Taken on a scenic lecture trail


A CIRCULAR walk along the Pendle Way was the theme of an illustrated lec- ture given by Mr Ron


Jackson to Clitheroe Naturalists. Leaving the Pendle


Heritage Centre at Bar- rowford, the route started from Pendle Water, where John Wesley used to preach. Methodist chapels provided evidence along the way of the growth of Non-conformism and the wheeihouse at Bancroft Mill was an interesting example of the survival of local industry.


The journey continued via Wheets Hill, with pan­


oramic views extending from Ingleborough to Mal- ham and beyond. The Leeds and Liverpool (.’anal towpath formed the route


around Barnoidswick leading to the ancient


church of .St Marv-le- Ghyii. Turning from Thornton-


in-Cravcn to Karhv. the path led to Wycnller, via


Kelhrook and Laneshaw- liridge. Sides of the Clam anil Packhorse Bridges at Wyroller and the many varieties ot stiles encoun­


tered made good subjects for photography.


Mr Jackson surprised


his audience with a slide of Pendle Hill taken from


Blackpool Tower and there were some excellent slides of simple flowers, such as water avens and sorrel. He was thanked bv Joyce Wesinll.


‘ ’ The group's next event


is tonight, at Clitheroe Library, when Mr B. Uns- worth will lecture about badger trails.

Y O U R S T A R S


WITH J USTIN TOPER.


Check out what stargazer Justin Toper says is in store for you this week!


CAPRICORN (Dec 22 7? 0891 543 597


- Jan 20)


With the Sun well aspected by Neptune and Uranus in Capricorn, it s a case of greal minds think alike this


week. Only not everyone will be full of the milk ol human kindness as you will realise.


AQUARIUS (Jan 21 — Feb 19) a 0891 543 598


The influence of Mars in Leo tends to mono partners or other individuals fly off the handle. So don't make matters worse by arguing the toss this week when you can probably clinch a deal in privnle.


PISCES (Feb 20 — March 20) a 0891 543 599


Invitations lo travel or socialise ought to provide some escapism. More, you can run. but you can t hide as the Sun challenged by Mars in a couple of days will also remind you where your real priorities lie. ARIES (March 21 — April 20) a 0891 543 588


True, what is signed and sealed this week has lo boost your morale or bank balance. Yet one particular aspect this Saturday denotes some sour grapes.


Although, others will claim it’s nothing personal it's business!


TAURUS (April 21 — May 21) a 0891 543 589


No doubt, current aspects will add a sparkle to your affairs and your plans in general. Alas, due lo devel­


opments close lo home, this week may turn out lo be an anti-climax. But. dull it won't be. GEMINI (May 22 — June 21) 2? 0891 543 590 Don't try to run before you can walk or keep your feet


on the grounds now. However, in spite of any further set backs or reversals, you simply have to emerge a


winner and belter oil financially this week. CANCER (June 22 — July 23) 3 0891 543 590


You should be on something of a high this week Just because the Sun is at odds with Mars, you are


bound to encounter a certain amount of jealousy or resentment when discussing personal terms.


LEO (July 24 — Aug 24) 3 0891 543 592


You couldn't wish lor a better week to ring the changes, both at home and at work. Except with Mars in Leo you tend to become impatient and one swish ol your tail will make others regrel wasting your time VIRGO (Aug 24 — Sep 20) 3 0891 543 593

LIBRA (Sept 24 — Oct 22) a 0891 543 594


Cash and domestic matters are well starred And charity begins at home this week. But friendships and finances need to be kept strictly apart, ofhemise Tou will oniy end up feeling disappointed or out of pocket


SCORPIO (Oct 24 — Nov 22) a 0891 543 595
