Green Belt - Wendover
Starting our journey at Waterloo train station we took a train to our site in Wendover. Wendover is a country side area on the green and chalky outskirts of the Green Belt, North West of London. This agricultural town and many others are apart of London's Green Belt.
Wendover itself is a old town which used to be a chalk deposit. When we were walking around the area we found that the area had a variation plants and trees. Some which had fruit which we did stop and eat. There were apple trees, pine trees, maples and many different trees which would have been planted by farmers or land owners. The purpose of planting trees in rows like they are in Wendover would have been to divide land.
Once we started walking we had to find our way around the land the right way. There are different pathways for specific people such as for land owners and regular civilians. One of the pathways was through this empty find which recently reaped for its straw.
On our walk up and down the hill we saw signs of old and new wild life. We walked by a few old rabbit holes and by horses in gated areas. Some horses were timid but the one pony we saw was very friendly.
Our site is opposite the Wendover train station and right next to the cricket ground. Inside our site there are the changing rooms for cricket players and also a garage which we don't know the contents of. It is about 30 meters long and 7 wide.
Interesting observations. Can you think about the memorable or significant things for you? Reflect critically on what you have written, and start to pick up on things that may be of value in your project
ReplyDeletee.g.. is the connection with chalk deposits something of value? we walked past chalk pits on the way back to the station. What is chalk? What does it look like? This could become a section in your blog on materials.
Hey MyDom, a couple of these reminded me of the "tiny-frog" incident at Bearzonia! Nante'
