A- MAN who will-be remembered as a true gentleman and who devoted much of his life to ensuring everyrae could share; his.passion for th e . great"outdoors has died suddenly nn hol­


iday in Viethhm'..-?, Mr Frank Parrott


(72) was never happier. than when he was admir-:' ing distant views from.a' iriountain top, encourag­ ing others to indulge in his passion of cross­ country ski-ihg in the Austrian Alps or study­


ing maps planning his TIOvf" f-f-olr Whether in the Ribble


Valley, his beloved Alps or much further afield, Mr Parrott (pictured) was extremely knowl­ edgeable about his beloved countryside and, as initially a footpaths inspector and latterly area footpaths secretary for the Ramblers' Associ­ ation, knew and regular­ ly walked many miles of Ribble Valley routes. In recent years he had


been dogged by poor health but, despite numerous operations which eventually meant


the end of his long-dis­ tance walking and ski­ ing, he would regularly ride his bicycle into town from his home on the outskirts of Chtheroe. With his wife, Mrs


Pat Parrott, he had, planned this month's' holiday in Vietnam and was-' enthusiastically , looking forward to exploring a new country. Returning home yester­ day,‘Mrs Parrott said her husbaiid had been thoroughly enjoying his holiday and his last words had been, "tpday's been a good day, tomor­ row looks like being bet­ ter." It was not to be. He suffered a massive heart attack in the early hours. A Mancunian, Mr


Parrott was educated at Manchester Grammar School and Manchester University. As a young man he enjoyed athlet­ ics, particularly running, tennis,' mountaineering and rock climbing and was an active member of his Scout organisation. Later, he also helped the Clitheroe Grammar School Scouts in a num­ ber of ways, teaching dinghy sailing which was another keen interest.


and accompanying the troop on holidays. He also played an active role in the school's walking club, 'IThe Tramps," regularly taking pupils on walks, to the'Dales, the Lakes and occasion- allyNorth Wales. .He had a lifelong pas­


sion for classical music arid enjoyed dancing. After qualifying as a dentist, he jumped at the chance to practise in. the rural Ribble Valley. He spent 32 years in


the York Street practice of Bowker and Parrott, much of that time in partnership with Mr Kenneth Bowker. A former president of


Association, he was often called upon to give advice to members preparing to trek over­ seas, particularly in the Alps, where, with his wife, he was completely at home and had acted as a inountain ^ide for a local specialist tour operator.


Those'associated with ' ^


DalesRail and Burnley Mountaineering Club, two more organisations he enjoyed spending time with, were among the many shocked to hear of Mr Parrott's sud­ den death this week. A father of four;


the North-'West branch of the British Dental Association, he served on the Lancashire Family Practitioner Committee. His commitment to


the countryside led him to take a post as a volun­ tary warden with the Yorkshire Dales Nation­ al Park, as well as becoming a footpaths inspector and, at the time of his death, area footpath secretary. A founder member and for­ mer chairman of the Clitheroe Ramblers'
