The Tenth Battalion Trail.

The Tenth Battalion Trail.

For help using the Echoes App, please visit vtsw.uk/echoes. There is about twenty-five minutes of audio in this Sound Walk, all of which are excerpts from the book the "The Tenth Battalion Trail". The Trail is focusses on a number of places related to the Tenth Battalion, The Parachute Regiment, during the nine months it spent in High Leicestershire from December 1943 to September 1944. During that time, The Tenth was billeted in the villages of Somerby, Thorpe Satchville and Burrough on the Hill. If you enjoy listening to the stories in the Walk, we would encourage you to buy a copy, as it will give you much more information around each of the locations in the Walk. It also has a detailed history of the Tenth written by Prosper Keating. For more information, please follow this link https://friendsofthetenth.co.uk/product/the-tenth-battalion-trail-guidebook How you choose to follow this Sound Walk is entirely up to you. There's a Strava walking route here: www.strava.com/routes/3447517172964478806, a Strava cycling route here: www.strava.com/routes/3450797452392584768 and a Google Maps driving route here: maps.app.goo.gl/C8yNyEuRXvDQioxD9. Along the way there are pubs and cafes where you can stop off for drinks, snacks or full meals. There are also useful shops as well as places where you can spend a night. To hear the whole script for each location (AKA 'echo'), you will need to stay inside the echo until the audio has finished as the walk is set to only play the audio when you are actually located in the echo. If you leave the echo, the audio will stop. But if you go back into it, it will carry on from where it left off, or re-start if it had already finished. Alternatively, if you like, you can just virtually visit all the locations from the comfort of your sofa by visiting www.vtsw.uk/vt/ttbt.

The Secret Barnsdale Fruit & Nut Trail

The Secret Barnsdale Fruit & Nut Trail

Oakham
For help using the Echoes App, please visit vtsw.uk/echoes The green spaces at Barnsdale are home to over 100 young trees. An orchard of apple varieties, with 60 trees, was planted in 2012 on the south-facing slope at the entrance to the car parking area. Then in 2016, a ‘nuttery’ of 50 trees was planted in a snaking line from the orchard to the entrance to Barnsdale Wood. Here you can learn about the huge variety of apples that were once common in England. If you are keen to see the differences between an almond tree, a walnut, a pecan or a pine nut, please follow this walk and also look at the pictures in the Echoes App.

Sound Ride Around Rutland Water

Sound Ride Around Rutland Water

Oakham
For help using the Echoes App, please visit vtsw.uk/echoes The small county of Rutland uses the Latin motto “Multum in Parvo” which means “Much in little”. This reflects the fact that Rutland is the smallest county in England by area, but it has a lot to offer in terms of natural beauty, history, and culture. This sound ride has been created so that people who are cycling around Rutland Water, can learn about the history of various points of interest around it. If you'd like to walk it, it'll still work, but you'll have long gaps between the various echoes. There's no specific start or finish point, so you can start your ride (or walk) at any point on the loop. Also, this has been created to support the Leicestershire and Rutland charity, Hope Against Cancer. If you enjoy it, please do consider making a donation to the charity by visiting www.justgiving.com/hopefoundationcancerresearch and clicking the Donate button.
