Quiet in Clitheroe after the charge of the wart-hog


After being thrown 15 feet into the air by a charging


wart-hog, having caught many poisonous snakes and having had many hair-raising experiences with rhinos in the African bush, 24-year-old Iain Logan was this week


spending a quiet two days in Clitheroe. Scottish-bom Iain has lived


in Kenya and South Africa for most of his life and this week he was at the Cattle Breeding Centre in Whalley learning about modern methods of stock- breeding.
