Sabden initiative clinches £1,000 community prize by Vivien Mason
THE Ribble Valley's first youth shelter has proved a winner not only with the youngsters, but also with judges in a Lancashire-wide competition. Sabden Youth Shelter,
which was handed over officially to its young care takers at the end of May, has won the £1,000 first prize in a Community Council of Lancashire competition. The criterion was for a
village to identify a need and then fulfil that need. Sabden had proved it fit the bill after the village's youngsters cried out for a shelter of their own, and even helped with raising

previous afternoon and night meant the path was under several inches of water and quite impass able, so the group had to change its route and go by road. On reaching Hanlith,
the walkers climbed up to Windy Pike Lane, where they paused to admire the views over Malham Cove and Gordale Scar before going to Weets Top where lunch was taken. Once rested and
m
refreshed, the group went over Hetton Common Head and down to Win terburn Reservoir, Way Gill, Winterburn Wood Farm and Winterburn. The ramblers then walked a short way along the road between Winterbum and Airton and were amazed to see fish on the road - some of them still alive. Winterburn Beck had earlier burst its banks and damaged and flooded the road, leaving the fish in water at the roadside. The group then left the road and went through another flooded field to Cowper Cote, Farlands Laithe, Calton and Air
ton. The next weekend walk
is to Castle Bolton on Saturday, June 17th, not Sunday as printed in the walks booklet. Anyone wanting more informa tion about the walk should ring 01254 823227.
