Great to see this project is about to start. It has taken three years to get to this stage. Funding has been gained and lost as bureaucratic red tape has continued to dog this project, thanks to the tenacity of Chilterns National Landscape ChilternChalkStreams Chiltern Society for sticking with it.

Most of the legislation is in place, just needs to be enforced.

Misty morning in the ⁦R. Chess Association⁩ valley.

Dreadful planning, appalling project management, lies and deceit. With the amount of money sloshing about you have to consider corruption. A deep financial and environmental audit needs to be carried out. Should also be looking at repurposing the whole project.

Exciting development on the R. Chess Association at Scotsbridge, a great opportunity to solve a long standing flooding risk & create an exciting network of wildlife habitat with excellent public access.

Approved based on lies & a paper thin business case, this should not be a surprise. Built for the benefit of the Civil Engineering Industry & that certainly worked. ICE warns that Britain can’t afford more infrastructure failure after HS2 cancellation newcivilengineer.com/latest/ice-war…

It’s just very relaxing being by a chalk stream. ⁦R. Chess Association⁩

Great white egret at Latimer.

Glorious morning for a walk. Why not take the #ChessValleyWalk from Rickmansworth to Chesham. Pubs to visit Scotsbridge Mill, Cock at Sarratt, ⁦The Red Lion Chenies⁩, Pheasant or Queens Head Chesham. ⁦ChilternChalkStreams⁩ ⁦Chilterns National Landscape⁩ ⁦R. Chess Association⁩

Chenies produce show is underway. Frantic last moments as entries are displayed. The thought of a first prize red certificate drives the competition. This year the added incentive of a free drink at the wonderful Red Lion for any winners.

That over spend equal 6 budget black holes.

More over wintering thanks to milder climates and a ready food source. They have hammered the knapweed seed heads and have now moved onto the teasels.
