Memories of the Dales


IN July 10 stalwarts from Trinity Methodist Church, Clitheroe, walked the Dalesway — and recently they


were able to relive the experience! Their 90-mile journey from Ilkley to Bowness took


them six days and Steuart and Anita Kellington recorded their activities on slide film. With music and commentary, the slides were pre­ sented to a packed and appreciative audience in Trinity


Church Hall, bringing back many memories of the glorious summer and beauty of the Dales.
