Naturalists’ ramble in the Lune Valley
A SEVEN-MILE stretch of the Lune Valley Ram ble was enjoyed by a party of 21 Clitheroe Natural ists at the weekend. The group made its way
from Lyon Bridge, near Hornby, to Devil’s Bridge a t Kirkby Lonsdale. Lyon Bridge is the only
road bridge over the Lune between the Crook of Lune and'Kirkby Lons dale. I t is an ancient cross ing point which was guarded in times past by Castle Stede motte and bailey castle, the remains of which are still in evi dence. The beginning of the
walk was dampened by a steady drizzle, but by lunchtime, enjoyed in the surroundings of Arkholme Church, the weather had cleared. The old church was built in the bailey of another motte and bailey strongpoint, protecting an old ford across the river. The ramble on well-
established footpaths and tracks - and in one section near Holden on a permis sive path - followed the course of the River Lune. The woods and mead
ows were lush with sum mer growth and resonant with birdsong.
Altogether 51 species of
flowers were recorded together with many wood land birds, including gar den warblers, blackcap
•and willow warblers. Blackbirds, thrushes and chaffinches were in full song too. , One of the best attrac
tions of the walk was pro vided by the river itself and the views of the sur rounding landscapes: the Barbon Fells, Leek Fell and Ingleborough, their tops just shrouded in lift ing clouds as the day brightened. Birds about the river
were abundant. Dozens of oystercatchers nesting on the shingles or flying about calling to their off spring, graceful swans, restless sandpipers, a flock of seagulls chasing off a bold heron and, above all, hundreds of swallows and martins swooping over the water, all added to the pleasure of the walk. The next walk will be
next Saturday, June I8th, in the Dolphinholme area. Bookings for the coach, which will leave Clitheroe Interchange at 9-30 a.m., can be made by ringing Chris Pickles on 01200 421950.
Fire-fighters called in over electricity cable worries
FIRE-FIGHTERS were • called in to deal with an electricity cable problem in Main Street, Grindleton, on Saturday morning. Residents believe that
an electricity cable may have been damaged during work carried out on Friday. On Saturday morning,
homeowners heard loud bangs and crackling before sparks flew and flames leapt several feet in the air, causing much concern as the main gas pipe to prop
erties was in the hole which had been uncovered the day before. Fire-fighters quickly
closed the stretch of road from the Duke of York
, Hotel to Whitehall Lane until the United Utilities team arrived and isolated the damage. No residents were evacu
ated from their houses although several homes were mthout electricity all day until 5-30 p.m. when repairs were completed.
Meeting date change
A FULL meeting of Ribble Valley Borough Council planned for July 5th has been brought forward a day to Monday, July 4th. The reason is that the Local Govern ment ^Delation Conference, at Harrogate, begins on the fifth. The council meeting, to be held in the borough council

Steve ran marathon to help air ambulance

ACHIEVING a personal ambition to run a marathon enabled Clitheroe man Steve McCul lough to help a life-saving local charity into the bargain. Steve ran the London
Marathon in April in aid of the North West Air Ambu lance, the region's only air emergency service. Now, with his sponsor
money collected, he has presented the charity with a cheque for £1,400. Steve, who works for
Rectella International, took up running to avoid middle-age spread. “You don't have to run long distances to do this.

Stonyhurst plaque for top BBC man JUDGING by what we see on our TV
. screens, it is now “de rigueur” for male senior executives to appear with their shirts open at the neck and no tie. Even the director general of the BBC,
where at one time even radio announcers were required to wear formal suit and tie, has adopted the more casual fashion. But he did wear a tie when speaking at
the Churches’ Media Conference - a Stonyhurst College tie. The director gen eral, Mr Mark Thompson, was a pupil at the Ribble Valley college between 1970 and 1975 and is now among its most dis tinguished “old boys”. ' During the conference, held recently in
Derbyshire, he was presented with a Stonyhurst plaque by Fr Denis Black-

an opportunity to reaffirm the BBC’s commitment to religious broadcasting. A practising Catholic, he also said he was looking at creative ways in which religion could be incorporated into other pro grammes. The Churches' Media Conference is
designed specifically for all Christians involved with the media, such as media professionals, volunteers and students involved in the production and presenta tion of religious material. Our picture shows Mr Thompson, sport

Church entertains visitors from Redcar
SATURDAY was a big day and a busy one for the people' at Clitheroe United Reformed Church. Not only did they enter in
the spirit of the Clitheroe Sheepfest with their Make Poverty History sheep, but they invited 50 people from Redcar to come and enjoy Clitheroe’s Great Days events. The visiting group were
members of the East Cleve land Group of United Reformed Churches, where the Rev. Norma Johnson, the Clitheroe URC minister, was based prior to her move to Lancashire. Originally the party from
Redcar had planned to attend her induction service in Janu ary, but because of high winds and stormy weather on the day they had to cancel their trip. ,
