& Marketing?Testimonial:

“Allzones have now skillfully performed 3 build contracts for me over the last few years; covering a range of activities from roofing/hanging tiles/guttering to outdoor landscaping, log cabin erection, building a bridge and interior refurbishment including flooring. They are certainly very experienced, know what they’re doing, are excellent trouble shooters and won’t cut corners. Not only that: they are clean, tidy, polite and reasonably priced. They respect your home, have good attention to detail and provide a good standard of finish. I have no hesitation in recommending them and will be inviting them back next year to do the final stage of my restoration work.”

Dear ResidentsWelcome to the November Edition of the Ashdown Forest Living.

Besides Winnie-the-pooh, there are some other famous past residents related to the Ashdown Forest one of whom is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, we are lucky to have been provided with an article about his life in this area.

Local company, stuff 2 eat, has provided another mouth-watering recipe to suit the shorter, colder days.

A new feature from The Ashdown Forest Rangers brings us news of the forest and the seasonal work being carried out.

Please keep your events coming in.

Thank you for all the feedback we’ve had so far we’re glad you’re finding the publication interesting & useful. For all charities and community groups that need promotion please drop us a line so we can assist. On that note, the charity “Open Hands” featured last month was very happy with the feedback to their article so thank you to everyone who got in touch with them.

All the best,

Advertising with Ashdown Forest Living Our results speak for themselves:

“Not advertising is like winking at a girl in the dark. Only you know what you’re doing.”

“Having done lots of advertising in various regional publications since launching our domestic cleaning business some 4 years ago, I can honestly say that this has produced some of the best responses from a very wide ranging area. I’ll definitely advertise in it again”.

Laura Cotterill, owner of The Clean Machine

“I have had some great responses from the Ashdown Forest Living in the last couple of months. And I am very happily going to carry on advertising there again. The people that call me are serious and genuine people themselves and don’t mess you about, they mean business and are honest and straight forward. Thank you for your help.”

1.75 miles/3km

From Linton’s car park cross the road (with care) into Ridgecar park (summer only). Walk out of the rear past a seat ontoa grass path and in about 50m turn left onto a ride. Remain onthis gently descending ride, ignoring another that bears offright, for about 400m.

On both left and right are linear quarries,now filled with scrub and trees. Suchquarries dot the Forest landscape andprovided stone for roads. Typical heathlandbirds such as nightjar, stonechat, tree pipitand woodlark usually breed in this area andthe ride edges in particular are one of thebest places on the Forest (indeed in Sussex)to see, in May, the yellow flowers of thesmall spiny shrub, petty whin.

The ride bears left, then right through a break in the quarriesand continues descending for 400m to a metalled drive (SandyLane) . On the left is a bowling green and ahead are thecricket pitch and pavilion of Coleman’s Hatch Cricket Club.

On the hill-top in the distance is Gills Lap Clump, the Galleons Lapof the Winnie-the-Pooh books. One old name for the Clump was TheCamel’s Hump, from the shape formed by the silhouettes of its pinetrees. In the 1920s, when the picture (left) was taken, there werevery few trees on the surrounding slopes, just open heathland.

Cross the drive and walk to the right of the cricket pitch. Wherethe ride divides, bear right, leaving the pitch, and bear rightat the next divide after 300m . The ride descends more steeplyand swings right and downhill into woodland and to a bridgeover a stream .

This area is known as Tabell Ghyll. Itswoodland is most unusual for the publicpart of the Forest with its many largetrees, especially beech, and severalhectares of planted sweet chestnutcoppice. The area was sold off from thecommon land of the Forest in 1693 andonly ‘returned’ during World War Two inexchange for the compulsory purchaseof land elsewhere for military reasons.In the map of 1931 (below) the heavilywooded Ghyll is in marked contrast to the heath to the north of thestream – a reflection of different land use over 250 years.

Is Vibration Training the fitness short-cut of the century?

their most popular model,

the Ultim8 Vibration plate,

deceptively looks the

easiest to use apparently

exerting the least of your

effort. A feat of modern

engineering vibration plates

are specifically designed

machines that vibrate at

between �0 and 50hz). the

studies have shown that

vibration training stimulates

Apparently Madonna is a

there is also a growing

“see it in the flesh”.

Ultim8 client testimonial:

“After 12 weeks use of the

GET FIT IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME

“Before I contacted Hire Fitness, I was not feeling good about myself, and was rather overweight. I am really busy and don’t have time to go to the gym. I hired 3 pieces of equipment for 3 months and Michael kindly threw in the

rower for free. It has been hard work but really satisfying to lose weight and to have a new outlook on life. Even my wife says that she quite fancies me, so that can’t be bad! Thank you Hire Fitness.” Jamie, Sussex

Michael Wall, established his Hire Fitness business 3 years ago & has built up a large portfolio of clients hiring & selling fitness equipment for use in the home He also supplies commercial equipment to gyms, offices, salons and studios.

People are increasingly choosing to hire in their homes for many reasons, most often for convenience & lack of time or inclination to go the gym.

There is a hire- to- buy scheme where clients can try a machine prior to making a purchase. The Power Plate is his most popular model, it can burn 350 calories in 10 minutes.

Business Focus: Ease Stress with Michelle JonesMJ REFLEXOLGY moves to Crowborough to tackle modern stress.

Michelle Jones (BSYA) Ad. Reflex is known as one of Sussex and Kent’s most prominent Reflexologists who has just moved

into Crowborough. Qualified with the British School of Yoga (Diploma & Advanced Diploma with distinction) and the Carlton Institute of Beauty Therapy (Diploma with distinction), she is renowned for delivering high quality, bespoke therapeutic services. She also specialise in Indian Head Massage, Body Massage & Hot Stones, Facial Treatments & Spray tan.

Michelle continues to help the people of Sussex and Kent by reducing stress, relaxing bodies and improving overall well-being. She now has a therapy room at her home in Crowborough and has been helping people with their aches, pains through Reflexology for over 2 years.

Michelle said “People in the Tunbridge Wells & surrounding areas area are increasingly looking to alternative treatments for long-term problems such as back pain, migraine, sciatica & digestive disorders. Reflexology has been proven as a way to relieve the impact of stress, muscular pains & migraines, improve circulation, digestion & hormonal imbalances, as well as many other common discomforts.” Reflexology is excercised throughout history around the globe from ancient Egypt, China & Japan and what we know as “Reflexology” only emerged in the West in the 19th century. Michelle manipulates pressure points on the feet that link to into the body’s reflex network

which in turn is linked to the internal organs and glands. On the first visit she will have a preliminary talk with you to determine your present and past health and lifestyle. Using her hands to apply pressure to your feet, the application and the effect of the therapy are unique to each person.

She can detect subtle changes in specific points on the feet, and working on these points may affect the corresponding organ or system of the body. Each treatment usually lasts between 45 minutes one hour. A course of treatment may be recommended depending on your body’s needs.

If you would like to treat yourself or someone you know to a reflexology treatment or any of the other treatements available, call Michelle on 01892 660 007 or mobile: 07544 708961 and ease the stress out of your life.
