73 elephants, fire-eaters - parade was a real spectacle


ALL the masons on site were telling me how great the Perehara would be and that it is the biggest celebration in the Buddhist cal­ endar, although they tend not to go because it has become, in their eyes, “too touristy”. We managed to get accommodation and a bal­


cony view of the festival quite easily for the first night, and the party that followed lived up to my expectations. During the week before, I found out about a


Buddhist monk from Britain who had been prac­ tising in a Temple in Galle, just half-an-hour away.


He came to Hikkaduwa and gave us a talk on


the principles behind Buddhism. There are debates that will continue to go on for as long as Buddhism is around about whether it is a religion or a philosophy. I have grown to like the theory behind it all, but I'm not totally sold on many of its principles. At the Perehara in the mountain city of Kandy,


we had to arrive on our balcony four hours early to save our seats. We were originally going to take it in turns to “guard” the balcony while the rest of us went for something to eat. However, a takeaway around the corner was


taking telephone orders and delivering, and it was impossible to get through the crowds of people who had filled the streets, so we stayed and watched as the final preparations for the festival took place below us. Perehara is a celebration of the arrival of Bud­


dhism into Sri Lanka and focuses on the tooth of Buddha. There were 73 elephants used in this year’s Perehara, split into five groups, each repre-


B REGULAR readers have enjoyed following the adventures of Ribble Valley man Richard Hartley- Parliinson (pictured right), now nearing the end of a three-month visit to Sri Lanka, where he is help­ ing with the ongoing relief effort in the wake of the Boxing Day tsunami. The first winner of the Clitheroe Advertiser’s


Tim Procter Memorial Shield - presented annu­ ally to our most promising work experience stu­ dent - Richard (22), of Newton, plans to pursue a career in journalism on his return to the UK. Here is the latest instalment of his Sri Lanka


diary.


senting the colours of the Buddhist flag. White represents the tooth, yellow the skin, blue the hair, red the blood and orange the clothes. Between each parade of elephants are Kandyan


dancers, drummers, fire eaters and swordsmen. The tooth of Buddha is on the lead elephant and is kept in a golden casket. This is the most impor­ tant part of the parade and people stand as a sign of respect as it goes past. From the balcony, we had relative luxury. For


the second night we decided to watch from the street, which was quite a different experience. Again we sat for four hours waiting for it to


start, but in the meantime we made friends with mixed English and Sinhala (my lessons have been paying off). When you are sitting on the floor for four hours,


this is probably the most fun part because the concrete floor is not too easy on your back, so you just want it all to be over by the time it starts. We had a good laugh though, and amused the


children around us with whistles and trumpets we had bought the night before. It was great to have this experience while I was


out here and it made us actually feel part of Sri Lanka. It was also the last big group activity we will take part in before returning to our homes across the world. I am growing to love Sri Lanka more, and it is sad that soon we will be saying goodbye.


Walkers enjoyed magnificent views


CLITHEROE Ramblers enjoyed a sunshine-filled Tues­ day walk over Moughton Fell led by Mary Thorpe. From Austwick, the party of


28 members went along the Wood Lane track and then fol­ lowed the footpath via Jop Rid­ ding to the hamlet of Wharfe. Through Wharfe, they joined


the path up to the fields and, after a short steep climb.


reached the top of Studrigg Scar. It was breezy up there on the


edge of the crag, but a sheltered sunny lunch spot, with a good view of Ingleborough across the dale, was found. It was then an easy walk to


the summit of Moughton, although there is no visible path among the boulders and limestone pavements.

From the trig point, there


was a magnificent view for miles, crystal clear in the sun­ shine with the Three Peaks in the foreground. There were also views of all


the hills to the north, as far as Wild Boar Fell, with our own Pendle and Bowland to the south. The group managed to


avoid a tedious descent through juniper bushes and over fissured limestone pave­ ments by going down a grassy slope to the west and then con­ tinuing north along the Crum- mackdale rim of the crags.


Above Whetstone Hole


Spring they turned down a broad, grassy track to reach the dale bottom. There was a pleasant tea


break at rocky pool by the ford where the path crosses Aust­ wick Beck. This dub is where the farmers used to wash their sheep in former days. From there, the group


walked a pleasant one-and-a- half miles of field paths most­ ly downhill, to Austwick. All who took part agreed


that it had been a perfect day for walking, and in beautiful surroundings.

Cash for Brownies ... and domestic violence team too


TWO Ribble Valley organisations have benefited from funding provided by the Craven Trust. The charitable trust, vvhich awards


grants to groups in Craven and the sur­ rounding area, gave £200 to Grindleton Brownie Pack for arts and crafts materi­ als and more than £800 to Hyndbum and Ribble Valley Domestic Violence Team, during the last financial year. Mrs Liz Nelson, fund-raiser for the


domestic violence team, which offers counselling, advice and information, said that the money was used to buy up-to- date computer equipment. The Craven Trust, which has been run­


ning for 10 years, distributed more than £33,000 in grants to 50 organisations.
