around November 19 crowds of people converge on Paythorne in the hope of seeing the salmon on their wav to the spawning beds. Admittedly, I am no exception and have, during the past decade, made journey to this familiar bridge on Salmon Sun­ day.

when in t y p i c a l November weather we again headed for Paythorne we had the shock of our lives. Let me hasten to add th a t it was not the salmon which caused the shock. On the con­ tra ry never have I seen such interest and hope by so many


people. The bridge itself was crowded


and each parapet draped with bent figures as they hopefully gazed into the shadowy waters just below. Cars, walkers, and buses were strung along the road from the Toll Bar to the Buck Inn, at the village.


Now whatever your opinion,


you must admit th a t all this docs in no uncertain way reveal an encouraging tra i l in our make­ up. Most of us it seems have an inherent desire to observe the wonders of Nature, and despite disappointment will continue to go to great lengths to satisfy our curiositv. Unfortunately this year as a t other times, the salmon were no t co-opcrativc. and most people came away somewhat frustrated but determined to repeat the performance next


year. LOT OF LUCK However, as most naturalists


will agree, there is a lot of luck concerning these things. You mov repeatedly visit a certain spot to see a rare bird which has


Salmon Sunday we refer to the Sunday nearest to the 19th of the month. I t is around this time when the salmon are on their way io the spawning beds on the various tributaries of Ribble and Hodder and are also in the region of Paythorne Bridge. This however, as most people v. ill am-cc. is not a hard and fast rule and the salmon is not alwavs a t a certain spot a t a frjvcil time. On the contrary, salmon, like any other wild creatures are a lert to the possi­ bility of taking advantage of the rising river or stream. I f a spate occurs a week or so before mid- November then they take full advantage and pass upstream to the smaller tributaries. Obviously it was something of


Usually, when we speak of


tliis nature which accounted for inv unusual experience. I t took place at Slaidburn. The day. as you will recall, was pleasant, calm, and in a wav. typical of what wo imagine the 11th ought


to be.Shortly a fter lunch w h e n near Rock House, a fellow called to me from the brow, and. coming in my direction, said the salmon were very active ju s t by •■Brooklets" w h e r e Croasdale Beck tumbles over tile weir shortly before poining the Hod­ der on the flat pastures of Duck-


mire. Thirty yards from tile highway


you have a delightful view of the


shallow weir and rocks and can quite easily overlook the entire apron. The dron from the high


water level to low is not g r e a t - s


ten feet perhaps—and after slip-’ j ie


ling over the edge of th e weir shallow water passes some feet over a smooth sloping

How they had reached this point was mazing, for if you go a short distance downstream there is one of the fiercest waterfalls on this stretch of water.

a y I through the medium of your columns congratulate


the public-minded citizens of Clilhcroo. who a t last, are taking some active steps towards pro­ viding swimming baths in the

should have been taken half a century ago. the argument, by certain people in the town, th a t i t is too late to s ta r t building


baths now, is a week one. The cost has certainly risen,


but the need to teach children to swim has not lessened. The mere fact th a t swimming baths would also provide pleasure for a reasonably largo section of the community should not be over­


looked either. I t has been pointed out th a t
