This is a great Council run golf course and we played for just £10! What a bargain! This was a challenging course for me but was great fun! If you get a chance and you live in Hertfordshire then it’s definitely one to play!

Harpenden is a town in the St Albans City district in the county of Hertfordshire, England. Harpenden is a commuter town, with a direct rail connection through Central London and property prices well over double the national average.
Geographically Harpenden is located between (and a short distance from) two much larger neighbours: Luton town (to the north) and the city of St Albans (to the south). Harpenden is flanked by the villages of Redbourn (to the west) and Wheathampstead (to the east).
A widespread but now little-known industry of Harpenden was straw-weaving, a trade mainly carried out by women in the nineteenth century. A good straw weaver could make as much as a field labourer. The straw plaits were taken to the specialist markets in St Albans or Luton and bought by dealers to be converted into straw items such as boaters and other hats or bonnets.
The arrival of the railway system from 1860 and the sale of farms for residential development after 1880 radically changed Harpenden's surroundings. First the Dunstable Branch of the Great Northern Railway passed through the Batford area with a station later named Harpenden East railway station (this line is now closed and forms a cycle track).
There are two civil parishes: Harpenden and Harpenden Rural. As Harpenden is located in Hertfordshire just outside London, Harpenden is an area of extremely high property costs. This is common in the region. Harpenden has a large number of its streets named after English literary figures on the East side of the town (an area known, unsurprisingly, as the Poets' Corner), including Byron Road, Cowper Road, Kipling Way, Milton Road, Shakespeare Road, Spenser Road, Shelley Court, Tennyson Road, Townsend Road, Masefield Road and Wordsworth Road.
Harpenden railway station is served by Thameslink on a frequent and fast rail link through central London. Suburban services stop at all stations on the route, while express services stop at St Albans City before continuing non-stop to London St Pancras International, (Harpenden to St Pancras International – 25 minutes). Trains run north to Luton, Luton Airport Parkway and on to Bedford.
The A6 used to run through Harpenden, although the road numbering was changed to avoid congestion. The M1 runs nearby. The closest access to the M1 is Junction 9 at Redbourn & Dunstable or alternatively Junction 10 for Luton & Airport. A number of bus services pass through Harpenden. There are 4 main frequent and reliable routes.
A notable feature of Harpenden is its abundant parks and commons. The central area of Harpenden, known locally as the village is characterised by Church Green, Leyton Green and the High Street Greens, which give the town its provincial feel.
Just to the south of the town centre is Harpenden Common, stretching from the shops in the town centre for more than a mile to the south, encompassing a total of 238 acres (96 ha). Today Harpenden Common hosts two cricket clubs, Harpenden Cricket Club, a Hertfordshire Premier League club that celebrated its 150 anniversary in 2013 and Bamville Cricket Club who play on Sundays on the golf course, a football club, bridle ways for horse riding, ramblers' paths and Harpenden Common Golf Club

Old Sodbury and the SW Cotswold Edge - DJI Phantom 2 & H3-3D gimbal
Music: Messier's Grave by Alan Stewart
Flying round the village of Old Sodbury in South Gloucestershire on the evening of 25th July 2014 to test out my modifications to the DJI stock controller to allow smoother turning and panning shots with the H3-3D gimbal. Absolutely no post-processing stabilization or slowing of footage applied.
Shot listing:
1. From Old Sodbury looking WNW, bonfire smoke obscuring view of Chipping Sodbury and Yate; Welsh hills visible on horizon. Pan left to show line of railway as it approaches the village of Old Sodbury and the railway tunnel, with the 'Cotswold Edge' rising up behind the village.
2. Tracking shot of an eastbound HST (1L92 First Great Western 1828 Swansea to London Paddington running 3 mins late) entering the Sodbury Tunnel (side view).
3. Tracking shot of an eastbound HST (1L90 First Great Western 1728 Swansea to London Paddington running 48 mins late) entering the Sodbury Tunnel (overhead view), tilt up at end of shot to show the village and the Cotswold Edge.
4. Flying eastwards over the village of Old Sodbury towards the first of Sodbury Tunnel's air shafts. The A46 and countryside beyond is visible.
5. Flying SE over farmland SW of Old Sodbury, pan left to show village, tunnel entrance, and then pan further left revealing distant hazy views of the Cotswold Edge to the north, bonfire smoke in the distance; the River Severn and Welsh hills visible in the far distance.
6. Overhead side view of a westbound freight train (2020 Swindon Stores to Cardiff Tidal Terminal Complex, running 90 mins early) as it passes. We pan right with it and then follow it, ascending and tilting up to reveal the sun low in the sky over the countryside of South Gloucestershire.

African singing at Nomansland north of St Albans
Heard on a Saturday afternoon, June 2014.
Just north of an overrated Hertfordshire commuter belt town called St Albans* there's an area of common land called Nomansland, popular with dog walkers, model aircraft flyers, and people who like to ensure the paths are churned up muddy messes when it's raining, by riding portly horses up and down them.
This singing I have heard a few times before, it's coming from a dip in the woods, north of the northerly car park - not the awfully over-administered new one put there by forestry commission busy bodies who can't let a day go by without banging about 150 signs into the ground saying 'LOOK AT THE BLUEBELLS' or, even worse, standing in attendance until deciding to approach me - wearing a high viz jacket of course, in the middle of a field - why?! - and telling me to put the dog on a lead because of the trees.
Anyway, what a treat to hear such unexpected melodic and harmonic singing in this undeserving part of Hertfordshire.
Does anyone know who it is?
*Okay, St Albans could be worse, it's not too bad I suppose. However, I just don't like it.
I don't like paying £19.20 for a crappy 20 minute journey to St Pancras
Nor paying £7.70 to park at the station
Or being expected to pay £500,000 for a crappy terraced house, I don't like having a ruined high street full of a bizarre combination of the usual suspect coffee shops, pound shops and estate agent.
I despise St Alban's corrupt, apologist MP who should actually have been sent to prison, not bloody well voted back in. QUICK: Google 'Anne Main' before she uses the ridiculous EU Privacy law to have all the stuff about her spending as much public money as possible on herself redacted.
I DO like these singers.
