Again we had excellent sunny and crisp weather as we met at the Whalebone on the 3rd of January. After a short explanation of the project we headed south to the path along marshes.
On the way round we discussed good locations for interpretation panels. It was thought that panels could be put along the paths viewing the marsh, one on the sea wall, one just south of the crossed bridle paths and one on the path to post wood. See the map below.
These locations offer amazing views of the marsh
Another interpretation idea has been suggested. The disused phone box in the village could be converted into a listening post, with recorded extracts giving information on Fingringhoe.
We also spoke about possible topics of information for the panels. These came down to the following topics;
- Geology of the area, ie the gravel beds
- More detailed information on the local wildlife
- Oral history on the local areas
On the walk we also found an access issue with no styles giving access to the marsh footpath at the army road entrance to the firing range.
So that was our New Year Walk 2010!
