Ramblers take to only circular walk open in brochure


KEEN ramblers from Clitheroe have had to


travel south for both of their recent walks. Clitheroe Ramblers tram tracks last used in


have visited Calderdale and also the Trawden area, for the only one of six circular walks in a new brochure published by Pendle Borough Council not to be closed because of foot and mouth restrictions. A larger-than-expect-


ed number defied a bad weather forecast for the 12.5 mile traverse of the moorlands and reservoirs of the White Holme and Warland Drains, led by Mr Ben Brown. The rain held off until


the very end, allowing fine views across the South Pennine hinter­


land. Walkers ascended the


40 darkened steps inside the tower at Stoodley Pike to enjoy a fine view from the highest point of


the walk. The Trawden route,


"Brontes in Pendle", led by Mr John Whitehead, initially followed the


1928 and visited the Lumb Spout waterfall. Lunch was taken at


the summit, Lad Law, 1,696ft. above sea level, and the walk continued into the Wycoller Valley. Members were full of


praise for the leaflet, except when they discov­ ered the walk was nine miles, compared with the 6.5 miles stated by the council leaflet. Their next walk, on


Saturday, is in the Hard- castle Crags area. Walk ers should meet at Chester Avenue car park at 9-30 p.m. and call Mr Peter Ratcliffe on 01200 427254 for further details. Tonight there will be a


talk, entitled "New Zealand - The Land of the Long White Cloud", by Mr Stueart and Mrs Anita Kellington, at the Conservative Club, Cas­ tle Street, Clitheroe, at 8 p.m.

do not forget to listen to" the opinions of children,


too. Further up the educa­ tion ladder, Lancashire


County Council can offer invaluable guidance to secondary schools and colleges. The council has a booklet available which


helps parents make the right choices. There is also valuable advice to be had from the county's education information service. When looking at a sec­


ondary school, once again consult your child as well as teachers, head­ teachers and parents. Some secondary


schools or colleges have specialist status, such as technology colleges. If


your child is interested in science or engineering or computers, these could be a good choice. If sport is a big factor,


or arts, again you need to choose carefully. Most Lancashire


county council schools are comprehensives, but there are some grammar schools, including one in Clitheroe, of course. Voluntary aided and


foundation schools are another choice, and admission to these is usually by direct applica­ tion to the school. Remember, too, that


some schools are over­ subscribed, so keep a sec­ ond or third choice of school handy.


Distance from school is a big factor, and educa- tion authorities usually prefer children to attend a school in their own area.


But if you intend sticking with public sec- tor schools and do not get your top choice, or even any of them,
