White knuckle’ walk for Valley ramblers!
TWENTY FOUR hours after the mountain marathon, one of the tough-
- est endurance events in Britain, was abandoned due to horrendous weath er, Clitheroe Ramblers set off for the Howgills in Cumbria. . That also was to become an expedi
tion of endurance. Ben Brown led the 13-strong party
out of Sedbergh along lowland foot paths above the River Rawthey to reach the footbridge at Cautley. Lunch was taken at this idyllic.sppt,
with Great Dummacks and Cautley Crag dominating the scene. ■. . Here the walk started in earnest,
with the climb up to Cautley Spout, the name gitten to the main fall in a' series of waterfalls, with a vertical height of 700ft. and one of the highest in England.
■ As height was gained, the gradient
became increasingly steep over a grassy embankment and then up a series of rock steps.
. Progress was painstakingly slow, with a strong wind developing, while a short, sharp shower added to the diffi culty. ■
After the torrential rain of the. pre-
■vious-24 hours, the mass of; water cas cading down the falls was a sight and sound to behold. Above the falls, the gradient eased as a large sheepfold was passed, but the waterlogged path was stamina sapping and a breather was taken
just.below the coll on the sum mit ridge. From here, with breathing restored
to .something like normal, the Calf (2,200ft.), the highest of the Howgill mountains, was easily gained. There were fine views of all the Howgill tops and across to the Lime estuary, but there was cloud cover on the Lakeland skyline. With eyes watering in the strong wind, it was not a place to tarry long. As the walk continued along the ridge over Bram Rigg Top, Calders and skirting Arant Haw, a ferocious north west gale whipped across at right angles, gi'ving the walkers a real buffeting with more than one blown off their feet.; The wind eased as the lower ground
and Sedbergh were .eventually reached. It had been quite an experi ence!
A busy start to dairy sales
IT was a busy start to the October dairy sales at Gisburn Auction Mart with more than 50 newly-calved cattle on offer plus an entry of-23 dairy cattle from Myerscoiigh College. The new-calved heifer class was won
by Messrs .Comthwaite,' Garstang, with a very smart heifer sired by Garsby Light, which sold for £2,260 to N. W.
.and J. M. Coulthurst and Son, Goos- nargh, Preston. They went on to pur chase another two animals, a Paws PPB Roger Red PI sired heifer from Robert Phillip, Hellifield, Skipton, and G .
and J.
N. Booth, Darwen, and a second lacta tion cow sired by Comestar Leader for
£1,600 At the first weekly sale of the month, there was a. good selection of young stock on offer. A group of 14 bulling heifers from W. and E Peel sold quickly with three pedigree animals averaging £1,015, selling to livestock agent A. Greenhalgh on behalf of a client.'Eight young Holstein Friesian heifer calves sold to £400 from J. Shut- tleworth and Son, Rylstone, Skipton. Averages: Pedigree newly-calved
heifers £1,62 9 ;.commercial newly-, calved heifers £1,440; bulling heifers £843; heifer calves £314. The auctioneers were Richard Turner
and Son. ■S£J www.rcad e r trave lnw
