one party se t out from the White Lion car park in strong gusts of wind to climb St Sun day Crag, via Birks fell, strug gling to remain upright on the summit and during the descent to Deepdale Hause. Here it was decided to return
to.the valley as the cloud lowered and heads were bombarded by hail stones, but while lunch was being taken the mist lifted and the sky brightened, so mem bers scrambled over Cota Pike and continued to the summit of Fairfield. As the group headed south
east along the ridge to Hart Crag, excellent views of the surrounding peaks and valleys ■ were enjoyed, though bad weather returned while leaving the latter summit. Members endured a constant battering of hailstones as they descended via the Black Crag and Gill Crag ridge to reach Deepdale Bridge. On the Saturday evening
'7i
members were treated to a communal meal, organised and prepared by Jane Pyzniuk and Dave Grosvenor, with addi tional courses being donated via the culinary skills of vari ous other members of the club. Committee representative Godfrey Metcalfe gave a vote
of thanks on behalf of everyone who enjoyed the feast. After a night of snow show
ers, a group set out from the hut in calmer, brighter condi tions to take the path to Boredale Hause. Heading southeast to Angle Tarn mem bers continued to The Knott, where steps were kicked in deep, soft snoiv to reach the summit. A long walk south in the lee of a dry stone wall took members along the summit plateau of High Street, where three ladies from Barrow Mountaineering Club were excavating a snow hole in which to enjoy their lunch. The p arty proceeded to
Thornthwaite Crag to stop for refreshment and then descend ed into Threshthwaite Mouth to reach Hartsop by Pasture Bottom, returning to the hut via a bridleway. The club’s next indoor meet
ing at Clitheroe Cricket Club, on Thursday, February 15th, starting at 8 p.m., will feature an illustrated lecture presented by Dave Marsh of the Search and Rescue Dogs Association. A day meet to Wild Boar Fell vvill take place on Sunday, Feb ruary 18th, leaving the council offices car park at 8 a.m. Regular weekly climbing
meets at Roefield and Ingleton climbing walls continue to be well-supported and new faces, regardless of experience, would be very welcome. For general inquiries about the club, con tact Nick Millward on 01200 441346.
Staying off the menu...
AN intriguing talk on “how to avoid being eaten” was pre
sented to Clitheroe Natural ists. Mr Malcolm Edmunds did
not refer to dangers to humans posed by lions or tigers, but concentrated on perils for other life forms.
He said that large animals
had few predators and had no in-built defence, while other creatures have their own meth ods for survival.
Mr Edmunds explained that
primary defences refer to habi tat or physical characteristics. He said an anchorite existence involved hiding in burrows or living underground and other methods include possessing
unpleasant smells or having spikes. Survival methods can also
Friendly and helpful staff
include camouflage. For exam ple a preying mantis can take on the colour of its background
and although zebras break the rules, their black and white can give a shimmering effect from a distance. Caterpillars use cam ouflage for attack, with the hawk moth able to resemble either a stalk or leaf. And coun tershading dark to light on fish depends on where it lives. Primary defences using
smell, ta s te or poison were shown with examples including the cinnabar moth which con tains cyanide and the stickle back’s spikes or those of porcu
pines. Mimicry can also be used as
with stick insects, while warn ings can also be given and but terflies bluff using tbe large eye patterns on their wings. The speaker was thanked by
chairman. Mr Frank Mason. The next lecture takes place
tonight at Clitheroe Library at 7-30 p.m. when Peter Smith will talk on “British Owls”.

More ‘Charity Chums’ join up to help special appeal
A GROUP of young people who come together to entertain and raise cash for charity is planning a new show. And “The Charity Chums” - as
they are known - has grown in number with two new members. Sisters Daisy and Poppy Hares-
nape, along with friends Jessica Shepherd and Georgina Coles, will be joined by Georgina Brewer and Rebekah Okpoti for their next charity bash to be held on Satur day. The evening’s entertainment of
music, song and dance, entitled “Wishing On A Star”, is in aid of the Make-A-Wish Foundation UK and will begin a t 7-30 p.m. at the Knowle Green Village Hall. During the past tew years the
charity-conscious group has raised over £1,400 for good causes. Speaking about their latest
event, the girls said: “We heard about Make-A-Wish and decided that we would do our next show to raise money fro them. “We chose this charity because
we think that children who have life-threatening illnesses deserve to have their magical wish granted during a difficult time.” Tickets for the show are priced at £5 tor adults and £3 for children
and there mil also be refreshments, games and a prize draw. Tickets are available by contacting Melody Haresnape, Andrea Coles, Zoe Shepherd, Julie Okpoti and Mari on Brewer on 01772 865864,01772
Secrets and spies...
SECRETS, spies and codes were involved in Ron Challen’s talk to Clitheroe and Dis trict Probus Club. Entitled: “The Ultra Secret,” he spoke
from first-hand knowledge of the activities at Bletchley Park during the Second World War. Here were assembled thousands of tal
ented men and women whose main aim in life was to break the codes used by the enemy, devise mis-information and all the time stop the enemy from realising their codes were being read. Among the band were well known names - Roy Jenkins, Enoch Powell, Malcolm Muggeridge, Alan Turing and Ian Fleming. The speaker acknowledged the huge debt
owed to Polish resistance workers who passed bn information and components which enabled the famous Enigma machine to be ,,______________ - reconstructed and the coded messages to be read. I t was not until
1974 th a t a book: “The ULTRA Secret”, by F. W. Winterbottom, lift ed the veil of secre cy surrounding the activities at Bletch ley Park. The speaker was
thanked by the Probus chairman. Cliff Astin. The next meeting
I
is in the normal venue, the Pendle Club, Lowergate, Clitheroe, on Friday February 16th, when Mr Brian White will talk to the title: “The Lan cashire Lad and His Ukulele”. Inquiries to 01200 429207.

Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, Thursday, February 8th, 2007 19 Vital work on popular footpath
A SECTION of a popular Clitheroe foot path is to close for six months for crucial • structural work. A 100-metre stretch of Clitheroe Foot
path No. 1, between West Bradford Road and Brungerley Park at Cross Hill Quarry (also known as Crossbills Quarry), will close with immediate effect. The path, owned by Ribble Valley Bor
ough Council and managed by the Lan cashire Wildlife Trust, needs re-surfacing and structural work. More than 100 people a day, including
workers a t nearby Castle Cement and Johnson Matthey Catalysts, use the path and will be affected by its closure. Other footpaths in the vicinity of Cross Hill Quarry will not be affected by the closure.
