THE destination for Clitheroe Ramblers was Glenridding on the shore of Ullswater in the Lake District. As the weather forecast was for


gale force winds, th e a sc en t of Helvellyn via Striding Edge was out


of bounds for that day. The way on to the to p s was by way of the Greenside Road past the youth hos­ tel and the site of Greenside Lead Mine. - This was the biggest and most


successful mine in the Lake District with a history spanning many years


from around 1690 to 1962. On to Whiteside and the slopes of Helvel­ lyn Lower Man where, after lunch was taken on the lee of the hill out of the wind,' the decision was taken to retrace the steps over Whiteside and on to Raise. The party led by David Taylor


proceeded down to the old smelt- mill chimney, which is more than one kilometre long on the hillside from the Greenside Mine. After searching the mine soil


heaps for traces of minerals the group headed back to Glenridding for a welcome cup of tea and cakes.

The unbeatable deals continue - But not for much longer!

[3%. Burglary in dwellings had been


reported to be down by 24%, which equates to 44 fewer offences in the past 12 months. There has been a dramatic reduc-

CONSERVATION volunteers who work in a.Whalley wood showed off their skills to Ribble Valley visitors. The Friends of Spring Wood group held


their annual open day earlier this month. The group, which meets on the first Sat­


urday of every month, carries out conser­ vation work within the woodland. Building a bird hide accessible to wheelchair users, creating an outdoor classroom, planting a wildflower meadow and hazel coppice, and clearing brambles are just some of the proj­ ects recently undertaken by the volunteers. The aim of their open day was to gener­


ate interest in their work and attract poten­ tial volunteers to join their number. Ranger Paul Shoreman said this year’s


event, which had included bird and bat box making, guided walks and a woodland quiz, had been very successful.' He added that anyone interested in. find­


ing out more about the Friends of Spring Wood group should ring him on 01254 825187.

• (A070505/5a) • In the footsteps of J.R.R. Tolkien


FILM fans are being given the chance to walk in the footsteps of “Lord of the Rings” creator J.R.R. Tolkien! The Rotary Club of Clitheroe is inviting


friends and family to join them for a spon­ sored walk on Sunday, June 12th, around Hurst Green, where the author spent much of his time writing. The 5.5 miles leisurely walk will start and finish at Hurst Green Village Hall. The cost will be £5 per head (children


under 12 a t £2) with proceeds going to S i^ t Savers. Walkers are also encouraged to organise their own sponsorship. Certificates of accomplishment and light refreshments will be available in the Village Hall on com­ pletion of the walk. Walkers may start the


walk at any time between 10 a.m. and noon following registration at the Village Hall. Tolkien, his wife and children, regularly


stayed a t a guest house in the grounds of Stonyhurst College. Their son, John, who was studying for the priesthood at the Eng­ lish College in Roine, was evacuated to the Jesuit seminary at St Mary’s Hall (now the preparatory school for Stonyhurst College) during the Second World War. J.R.R. Tolkien spent much of his time writing, both


at the guest house and in the College itself. The closing date for entries is May24th.


Further details and entry forms can be obtained by contacting Mr David Bleazard


' of the Rotary Club of Clitheroe on (01200) 444388.


CLEARANCE


ringing us up and informing us of the number plates of suspicious cars or any suspicious incidents. “In a big rural area like the Ribble


Valley, police officers cannot be everywhere and we rely on the public to help us catch the culprits. “I t is very difficult to detect people


that kick wing mirrors, scratch cars, take their anger out on bus shelters and telephone kiosks. “We are particularly looking into


this, however we need the public to show us their support by being extra vigilant and reporting acts of vandal­ ism." Insp. Ford praised police officers


and staff for their enthusiasm and commitment and stated th a t extra community beat managers and police community support officers had been


drafted into places where they can make a real impact. In addition, Ribble Valley Borough


Council’s Crime and Disorder Reduc­ tion Partnership Officer, Mr Bill Alker said th a t according to the British Crime Survey, Ribble Valley featured in the top dozen safest places in the country. He added the borough was the


safest place in Lancashire to live in and the second safest in the North West. • A Quality of Life day will be


held at Ribble Valley Borough Coun­ cil Chamber on Tuesday between 2 and 8 p.m where people will get the opportunity to learn about how the council works with a number of organisations in a bid to reduce crime.
