In your personal life, your need to be in charge could lead to disagreements, though you will tend not to bring confrontations out Into the open. Focus on joint finances and confidential agreements and push for a fairer deal all round. You will want to be the one with your hands on the reins of control but you will need to force yourself to share more.

Say ole to these super wines from Spain


NEW year, new wines, new awards - yes, besides being awarded the Northern Wine Merchant of the Year by “Which?” guide, Byrne’s also received the Spanish specialist award for the country. So as the country’s leading


Spanish merchants, I would like to recommend a few new wines we have just received. Firstly a new Rioja from


Vega del Rayo. This bodegas produces three modern Rio- jas sourced from the special­ ly selected vineyards mainly in Rioja Alta. Produced almost entirely


from Tempranillo the young wine VEGA DEL RAYO TEMPRANILLO 2001 (£4.39) has delicious vibrant red fruit and scorched earth characters, while the VEGA DEL RAYO VENDIMIA SELECCIONADA 2000 (£4.99) has an added smoky dimension from six months in American and Russian oak. Not only are these bril­ liant quality and exception-


with Andrew Byrne


al value, Vega del Rayo also produces a Reserva at £7.69. This is intense, with plums, black fruit and harmonious


oak. The second lot of new


Spanish wines we have comes from Toro, a region in the north of the country, right next to the Portuguese border. The small town is quite uninteresting and the only


reason you would want to go there would be to buy wine. And what wine - the town produces some of the coun­ try’s best value wines. BODEGAS TORRE-


DUERO produces three wines. VEGA LIZARDE JOVEN 2001 (£3.99) is a young, fruity, very easy drinking red, while VEGA LIZARDUTRES MESES 2000 (£4.39) has a vibrant bramble character with ripe red fruit on the nose and palate, integrated oak and gorgeous fruity on the finish. Lastly, MARQUES DE


PENAMONTE CRIANZA 1999 (£6.39) has a heady mix of smoky red fruit and dried orange peel on the nose, combined with more elegant red currant and raspberry fruit on the palate, delicious­ ly sweet yet weighty tannins and a long savoury finish. Toro fact - Christopher


Columbus took wines from Toro on his first voyage to America because of their ageing potential and their high alcoholic content.

Road safety group in winter weather warning to drivers


DRIVERS are being asked to think before s e t t in g out on the roads this winter. Lancashire County


Council's Road Safety Group is warning th a t bad weather can strike suddenly and severely and advises drivers to be prepared for the condi­ tions if their journey is necessary. They have also empha­


sised tha t gritted roads cannot be guaranteed to be ice free. Mr Richard Owens,


Senior Road Safety Advis­ er, said: "Motorists should plan their journey and check local travel informa­ tion and weather forecasts before they set off. "It is important to


adjust your driving to the conditions. Hail, heavy snow and rain reduce visi­ bility, so drivers should reduce their speeds and use dipped headlights. "The county council pro­


vides a great deal of infor­ mation on the roads that are gritted when icy weath­ er is forecast. You should never presume that these roads will be ice free, as the salt does not work instant­


ly- "It can take 10 times


longer to stop in icy condi­ tions than on a dry road. Drive slowly, allowing extra room to slow down and stop." Advice is also being


given on what action to take if you have to venture out.


is important that you tell someone what time you


Mr Owens explained: "It


expect to arrive. If you do get into trouble, remember not to use a mobile phone while driving. Stop some­ where safe or ask a passen­ ger to make the call. "If you are unable to


continue your journey, stay with your vehicle until help arrives. If you do have to leave your vehicle to get help make sure other dri­ vers can see you." The Road Safety


Group's top tips for bad weather conditions are: • In winter, it is even


more important to check that your vehicle is well maintained and serviced. • Ask yourself if your journey is absolutely essen­


tial? • Adjust your driving to


the conditions. • Watch out for fog - it


drifts rapidly and is often patchy. • Tyre grip is even more


important in wintry weath­ er so check tread depth and pressure. • Keep the lights, win­


dows and mirrors clean and free from ice and snow. • Make sure wipers and


lights are in good working order. •Use dipped headlights


and reduce your speed. • If you do get into


trouble on a motorway, it is best to use a roadside emergency telephone, as the breakdown/emergency services will be able to locate you easily. If you have to use a mobile phone, make sure you know your location using the numbers on the mark­ er posts on the side of the hard shoulder.


Top caravan concern given 25-year lease on the Edisford site


A CLITHEROE caravan site has been placed in the care of a “top-of-the- range” national organisa­ tion. The Edisford Bridge site


will be in the hands of the Camping and Caravanning Club Ltd - formerly the Camping Club of Great Britain - for at least the next 25 years. The organi­ sation has held a licence agreement with the bor­ ough since 1986. Members of Ribble Val­


ley Borough Council’s Community Committee agreed to offer the club a 25-year lease, with an option to extend it for another 15 years. Lease reviews every five years were also recommended, together with an annual rental payment of £5,500 or 7.5% of the site fee income, depending on which is the greater. The club has put forward


its plans for a major improvement and alter­ ation scheme at the site costing in the region of £300,000. I t proposes to construct a reception build­ ing, as well as refurbishing the amenity toilet/shower blocks, improve the wash- up area, extend the laun­ dry area and construct 20 hardstandings. At a presentation given


to borough council repre­ sentatives in December, Mr Gary Fletcher, the sites director of the Camping


and Caravanning Club Ltd, reported that more and more complaints were received each season about the site’s facilities. His report noted that the Edis­ ford site did not benefit from modern campsite facilities, despite its popu­ larity at weekends. Having described the


leaseholder as a “top-of- the-range” club, Coun. Graham Sowter (Billing- ton) told Community Committee members: “Clitheroe is a popular site, but it has fallen behind in terms of standards. This would be a major invest­ ment to bring it up to stan­ dard.” Coun. Paul Adnitt


(Clitheroe) said that at the moment the site was a “less than good” advertisement for the Ribble Valley and Clitheroe, adding that any improvements made there would be to the borough’s advantage. A report to members of


the Community Commit­ tee said that income to the authority from the site had been decreasing in recent years. It added that, under the terms of the new lease, with the Camping and Caravanning Club Ltd taking on all the repair and maintenance costs, along with the capital costs of extensive improvements, it was likely that the council would be in profit annual­

THE Clitheroe Chess Club A team won their away match against Hawks B from Burnley, despite being a player short. A multitude of tactics from Eric Mansfield gave Clitheroe their first win. . Ray Sutcliffe was unlucky to lose after a good

Ramblers’ trek past Grizedale reservoir


ON a cold, clear and crisp Tuesday, 28 members of Clitheroe Ramblers start­ ed a nine-mile walk from Garstang in the direction of the Bowland fells. The party first had to


cross the rail and motor­ ways on to Keeper’s Lane and go along paths and roads passing Bums Farm, where a coffee break was taken and welcome mince pies provided by, the leader’s wife, Doreen O’Donoghue. . The ramblers went:on


past Moor House in the direction of Oakenclough, but before reaching the vil­ lage turned north to Grizedale Lea reservoir, where lunch was taken fac­


f ,


ing the snow-covered fells. Nearby, large white sacks were being filled with heather brash and seed to be spread by helicopter over Saddleworth Moor, the party was informed. The walkers then went


down to Grizedale Bridge and along the brook through the wooded dale and past Grizedale reser­ voir,


; Throstle Nest Farm was


passed on the way to Woodacre Hall and then it was back to the start by the River Wyre, stopping to vilew the flood control system. The next Tuesday walk, . next week, is from Rath- '• mell.
