Diamond Jubilee Beacon - Lions - Midhurst 2012 - Hópsöngur - Krýningarafmæli Englandsdrottningar 4
Count down - and the amazing lighting of the Diamond Jubilee Beacon. Það var haldið upp á 60 ára veldistíma Englandsdrottningar 4.6.2012 með því að halda keðjubrennur eða Beacon sem þýðir á Ensku brenna sem sést í ákveðna vegalengd og þar tekur við næsta brenna og svo koll af kolli - alltaf hægt að sjá á milli þeirra eða bjarmann frá þeim - þetta var gert drottningunni til heiðurs og voru yfir 4000 brennur kveiktar kerfisbundið víðsvegar um heiminn. Hérna er bálkösturinn sem ég sá og var hann að mestu leiti hlaðinn úr trjágreinum og var holur að innan enda fuðraði hann hratt upp eftir að kveikt var í honum.

The Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II is a multinational celebration throughout 2012 marking the 60th anniversary of the accession of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom to the thrones of seven countries upon the death of her father, King George VI, on 6 February 1952. She is today queen regnant of 16 sovereign states, 12 of which were British colonies or Dominions at the start of her reign.
Queen Victoria in 1897 is the only other monarch in the histories of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and a few other Commonwealth realms to have celebrated a Diamond Jubilee.
Lighting up the Diamond Jubilee: Spectacular beacons are lit in Britain and the rest of the world to honour the Queen's 60 years on the throne.

The song Rule Britannia: Soprano: Renée Fleming -
Possibly the most British song ever written: Rule Britannia!. Composed by Thomas Arne in 1740 this tune was originally part of a masque, a baroque courtly festivity somewhere between an opera and a costume-ball, about Alfred the Great, but soon developed an independent life of its own.

Midhurst is situated in the Wealden Greensand, which lies between the South Downs and the Low Weald. The town is located in the Rother Valley: the River Rother flows east-south-east to join the River Arun near Pulborough, from which point the river flows southwards to reach the sea at Littlehampton. The name Midhurst is likely to relate to the area and to predate any nucleated settlement. The Old English form means the place in the middle of the hyrst (i.e. wooded hill) or the place among hyrsts. Evidently pre-Conquest in origin, the name is first recorded in 1185.

SWC Free Walks 151/152, Lenham to Ashford.1/7/12
Another 'two-for-the-price-of-one' here as the walker combines two 'Greensand Way' walks into one of around 15.5 miles. Starting out from Lenham station, there's a fair bit of road walking initially, albeit on a quiet road, but the walker soon reaches Boughton Malherbe and The Greensand Way. This provides for some delightful walking through 'Darling Buds' scenery of orchards and meadows right through to Pluckley (duplicating some of the 'Pluckley Circular' walk) and beyond. The path is joined by The Stour Valley Walk shortly after Little Chart before arriving at the 'New Forestesque' Hothfield Common; there's even wild ponies to add to the resemblance.
At Great Chart, the walker leaves The Greensand Way to follow The Stour Valley Walk through urban Ashford and on to its station.
A lovely walk along one of this walker's favourite paths, The Greensand Way. The beginning and ending of the walk are quite hard on the joints, but the rest of the walk more than compensates!
