Sunny day for walkers despite


all the mud! LAST week the Clitheroe Ramblers walked from R o ch ­ ester via Greengore to Hurst Green and returned along the


RibbleWay. After all the rain, the 18


members who took part met some muddy condi­ tions underfoot. However, it was one of the few days this summer when the sun shone all day and the walk­ ers were able to enjoy some excellent views. On the outward journey,


the party paused to admire the almshouses in Stydd, built in the 18th century for five widows or spinsters to live in "with coals and a small allowance." The walkers also passed


out that this had been built by the Knight Hospitallers who had played such an important part in the Cru­ sades to the Holy Land. From Stydd, the ram­


blers continued up Duddel Brook and North West via Carlinghurst and Higher Hud Lee to Greengore, before turning south down beautiful Dean Brook to Hurst Green. After lunch the walk


continued south down Lambing Clough Lane to join the Ribble Way before following a route across field paths for the final mile back to Ribchester and the end of a thorough­ ly enjoyable walk. The Tuesday, September
