House on Sunday, October 14th. The organising committee would wel­


come more people to come forward as pre­ liminary judges and anyone interested should contact Jeanette Lowe for more information on 01257 481415.


i Mountaineers aim high


SEVENTEEN members of Clitheroe Mountaineering Club attended a popular weekend meet at Low House climbing hut in Coniston. On Saturday a group of three headed for.


JOHNSTON - NOLAN


ENGLISH and performing arts teacher Suzanne Frances Nolan married Steven Alan Johnston in Co. Mayo, Ireland. Miss Nolan, the only daughter of Mr J.


Eric Nolan and Mrs Margaret Nolan, of Wilpshire, teaches at Bowland High School. The bridegroom is the elder son of Mr Derrick Johnston and Mrs Geraldine Johnston, of Hoddlesden. The venue for the bride and bride­


groom’s informal wedding was chosen due to the bride’s great -great-grandfather originating from there. Accompanied by her father and three


bridesmaids, Heather Taylor, Catherine Hewitt and Alex Green, the bride walked to the church in. The best man was Heath Higginson. Family friend Fr Michael O'Neill, parish


priest from Clayton-le-Woods, officiated at the ceremony. The buffet was provided by a local pub


and restaurant and was served in the large self-catering bungalow which the bride­ groom's parents had hired for their stay. In the evening the wedding party


attended an IrishNight at the local public house. The day before the wedding, the bride­


groom and three of the 26 wedding guests took part in the traditional climb up St Patrick’s holy mountain, Croagh Patrick. A second reception was held in England


two weeks later, at .the newly-weds' home in Clayton-le-Dale, where the "Irish" wed­ ding party joined with the wider circle of family and friends to celebrate the wedding and enjoy some more "craic".


Dow Crag, hoping that the weather would be dry enough to climb the classic Mur­ ray’s route, which weaves its way up 74 metres of rock on the crag’s “B” Buttress. Despite lowering cloud, strengthening wind and spots of rain, the party reached the steep, polished slab whose crossing forms the crux of the climb, then contin­ ued via a series of chimneys, grooves and hand traverses to end the four pitch route at Easy Terrace. As the sun fleetingly appeared, the


group scrambled down the terrace to the foot of the cliff to pack up their gear, then climbed to the summit of Dow Crag and followed the curving ridge above Goats Water to reach the summit of Coniston Old Man. A descent of the mountain’s south ridge brought the party back to Walna Scar Road and Coniston. • Another, larger group set out from the car park on the Walna Scar Road to com­ plete a trio of classic rock scrambles. After sealing the south ridge of -The Bell, mem­ bers climbed up the course of Low Water Beck to reach the tarn, which is the source of the stream. Finally the party continued scrambling up the slabby face of Brim Fell to reach the summit, gaining 1,400 feet of vertical height. Here some members continued to the


summits of Swirl How and Wetherlam, whilst others explored the level tunnels of Coniston Old Man’s abandoned slate mines, guided by the club’s mining expert, David Taylor. Other members also enjoyed rock


scrambling on Great Carrs Buttress and long, mountain walks over Coniston Old Man, Brim Fell, Swirl How and Wether­


lam: On Saturday evening everyone was


rewarded for the day’s exertions, being treated to a wonderful, communal, four- course Indian meal, kindly prepared by
