Heritage Open days starts tomorrow for a week. There are loads of interesting places to visit in the West Midlands and Warwickshire. Take a look! www.heritageopendays.org.uk/whats-on/sea...

Shocking to hear that idiots are damaging this beautiful historic building often visited by walkers. Please let the police know if you have any information. www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/local-n...

The Met Office have issued an Amber heat health alert for this weekend. If you're heading out to enjoy the sunshine near open water, please stay safe and #BeWaterAware. Even strong swimmers can get caught out by cold water shock. Find out more here: respectthewater.com

It's hot... 🥵☀️ Make sure to put out plenty of water for birds & wildlife so they can keep cool and have enough to drink. They'll thank you!

Fed up with solar panels ruining the countryside? Please support the CPRE campaign to contact your MP to encourage them get them installed on otherwise wasted space above car parks. rooftoprevolution.cpre.postbug.app

Managed a visit to the new @nationaltrust.org.uk Charterhouse property yesterday. Really enjoyed it! Heard it had been a big success with 8000 visitors in the first 3 weeks. Do go along soon and see the gardens at their best! www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/warwic...

Excellent to see a new National Trust Property opening in our area. Can't wait to visit! @nationaltrust.org.uk www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/warwic...

Coventry Charterhouse threw open its doors to visitors today! The 14th-century monastery is the first National Trust property in Coventry, home to rare medieval wall paintings, layers of history and peaceful gardens. Find out more: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/warwickshire/coventry-charterhouse

WE WON! 🥾✊🌳 The Ramblers has won a long-running legal battle against landowner Roxlena Ltd, bringing much-loved paths in Hayton Woods a step closer to being protected for future generations! Today, the High Court judge ruled in our favour in this landmark case that could have punished locals...🧵

There are far too many of these horrible incidents happening. You must keep your dog under close control anywhere near livestock. Especially as many vulnerable ewes are heavily pregnant at the moment. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Atherstone town council are looking to improve access along the River Anker to the north of the town. Please fill in this survey to help them to better understand how they should progress. storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/d603...

Great to have @tomheap.bsky.social at our AGM yesterday to give an interesting an inspiring talk. He signed a copy of his book for our area secretary Janet afterwards!

Don't forget it is our AGM tomorrow at 10.30 am. It's at Long Itchington Community Centre, CV47 9QP. If you are driving, parking is free, look out for a steward in high viz at the entrance. See you there!

Please sign this petition, set up by the local MP, against an inappropriate solar farm development near Leamington Spa. mattwestern.org/campaign/rad... We are not against solar farms in general, but this is a poor plan in a damaging location. Put them on roofs!

Remember it is our AGM on the 8th February at 10.30 am. It's at Long Itchington Community Centre, CV47 9QP. If you are definitely coming please email [email protected] by tomorrow to help with catering numbers. There will be a choice of two walks afterwards, 3 or 5 miles. See you there!

There are currently multiple flood warnings across Warwickshire. 🔗 Check for flood warnings in your area: check-for-flooding.service.gov.uk 💡 For tips on how to prepare and respond to flooding, visit the Warwickshire Resilience Forum: www.warwickshireresilienceforum.org/risks/floodi...

Fed up with lots of solar farms ruining the countryside? If so, please support the CPRE campaign to get MPs to vote for the upcoming sunshine bill that would require solar panels on new build houses. Use this link to get a sample letter and find your MP. takeaction.cpre.org.uk/page/162463/...

The Warwickshire Area AGM has now been confirmed for Saturday 8th February 2025. At the Community Centre, Stockton Road, Long Itchington, CV47 9QP. If you are definitely coming please let us know at [email protected] to help with catering.

For those of you who have never seen the official source of the #Thames in flood, here's a video I made this week of the first mile of our beautiful river. You can clearly see water bubbling from the Cotswold aquifer. Thanks Storm Bert! @thamespathnt.bsky.social youtu.be/KfPNLxD9GWI

It's our quarterly area council tomorrow at 2pm in Meriden. Hope to see you there!

Good to see a Conservative party thinktank talking about the importance of walking. Perhaps they could have a chat with Conservative controlled Lincolnshire County Council about why they have the worst backlog of unrecorded paths in the country? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

How about Coventry council putting solar panels on the roofs of all council buildings first, rather than destroying the green belt? www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventr...

“reform us, change our purposes, put nature recovery and nature and climate front and centre. Make sure we really are inclusive.” Bold leadership from Dartmoor and Northumberland #NationalPark - warning they are in “critical care” and facing “closed signs”. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It was great to join the West Midlands Walking Group for their AGM last night. They run a packed programme of walks and weekends away and membership is up. Keep up the good work! www.wmwg.org.uk
