best of times, but with quite deep drifts at either side it was now little more than the width of a car aoross, and We had visions of having to climb on top of the snow if we met any traffic.


However, the situation didn’t


arise, and more than warm from our efforts we eventually arriv­ ed at the level stretch leading across Ewe Moor.


By this time the weather had


worsened instead o f getting bet­ ter as we had hoped, and it was raining quite heavily, so rather than face what was bound to be a muddy descent of Long Lane we turned off soon after Capon Hall and dropped down to Cow- side.


A short steep climb gave our


feet a chance to warm up until we came to the Rocking Stones, and then with brakes clamped hard on we navigated the steep descent with its hairpin bends to Langcliffe.


A couple of miles further on


lay Settle and it was there that we halted for tea before start­ ing for home, but we had only covered a few miles of the last lap when the gear on one bike decided to freewheel in both directions, and the next few miles to Wigglesworth were covered by walking the uphill stretches and c o a s t i n g the remainder.


Fortunately at Wigglesworth


help arrived from another mem­ ber who had been chasing after us, and apart from getting rather wet through hanging about we were still in fine fettle when Clitheroe was reached soon after seven o’clock.


On Sunday our rim takes us


to Ilkley, leaving Woone Lane at 9-0 a.m.

„ income of £8,600 was the record set up by


Clithcroe Parish Church in 1963. This works out at roughly


£165 per week, which, says the vicar. Rev. A. F. Clark, was mainly the result of giv­


ing. Structural alterations at the


Parish Church Hall, costing nearly £5,000, which had been budgeted for two years, meant that the church had to draw on its reserves. Despite the fact that a new


curate’s house and cottage had been purchased in Church Brow,


the church had risen above the heavy expenditure, and had ful­ filled its obligations to missions and the diocese of Blackburn, to which £1,000 had been given. The Increase in income is
