Midges fail to spoil day out
, - , ................
SATUKDAY dawned dry, but overcast and, hoping tor an improvement as the day pro gressed, 20 members of Clitheroe Kamblers met on the green in Keeth, Swaledale, for a 13-mile ramble up the dale. They left the village by Quaker Lane and

walked through the first of many wildflower meadows, mainly clover and buttercups. On the path above the Kiver Swale, the
party headed for Healaugh and just before the village caught the sound of a cuckoo’s repeated call from across the valley. After Healaugh, they climbed past
Thiernswood Hall on the bridleway to Sur render Bridge, negotiating the steep steps of Bleaberry Gill and passing an old lead-min ing smelt mill. The sun was now shining and the bridge
made a good picnic spot for an early lunch, except for a few troublesome midges. One of Swaledale’s main attractions is its
solitude, but not on Saturday! From Surren der Bridge to Gunnerside the walkers met wave after wave of panting runners and determined walkers, some of the 500 strong entrants in the Swaledale Marathon. Bikers, too were competing for a clear ride on the turf of Featham Pasture. The fine weather made for easy progress
and time in hand allowed the group to take a short break in Gunnerside for most of them to enjoy ice creams from the Smithy. Leaving Gunnerside behind, they took to

the meadows once more, through seas of yel low, between old stone push-through stiles, walls and barns. The next point of interest was the hamlet of Ivelet, famous for its high and narrow, hump-back packhorse bridge, which has carried traffic over the Swale for over 300 years. Pressing on, the group kept walking beside
the Swale, the penetrating call of oyster- catchers and sand pipers drawing attention to the birds themselves. Half way to Kamps Holme Bridge, the riverbank made another good refreshment stop. The party reached the bridge much earlier than leader Gill Morpeth had anticipated and the majority of walkers chose to continue along the river to Keld, while four tea-room enthusiasts walked to Thwaite, via the Muker Cafa However, wait ing for the 5 p.m. bus a t Keld was most unpleasant with midges by the million sur rounding the party. • : Back in Keeth, despite the hazards of the
day, everyone agreed it would take more than a marathon and midges to spoil a day out in scenic Swaledale.

GISBURN
Canals Guest speaker at the meeting of Gisburn WI was Mrs Julie Brandon, who gave a talk and demonstra tion entitled “Roses and Castles, the Art of Canals”.
Mrs Brandon began by giving a brief his tory of the canals and how the boats on them were used.
I
She said th a t during the Industrial Revo lution, many families gave up their homes for a hard life work ing and living on the canal. Their boat was both for work and family life. The wife would steer the boat, while the husband and children operat ed the locks.
A horse was used to pull the boat as engines were not introduced until the 1950s. Over a typical
working life of 12 years, a horse could have walked over 80,000 miles.
To brighten their boats, people started decorating panels with pictures of a castle surrounded by roses, a very distinc tive pattern.
Some 12 years ago Julie started painting
- herself and gave a demonstration of this beautiful art, show ing the techniques used for creating the roses and castles.
Following the vote of thanks, supper was served and the com petition judged.
The next meeting will be the annual outing on July 7th

At the crease On Sunday, Grindleton cricket team trav elled to Great Har wood, former stomp ing ground of Frank Ainsworth, whose face still beams down from many photo-
• graphs on the club house wall.
A larger than normal crowd turned up to watch the match, presumably to see if Ainsworth was still the run machine that made him one of Harwood’s favourite sons.
Buoyed-up after last week’s victory, Grindleton were con fident of putting on a good performance. The only cause for concern for the visi tors was when Phil Wilkinson opened his kit bag to find Mrs Wilkinson had inad- : vertently sent son Thomas’s cricket shirt instead of his own.
Despite valiant efforts : to prize the shirt on, i t was decided you cannot squeeze a quart into a pint pot. Skipper Crossland loaned Phil a more fitting piece of kit and the game was able to commence. Crossland won the toss and decided to bat first. The visitors were soon in trouble when Ainsworth was trapped Ibw in only the fourth over. The troubles continued as the top order col lapsed to leave Grindleton strug gling at 31 for four.
Skipper Crossland strode purposefully to the crease, deter mined to steady the rapidly sinking ship. Aided by Whittaker (33), Crossland began to attack the Harwood bowlers. Sumner, in particular, felt the wrath of Crossland going for 22 in one memorable over before being taken out of the attack.
The partnership had reached 60 when Whittaker was caught at mid-wick- et. Crossland soon followed, run out after reaching his 50.
At 117 for six and with eight overs left, the visitors were looking to post a score of

Pupils help animal shelter
THREE caring pals from Read Primary School have helped to raise more than £150 for a cause close to their hearts.
, Harriet Haworth-Lewis, Ella Hawthorn and Lucy Tuley came
- up with the idea of holding a bring and buy sale a t their school to help bring in funds for the RSPCA animal shelter at Allham. ’
Parents, pupils and staff were encouraged to bring items for the sale during break and lunch
around 150. Unfortu nately for them, Har wood brought Law Riding into the attack and the tall left arm spin bowler duly mopped up the fail, taking four for seven off three overs to skittle out Grindleton for 124.
After tea, Grindleton took to the field. An early wicket for Robinson gave the visitors the start they required, but despite tidy bowling from Briggs and Robinson Harwood continued to eat into the target set by Grindleton.
The score had reached 54 for one when Crossland brought Wilkinson into the attack. Once again the “Rhino” was able to make the required breakthrough, trap ping Law (31) leg
. before in his firsf over and taking a fine catch off his own bowling
to.remove Mack (29) in his sec ond.
Crossland, bowling in. tandem with Wilkin son, also chipped in with a brace to
time and the girls made £157.27. The money was accepted by Mr
- Ken Harrison, who is the branch manager'of the RSPCA Lan- cashire East.
School secretary Mrs Barbara Lincoln said: "'We encourage the children to come up with their own ideas for fund raising for a charity of their own choosing from time to time.”

reduce the home-side to 80 for five, putting Harwood under pres sure, which told when Raw took a fine catch behind the stumps off Crossland to remove Rogers (15), and Leach bowled Sumner (0) the following over. :
At 87 for seven Grindleton looked to have victory firmly in their sights.
A brief interval,; caused by the rain, allowed Harwood to re-group and Law Riding (15) and Szeezuk nudged the home side , slowly towards Grindleton’s total.
With 30 overs gone and the score on 115, Crossland brought Middlebrough and Briggs back into the a t ta c k . . Middle brough removed Law Riding with his sec ond-delivery and Briggs struck in the following one when' Szeezuk was caught by Crpssland at mid wicket.
With one wicket remaining and four runs required for vic
tory, it was an enthralling game. Despite beating the bat several times, the visitors could not get the final wicket they required and Har-
, wood stunibled over ; the finishing line to win a thrilling encounter.
