Armistice Day, the group decided to extend an invita tion to Mr Ratcliffe to talk to the Cub Scouts about his experiences as an infantry man on the Normandy beach es.
Mr Ratcliffe, who lives at
Farnworth, near Bolton, is chairman of the North- West branch of the Normandy Vet erans' Association. He joined up with a local
regiment, the Loyals, in 1942, but was in hospital when it was sent to North Africa. He
was then posted to the Durham Light Infantry, with whom he went first to Sicily and then, at the age of 21, took part in the landings on Gold Beach, Normandy, on June 6th, 1944. He talked to the Cub
Scouts about his experiences in the front line and gave a moving account of the casual ties his unit incurred. He also amused the youngsters with some of the .lighter moments of military life. He was supported by his
son, Alan, who showed the group a selection of wartime memorabilia. In the picture with Mr

Valley retreat wins top regional tourism award
A CONVERTED property in Chipping has won a prestigious award. Wolfen Mill Country Retreat, a
300-year-old building, took the gold accolade in the Self Catering Holiday of the Year category a t the North West Tourist Board’s Chairman’s Award 2003. The awards ceremony took place
on Monday at the City of Manches ter Stadium. The retreat, based in the Forest of
Bowland, was converted into nine fully self-contained cottage style properties providing four to five star accommoda tion. When selecting the winner, the
judges looked for catering establish ments which boosted business by mak ing the most of their distinctive appeal, and also those that had made improve ments to attract new and repeat busi ness. Mr Anthony Goldstone, Chairman of
the North West Tourist Board, said: “Wolfen Mills Country Retreat is situ
ated in an area which was affected by foot and mouth disease, which meant farmers had to diversify to survive. “It was bought in a rundown state
and renovated by its owners, who want ed to create employment in the village in the aftermath. “Wolfen Mills has created quality
accommodation for tourists to stay in, which, in turn, generates money for the village. It is a credit to the industry.” The Ribble Valley’s excellence in
tourism was further recognised as silver accolades were awarded to the Coach
House, Clitheroe, in the Self Catering Holiday of the Year category, and The Forest of Bowland, in the Great Days Out category. Mr Goldstone, who is due to retire in

Chairman at a time when the quality of our Regional tourism product is second to none.

A ramble through limestone country
SETTING off in pale autumn sunshine, 18 members of Clitheroe Ramblers left Buck- den, rising on Buckden Rake to join field paths to Cray. The stepping stones across Cray Gill were
negotiated as the group continued on undu lating paths through classic limestone coun try to Hay Close. After a brief stop above Cray Gill, the walkers continued above Hub- berholme and Rais Woods, with clear views over Wharfedale, before dropping down to Yockenthwaite to continue along the Wharfe. Stopping for lunch close to an old stone circle, the walkers sheltered from the cool breeze. The walkers continued to Deepdale Bridge before returning to Yockenthwaite and on the
Dales Way to Hubberholme. Four dippers were seen on the way back. At Hubberholme, some of the group visited
the quiet old church and found mice carved in the pews by the artist Robert Thompson. Continuing on field paths, the ramblers
reached Buckden in time for tea and cakes at the cafe there. For details of further walks, telephone
01254823290.
... and another one over Beacon Fell
ON a fine Saturday morning, 14 members of
Clitheroe Ramblers set off from Beacon Fell car park. After a short walk through pleasant wood
land, they emerged onto an open hillside and made their way to Crumbleholme Fold. Fol lowing field paths via the now closed Cross Keys public house and Lower Trotter Farm the walkers made their way to Gill Wood and Brock Bottom, a picturesque valley alone which the Brock flows. Walking upstream admiring the coloura
tion of the beech leaves, they stopped at the picnic site a t Higher Brock bridge for lunch. As they continued upstream many pheasant were seen as the birds are reared in this area After bypassing Boggy Wood by walking
on the road for a short while, the ramblers stopped for another break in the beech woods
near the archery range used by the nearby Scout camp.
- < The stream side was left at Gill Bam Wood
and the Beacon Fell road was reached via Wickins. Bam and Heatherway Farm. After a short climb, the trig point on Beacon Fell -
