“I r em em b e r the first time I stood under the overhanging wall of Roefield’s rock climbing room”, writes ELLA WARDLE (pictured), a pupil at CRGS Sixth Form. During a week on work placement at the


Clitheroe Advertiser and Times,' Ella wrote about her rock climbing experiences. At only nine the walls towered over me,


the strong smell of chalk filled the air. As a child I’d climbed trees, walls, furniture, often resulting in the inevitable cuts and grazes, but now I found myself standing looking up at the near vertical walls and eye­ ing the precariously thin looking rope I was now attached to. As I began to place one hand above the

unexpected bonus and added to the enjoyment for everyone. The event, which is now held annual­ ly, was well-supported by vin­ tage tractor enthusiasts around the area, with 28 tractors setting out from the Steam Fair Field, on Green Lane, and more joining along the way. Two trailer loads of passengers and several cars also went along for the fun. The 35-mile route meandered


along country lanes and Ribble ■Valley villages to Tosside, where an excellent hotpot lunch await­ ed at the Dog and Partridge Hotel. After the lunch break, the cavalcade went off-road along the tracks through Gisburn For­ est before returning to Chipping via Slaidburn, Newton and Dunsop Bridge. As usual with old vehicles,


there were one or two break­ downs along the way, but vin­ tage tractor enthusiasts of all ages are handy with a spanner and soon rallied round to get thinSiaoving again. - T S fy ea r ’s event was organ­


ised by Stuart Marginson and raised funds for the North 'West Air Ambulance. Donation buck­ ets along the route and a gener­ ous donation from the Steam Pair Committee resulted in £700 raised for this w o r th y cause. Thanks were expressed by the organisers to all who took part, supported and helped in any way. to make the event so suc­ cessful. ;


ATTENDING to u


breakdown in Grindiclon village, (s)


other on the brightly coloured holds, I found all my feelings of nerves and anticipation vanish. Fear was replaced by feelings of excitement as I saw the top coming into reach. That was nine years ago and climbing still provides the same thrill and sense of achievement on reaching the top as it did then. Living in the Ribble Valley provides everyone with great opportunities to climb both indoors and out. Roefield Leisure Cen­ tre has enviable facilities suitable for all lev­ els and ages, and with Witch’s Quarry just down the road from Clitheroe providing


among children, as it provides a fun and social way to get fit. Climbing is also a safe way to exercise


which may come as a surprise to some. Climbing equipment is the safest it has ever been and as long as the knots and techniques are taught well from the beginning, it is no more dangerous than many other sports. It also constantly offers new challenges to everyone and the chance to improve and progress all the time, with different tech­ niques to learn and a variety of planned routes to climb, each carrying a varying degree of difficulty. : For the more daring climbers there is also


challenging climbs as well as spectacular views, there really is no excuse not to have a go.


Despite this, many people don’t take rock


climbing up as a hobby. This is often because they know little about it due to its lack of coverage or celebrity status. However, climb­ ing has become more popular, especially


Bouldering. This is where a climber scales a rock face without a rope, and using just technical ability and strength manoeuvre themselves up the wall. Although this pres­ ents more danger it too can be carried out in the safety and relative comfort of the indoors. Roefield has a wall devoted to Boul­ dering with thick mats to catch anyone who , falls. The wall itself is built to replicate an actual rock face, with a rough surface and limited places to hold onto and pull yourself up, adding to the challenge. So with th e se fa c i litie s right on our


doorstep, it seems a waste not to take the opportunity to get fit and enjoy yourself in a way you may never even have considered..


Rachel’s future in the media


PURSUING a career in Journalism is the ambition of Ribblesdale High School pupil Rachel Stevens (pic­ tured). During a week’s work placement at the Clithcroc


Advertiser and Times she wrote about how she is set­ ting out to achieve her goal.


media, to composing imaginative fantasy stories. It was evident to my parents that I belonged in the world of media - and at the age of 15 ,1 can say that they are right. Being ambitious, I have decided to motivate


E


myself to achieve the most desirable grades I can. I plan to study A-Levels in English, fine art and graphic design hopefully at CRGS sixth-form cen­ tre. To gain a better knowledge of the qualifications


needed to pursue a career in journalism, I discov­ ered that any degree is acceptable, but having a degree in journalism can create a good impact. • It is fact that around 80,000 journalists work in


the UK in regional newspapers, broadcast news organisations or central government departments. Newspapers, magazines and broadcast journal­


ists convey information to the general public. Increasingly people use the Internet to shop, meet new people and even read the papers.


- During my time at the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times, I experienced the hectic, yet fulfilling life of a journalist and it s different a spects. I was impressed.


. 'The ability to work independently has given me


further confidence in my writing. The experience was an opportunity for me to acquire new skills and I have certainly achieved that. The reporters were very welcoming arid I cannot


thank them enough for allowing me to come and work alongside them for the week.
