• SECOND epic cycle ride in South America has taken a Ribble Valley man’s total


sponsorship money for cancer relief to more than £14,000. ; . ' Mr Alan Roff, deputy vice-chan­


cellor of the University of Central Lancashire, is committed to the cause. He shows it in no uncertain terms by personal effort and a cer­ tain amount of dicing with danger. Mr Roff is a familiar figure as lie


cycles all over the Ribble Valley from his home at a well-known spot on the riverside near the Whalley-Billington boundary. But this latest fund-raiser, following a similar one two years ago, saw Mr Roff tackling far different con­ ditions as he cycled acreoss the Andes.. Most of the 65 other riders on the


trip were younger than his 50 years, though one was 66. They conquered exhausting heat,


mountains, torrential rain and very dif­ ficult conditions to ride from the Ama-

walks for Mr Ken Bayes from now on. ■ Retirement has ended


his days as PC Ken Bayes, the Hurst Green village bobby. But the villagers made


sure his 11 years’ service to the village as "an old-fash­ ioned policeman" did not go without a fuss. They took him out for din­


ner and presented him with two pictures which will remind him of the years he worked in their midst. Parish councillor Mrs

Starting in the jungle near Tena, the group cycled in temperatures which at times topped 100 degrees, cov­ ering 300 miles in seven days through rain forests, deserts, and banana planta­ tions, going over the Andes at well over 10,000 feet in near freezing conditions. The group cycled on to cross the


equator, encountering a day and night of torrential.rain before yet more extreme heat, and sustained attacks from mosquitoes and sandflies in the descent to the Pacific Ocean. The gru­ elling route was mainly along dirt tracks and small roads. Mr Roff says: "It was an incredibly


tough but also a very moving experi­ ence. Several of the group who rode with me had suffered from cancer them­ selves or had lost loved ones. So there was a real commitment to complete the


ride despite the altitude, the exhausting heat, the difficult terrain and all the ill­ nesses, which hit in the tropics. "Luckily, we had no trouble with


snakes, spiders or scorpions and most of the crash injuries sustained on the long downhill sections were fairly minor. We rode through jungles, banana plantations and deserts, camp­ ing wherever we could find a space that was fairly flat. "We kept going in the knowledge

feel privileged to be able to help Macmillan teams in their work in this small way.” A first-class maths graduate of


Oxford University, Mr Roff came North nearly 20 years ago and is a Blackburn Rovers supporter. He got back from South America just in time to be present for the team's cup tri­ umph in Cardiff. Mr Roff has already cpllected well


that our ordeal was a minor challenge compared to th a t faced by people fighting cancer. I just hope that, with the aid of my sponsors, I can help to make a difference to their lives. The support from friends and colleagues has been tremendous, and I have been moved by the number of people who have commented on the excellent work done by Macmillan for their friends or

over £7,000 for the charity from the trip, a little more than last time. He has had more than 250 personal dona­ tions and sponsorship from the Aspinall Arms, Mitton, HSBC, BT, Liquid Plastics and Calrec Audio. "I am very grateful to everyone who


has supported me," says Mr Roff. Contributions to Macmillan can be


made a t the Aspinall Arms, or by cheque (made payable to Macmillan Cancer Relief) sent to Alan Roff at Calder Cottage, The Marjorie, Billington, Blackburn BB7 9NY.


r LOOKING BACK


100 years ago


A RUMOUR concerning an out­ break of smallpox at Pendleton was found to be without foundation. However, quite a scare was created by an outbreak of 21 cases at Nelson, which had spread with alarming rapidity.


□ Langho was one of three places


recommended by the Lancashire Asy­ lum Board for a new site to increase asylum accommodation, considered greatly lacking in the county.


□ The local officials of the Soldiers


Eileen Belcher, one of those.. who organised the occasion at the Bayley Arms Hotel, Hurst Green, said: "He has - been a wonderful help to usJ' He is the sort of person who, if you tell him you. are going on holiday, you are more con­ fident about leaving your house empty. He has kept an eye on the traffic and ensured the safety of children crossing the road. He has always lived in Hurst Green and been interested in the village. He never seemed to be off duty. 'We are sorry to see him


go," she added. The affections have obvi­


ously not been one-sided. PC Bayes said: "I t has been a privilege to have

worked in Hurst Green. The people are marvellous. I shall miss them terribly." Blackbum-bom Mr Bayes


spent the last 11 years of his 28 years in Lancashire Police in the village. Previously he had worked as a community policeman among the Asian population of Blackburn. He chose the two pictures


the parish councillors bought him and presented to him amid glowing tributes on Monday. One is an old print of Hurst Green showing the


exact spot he often stood in at the centre of the village to provide conspicuous policing and another print, called "Nine Points of the Law", depicting nine policemen, each quaffing a cup of tea. "It has been an honour to


do the job. My time at Hurst Green has been the highlight for me. I was an old-fash­ ioned type of village police­ man,” he said. After only three years at


Hurst Green he was one of 45 finalists from all over


Britain in the 1994 Commu­ nity Policemen of the Year competition. Mr Bayes (53) is a former


Royal Engineer, who was an air survey technician before


joining the polide. A single man, he is staying

A NEW plan to spotlight the future featured a "new for old" rebuild affect­ ing 1,565 houses in Clitheroe. The scheme required a density of 11.6 homes per acre, so 740 houses could be rebuilt on the cleared land and new land of 87.2 acres procured for the balance of 825 houses.

came out of Whalley Abbey grounds and asked me not to use my two young volunteer 'ghosts' outside," says Mr Entwistle. "I was happy to


oblige, and the Whalley walks have gone on without the apparitions since then - it is not a problem for me and I can't understand why the parish council should be discussing it. "I don't know who the


man was, but accept entirely that ghosts are


not appropriate for the Abbey - as far as I knew, I was outside its perimeter, b u t I am very keen to respect people's views. There is plenty of other materi­ al in the walk." Neither the Rev.


Chris Sterry, Vicar of Whalley and Warden of the Abbey, nor abbey manager Mr John Wil­ son had heard anything about 'th e incident. However, both are keen to point out that ghosts and religious grounds


• do not mix. Mr Sterry says he is


an admirer of the walks and feels th a t Mr Entwistle's approach is the correct one, provid­ ed he stays outside church ground. "The abbey territory extends much further out than the main gate itself," points out Mr Sterry. "Either Mr Entwistle

at gunpoint, bound and gagged, and imprisoned underground in a disused laundry. He escaped by forcing out his gag, gnawing through the ropes tying him to a joist over the floor cav­ ity in which he lay and pushing aside building materials which had been laid over it. A local man was sentenced to 18 months’ imprisonment for a variety
