Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, Thursday, September 20th, 2007 51 divers achieve target w Classified Today € ; V of five wrecks in five days by Hannah Ramsden


A RIBBLE Valley diving club is c e le b ra t in g a f te r ra is in g more than £3,300 for charity as p a r t of a year-long fund-raising frenzy. . The Ribble Valley Sub Aqua Club,


a local branch of the British Sub Aqua Club, has organised a va rie ty of events over the past year, including a car boot sale, guess-the-weight-of-a-


;^ ’’ baby, Christmas and Hallowe’en events and collections, as well as a raf­ fle, garden party and treasure hunt. The proceeds of the events were


donated to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. But the biggest cash boost by far


came from the five wrecks in five days challenge. Organised by club member and


local police officer Roy Curwen, the task required five members of the club to dive five wrecks, in five countries in five days. The challenge was undertaken by


Roy himself as well as fellow club members Ed Howarth, Helen


■4I. iHowarth, Neil Potts and Ben Cur­ wen. The club's account of the trip,


which took them around the British Isles, follows.


Day 1 Treaddur Bay, Wales After wind gusting a t 70 miles an


hour recorded at the RNLI station in Treaddur over the weekend, the


weather had calmed considerably on Monday. The team was up and the boat in the water by 9-45 a.m. head­ ing off to the first dive, The Missouri. It was easy to find with a white shot


buoy. Ed and Roy dived, and found the shot was weighted down with a Singer sewing machine. Most of the ship's plates are now


lying on the sea bed but the boilers, several capstans, and wooden decking were to be seen. An underwater surge pushed the


divers around and tore at their fingers as they tried to hang on, but there was plenty of life to be seen with large wrasse, plaice and lobster. Returning to strike camp we head­


ed off to Holyhead to catch the HSS ferry to Dun Laoghaire. Monday night was spent in Round-


wood, the highest village in Ireland. The wind got up again and added rain into the equation.


Day 2 Eire We returned to Dun Laoghaire in


bright hot sunshine, but sea state of Force 4 beyond the protection of the shore meant that the diving condi­ tions were not safe and the planned dive was aborted. The boat had been launched and


then recovered on the old slip next to the original stone RNLI boat house. This is a very narrow stone flagged


slip and one of the more difficult slips to access. The local Harbour Garda took interest in our activities and,


once we revealed to them that we were not threatening, we were told that there was an easier slip on the other side of the harbour. We travelled north to Giles Quay on


Dundalk Bay for the night and sought refreshments in what had been voted Ireland's most popular pub.


Day 3 Northern Ireland Still in Eire, we found a wrecked


trawler close to shore in Carlingford Lough, and have claimed it to replace Tuesday's missed dive. With no name visible, Roy named it The Benjamin. In the afternoon we headed for


Ringhaddy in Strangford Lough and the Alastor which is lying at 21m in a natural harbour. Many different yachts and barges are moored here requiring care for divers swimming out into the lough. This wreck is a former motor yacht


which was requisitioned by the Admi­ ralty during the Second World War, but which caught fire and sank at its mooring in March, 1946. A cable has been laid to the wreck


making navigation easy; all you had to do was remember to take the left fork where the cable split. Many different types of crabs, all


with their own covering of a film of silt scuttled across the sea bed and oyster and scallops shells were lying around to encourage gastronomes. The wreck is still intact with holds,


funnel, and 'derricks to see, while becoming encrusted with wildlife. We hurried off to Lame to catch the


4-30p.m. ferry to Caimryan and the long haul to Largs. Beware! the ferry company does not like fuel carried on their boats other than in an internal tank which can be interesting for your rib's supply!


Day 4 Scotland The plan was to dive the Akka ini­


tially heading from Largs marina, but a quick check on the map found Kip Marina much closer and a more shel­ tered trip out to the wreck that is sit­ ting in the middle of the Clyde. She is covered in deadmen's fingers, orange and white plumose anemones and tiny jewel anemones. : The visibility was only about 2m-

ANYONE who wants to try out diving can attend a "try dive't session organised by the club at- Clithcroe Swimming Pool on September 27th at 9 p.m. To arrange a “try dive”


contact the club's train­ ing officer, Ed Howarth, on 07836 217511 or you can email him at: ed.howarth@rvsac.org -


and we stayed at about 20m for the dive.


EXHAUSTED, but happy the team arrives back in the Ribble Valley (s) After a wonderful, but quick shower


in the marina, we set off for the long journey to Whitby and for the final dive, the Rohilla. Arriving just as i t was going dark,


we pitched the tents and hurried across the fields to Robin Hoods Bay to snatch a pub supper two minutes before they finished serving.


Day 5 England A bright calm and sunny day, we


rose early and drove to the marina to launch the boat before the tide left the slip exposing the deep surrounding mud. We slowly pootled out of the har­


bour, and met large rolling seas. Once again the sea state beat us and although a lovely calm day (as evi­ denced by the whole team going out!) . a storm earlier in the week out in the North Sea made diving impossible. We returned to the harbour and


watched a display of skills by the RNLI crew as they took the lifeboat out through the now-crashing waves. After puzzling over how we could achieve our goal of five wrecks in five days in five countries, we came up with


the obvious solution. An inland site! So we split up and two raced over to


Capemwray to catch the last dive on the Gypsy Moth and the others wait­ ed for the tide to turn to recover the boat on the once more submerged slip. We were disappointed not to dive


the Rohilla, as this was a ship requisi­ tioned during the First World War as a hospital ship. She ran aground in the dark, and


over the next two days six lifeboats from the surrounding area attempted to rescue the 229 people on board. Four silver and three gold RNLI medals were awarded to the crews for this res­ cue. In addition there were some 15 peo­


ple from the Bamoldswick Ambulance Brigade on board. As some of RVSAC members are from Bamoldswick it was felt to be a fitting climax to the week's fund- raising efforts. With one or two slightly bent rules,


the team of five managed the five wrecks in five counties in five days and qur grateful thanks go to the various harbour masters who assisted our fund­ raising with waived launching fees and to Capemwray for the inland site.


Merchant group invites seafarers past and present


LANDLOCKED as it is, the Ribble Val­ ley has a thriving crew of Merchant Navy seafarers, both male and female. Captains, engineers, deck officers, radio


officers, chief stewards and Able Seaman are among its branch members, while oth­ ers have long since come ashore to take up other occupations or to retire. Whatever their current status they


have one thing in common, they are all members of the Ribble Valley branch of the “Merchant Navy Association”.- Founded in November 2001 with only


16 members, the branch has expanded to its current membership of about 40. Assembling on the third Tuesday of


every month, the crew meets at 8 p.m., at the New Inn in Clitheroe. During meetings members discuss issues


of both past and present relating to the Merchant Navy. Many members served at sea during the Second World War and sev­ eral other conflicts since and have some very interesting and courageous experi­ ences to relate. Others were more fortunate and sailed


during peace time, looking after much of the country’s import and export require­ ments. The Ribble Valley branch comes under


the umbrella of “The Merchant Navy Association National Executive”, which has many branches around the UK and also some worldwide. Large amounts o f ' information is channelled via the National Executive and from other branches ensur-


• ing that all are kept up to date with sea-7’ faring issues. Some members attend national commit-


tee meetings and parades around the coun- ^ try and locally to ensure maximum repre- £§) sentation of the local branch at all levels. Two members have given talks about the |g Merchant Navy to pupils at local schools. Mr L. K. Beardmore, a member of the ^


organisation, explained: “On the social front we have speakers from all walks of life, videos, plus annual excursions. Then | | we have endless stories both fact and some — tinged with a hint of fiction that members relate. So, to all Merchant seafarers, past -4- and present, come and join us.”
