water, the less likely you are to get algal growth.

TopTip

If you’re a cook as well as a gardener, take advantage of an abundance of herbs by freezing them. Basil, chervil, chives, fennel leaves and parsley all freeze well. Wash and finely chop. Cram into ice cube trays, cover with water and freeze. Once frozen, remove from trays and store in labelled plastic bags in the freezer. Add to dishes at the end of cooking to get best flavour.
