Step back in time for ramblers
SEVENTEEN Clitheroe Ram blers led by Jane Donnelly set out from Scout Scar car park above Kendal on an overcast Sunday morning. Their route went north along
Cunswick Scar and then downhill towards Kendal. After crossing a footbridge over the Kendal bypass, field paths were followed into the town. The walkers crossed Stra- mongate Bridge over the river Kent and climbed up Castle Hill to Kendle Castle. The castle’s elevated position
gives views on all sides. The moat and ruined curtain wall enclose the remains of towers and a manor house. The castle was the home of the ruling barons of Kendal from the 13 th Centuiy. The Parr family lived there and it
was the home of Catherine Parr, the sixth wife of Heniy VIII. Lunch was taken inside the cas
tle when, fortunately, the sun came out and the weather remained clear for the rest of the walk. After descending Castle Hill, the route crossed a footbridge over the
Kent and then followed the river at first through built-up areas and then through fields. Bird life was prolific on the river, including duck lings and two herons. At Prizet Farm the walkers left the riverbank and climbed uphill to cross the bypass again, this time without the help of a footbridge. 'The path continued climbing
steadily through the fields until arriving at Helsington Church, which is a fantastic viewpoint. The Lyth Valley is spread out below with Amside and the Kent estuary, Whitbarrow and the Lake District hills all in view. After a short stop for refresh
ments and to enjoy the view, the party continued along Scout Scar with splendid views all the way. Cowslips and early purple orchids were growing on the banks. At the mushroom-shaped viewfinder the group paused to identify the distant tops and then continued back to the car park. This walk, with its histor ical interest and outstanding views, covered new ground tor some of the group.,

Camera club ends on a high note
MEMBERS of the Ribblesdale Camera Club ended the mnter season on a high note by attending the annual dinner at the Moorcock Inn in Waddington. Guests of honour were former chair
man, Dr Alasdair Carter and his wife, Yvonne. Dr Carter recalled the highlights of his
time as chairman of the club nearly 20 years ago and was delighted to see both some old friends and a larger number of new faces. He congratulated the club on its suc
cess over the years and was pleased to see a wide range of winners of the various competitions. Presentation of the cups and awards
came next, with Ken Geddes winning three trophies, while Steve Ashcroft, Mike Caddy, Jeff Cowling and Denis Kendal received two each. Mike Bartle,
Joan VTiittaker, John Fletcher and Dean Weaver each won one trophy. The final presentation was by chair
man Jeff Cowling. This was for the “(Jor don Creighton Plate” for the member who had contributed most to the club in the previous year, and is decided solely by the chairman. The very popular winner of this was
treasurer, John Bradley, who had worked so hard to stabilise the club’s finances at a time when costs of insurance and fuel were rising sharply. From next week the club’s summer programme starts. For information con tact Jeff Cowling on 01200-440868. Guest of honour. Dr Alasdair Carter,

Youngsters hitting the bottle!
CHILDREN at Wadding ton and West Bradford Pri mary School have netted free sports bottles - thanks to an initiative by United Utilities to mark World Water Day. The company gave
schools across Lancashire the chance to log on to the Internet to apply for water bottles as part of the day - which this year focused on how water is critical for the environment and vital for everyone’s health. One of the many schools
to benefit is Waddington and West Bradford Prima ry school. Sharon King, from Unit
ed Utilities’ corporate responsibility team, says they were inundated with requests from schools - with the first application coming in just minutes after the offer began. Sharon added: “The
response was absolutely amazing Mth schools from Carlisle to Congleton log ging on to the offer. “We thought World
Water Day was the perfect opportunity to encourage youngsters to drink more water and scores of schools will be able to hand o u t bottles to all their pupils. “The great thing is that
you can pour around 40 glasses of tap water for just Ip, so children can fill up and quench their thirst time and time again with out costing their parents a fortune.” United Utilities has been working with schools in the region for five years to pro mote tap water for drink ing. The company also offers bottles free to chil dren visiting their network of Environmental Educa tion Centres around the region.
