LONG-DISTANCE charity cyclist Mr Chris Harrison let his curiosity get the bet­ ter of him during a five-week ride around the coastline of Ireland. The ride he had worked out to he 2,000 miles long eventually turned out to be 2,500


miles. "I took a few wrong turnings: I just could-


n’tiresist going down these narrow lanes," he said after his return to Chatbum, where he and his wife, Janet, own the Manor House


Nursing Home. After he returned, Mr Harrison held his


delayed 50th birthday party, at which* he asked his guests not to give him presents but to make donations to the East Lancs Hos­ pice for whom he undertook the cycle ride,.... He has already reached £2,0(J0 foil tjie


charity, with money still coming in. There were numerous small sponsors and a| major one, Aireshelta, a company selling inflatable buildings owned by Mr'Richard Bailey, son of Clitheroe's Mrs Laura Bailey., . And it hardly rained at all during his tourl


MISTED UP DOUBLE GLAZING! (B180902/4)


LUCKY charms may well be needed by this intrepid trio of Ribble Valley fitness instructors if they are to break the spell of Pendle Hill on Hallowe'en! At first light on October.


31st, they will leave the vil­ lage of Barley to begin th e . first of 10 planned consecu­ tive climbs to Pendle's high­ est point. Yet far from having been


bewitched to take on this marathon, they are doing it voluntarily in a bid to raise


. £4,000 to buy a heart start defibrillator machine. . The machine will be kept at the Ribble Valley Coun­ try Club, the leisure centre attached to Gisbum's Stirk House Hotel, where the three work. Hotel propri­ etor Mr. Malcolm Weaving is sponsoring club manager Mr Kevin Maree and assis­ tant manager Mr . Johnny Roe to attend a Leeds- based cardiac rehabilitation course, which will qualify them to teach f itness to people, recovering from heart attacks and all kinds of heart surgery.


Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, September 26th, 2002 From superstars to Valley injured


. A MAN who has been administering to the needs of the world's top 50 professional golfers will soon be available to treat Ribble


• Valley people with backache. Dr Richard Freeman is behind the first;


NHS muscular skeletal clinic.: - And, as if making history repeat itself, he


has acquired a house in Railway View Road, Clitheroe, which, until 20 years ago before the Health Centre was built, was a doctor's


house. Dr Freeman (42) will run the clime for the,


.Ribble Valley and Hyndbum Primary Care


Trust. .. It means that, instead of being put on a


hospital waiting list, those with ailments such as sporting injuries can be referred to Dr Freeman's clinic for specialist advice.


■ The qualified osteopath has been a GP in


Clitheroe since 1996 and he has always been interested in sporting injuries, being a keen cyclist and footballer. i He is academy doctor for Bolton Wander-:


ers and has recently returned from Ireland, where he was official doctor to the World Golf Championships m Kilkenny. .


; He had to deal with injuries and despatch to hospital three spectators when a golf


. buggy ran amok into the crowd just as Tiger Woods was about to tee off. And he will be on official duty this week during the Ryder Cup match at The Belfry. Dr Freeman has always had a special


interest in sporting injuries ever since he com­ pleted his research into the golf swing to gain his M.Sc. degree.


Says Mr Maree: "Having


access to a defibrillator may well save, someone's life. This is why we want to raise money for the machine. But as people are con­ stantly being asked to dip into


their pockets for all sorts of spon­ sored events these days, we felt that we had to come up with a fund-raising idea that was both truly challenging and unique. . "As far as we know, no one has


ever climbed Pendle 10 times in one day. We believe we can do it and hope that, on our last ascent, we will be joined by lots of Rib­ ble Valley Country Club mem­ bers."
