met in Bamoldswick to walk to WeeH Hill.


The route then went uphill steadily, even­ tually taking the


Pendle Way footpath


up to the summit trig point.


There were good \iews


of pastureland, as well as old and new industry, but the high peaks of Yorkshire and Lancashire were obscured by low cloud.


A path then led down to the traffic free Gis- burn Old Road and still following the Pendle Way signs led down hill to the gate to Lister Well Road, another old track. Lunch was taken here during a respite from the rain and with shelter from the wind.


Another short road walk led to a path down to Booth House Farm and Peel Close and after cross­ ing the road, a path took the group by Dye House Farm uphill to Letcliff Country Park. A short walk through the park went back to Barnoldswick via the town square.


Continuing along the rough track, a foot­ path to the right led past Copy Nook with views over Foulridge reservoirs and the moorland above Kel­ brook down to the road adjacent to the Fanny (Jrey pub.

The proof is in firm’s jackets and trousers


by Faiza Afzaal


A MULTI award-win­ ning Whalley business, which caters for people who just like the idea of being warm, has added another award to its bulging trophy cabinet. For the third consecu­


tive year, Whalley Warm and Dry has excelled in the “Paramo Premier Retailer of the Year” competition by scooping the runners-


up position (winner 2004, runner-up 2005 and 2006). Paramo is a popular


British brand, widely recognised for the high quality, high performance, highly breathable and very comfortable waterproof jackets and trousers it manufactures. Paramo’s Premier


Retailer Programme is a nationwide initiative to recognise and support high levels of customer service and advice, plus the retail­


er’s knowledge of and com­ mitment to the Paramo brand. Run by proprietor Jon and his daughter, Liz, Whalley Warm and Dry beat strong competition from more than 200 other Paramo retailers across the country to pick up the prestigious title. Now, to mark the


achievement, customers are being invited to a sum­ mer sale extravaganza, with lots of special offers and big reductions


throughout the shop. Speaking about their


delight at winning yet another award, Liz said: "We are really pleased to receive this award again and would like to thank all our customers for their continued support, this reflects their loyalty to us and to the Paramo brand." Anyone requiring fur­


ther information about the Paramo brand is asked to contact Liz or Jon on 01254 822220.


Naturalists enjoy summer’s day


ON a beautiful summer’s day, 25 members of Clitheroe Naturalists left Stainforth village car park to walk the short distance to Stainforth bridge, a single arch bridge spanning the River Ribble. From there they fol­


lowed the river to view Stainforth Force, a series of attractive waterfalls. The p a r ty then fol­


lowed a rising track head­ ing in the direction of Smearsett Scar, a lime­ stone outcrop, where views of Pen-y-Ghent and surrounding country­ side were clearly seen. The path descended


into the hamlet of Feizor where lunch was taken. The party then walked on a continuing moorland path towards Giggleswick Scar. Here a prominent


pathway undulates across the scar towards a large quarry. The path follows the


perimeter fence of the quarry and eventually descends into the village of Giggleswick, past the ancient, 500-year-old, St Alkeda Church and the 17th Century Gig­ gleswick Public School where the five-mile walk ended.


Three non-walking


members enjoyed a day at Malham Tarn before rejoining the rest of the group. In total, 55 wild flowers


were recorded including mountain pansies, rock rose, milkwort and ox-eye daisy. The next walk is to


Kendal. Booking is essen­ tial via Jean Trotter on 01200 428117.


Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, Thursday, August 10th, 2006 13 Flower towers over grandson


A DROP of Guin­ ness and a bit of tender loving care has had a remark­ able affect on the sunflower plant of a green-fingered Rib­ ble Valley grandfa­ ther. Derek Blamire,


who lives with his wife Sylvia at Three Rivers Country Park in West Brad­ ford, was presented with what started out as a 2in. tall sunflower plant by their five-year-old grandson Lewis Michael Giles, of Blackburn. The plant was re­


potted from the plastic cup Lewis had been growing it in at school and six weeks on, it now measures a stagger­ ing 8ft. 6in. tall. Sylvia said: “His


granddad’s been feeding it on Guin­ ness and we’i'e had to fasten it to a lamp post because it’s got so big. Lewis can’t get it back to Blackburn now." Our picture


shows Lewis witli the sunflower plant, (s)
