Holiday, a camping meet was held at Wool- er, in Northumberland. Due to the weather reverting back to wintry conditions, mem bers were able to experience at first hand why the area is frequently used for demanding endurance events like the Kar- rimor mountain marathons. On Saturday the group took a long walk to the head of Harthope Valley to reach Cam Hill, where the Pennine Way was followed to reach the summit of the Cheviot. An undulating ridge walk taking in the tops of Scald Hill, Broadhope Hill, Cold Law and Steely Crag led back to the starting point. Overnight rain persisted into Sunday, so
the party headed out to the coast at Sea- houses to enjoy a wind-blown walk along the coastal path with clear views of the Fame Islands and the lighthouse made famous by Grace Darling’s daring rescue. On Sunday, members set out in heavy

Invite to new DEFRA boss
THE MP for the Ribble Valley has invited the new Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to visit local farmers. Speaking from Westminster, Mr
Nigel Evans said: “I have written to the Rt Hon. Hilary Benn MP and I am very hopeful that he will take me up on the invitation. “I also spoke to him in the House
recently and congratulated him on his new’ and important role in Gov ernment. “The Ribble Valley has a large
farming community and their busi nesses have been suffering over the
last few years. “I t is a subject that I have raised
on many occasions in the House and I sincerely hope that if Hilary is able to visit, the Government’s under standing of the issues facing local farmers will be increased.”

AN organic orchard has been plant ed by budding gardeners at a Valley primary school. Green-fingered members of Brook-
side School’s gardening club raised £100 to buy some saplings for their
outdoor area. And this week the pupils enjoyed the fruits of their labours, planting pear, peach and apple trees. Once a week garden club members gather after school to develop and
care for their organic patch. They have already sown peas,
bean, lettuce, carrots, blackcurrants and strawberries - among the many varieties, and are now waiting to enjoy the harvest. These plants were
bought with money from the Com munity Champions and the Health and Well-being fund. School governor Mrs Pauline
Wood organises and runs the club with help from parents.
She said that next year the club
hopes to get its own greenhouse. Our photograph shows garden club members starting work on their
organic orchard. (B120607/5)
