V.,. owners of nearby • Stubbins Vale


- , caravan site. A planning applica- ■


; Blackburn, gave an insight into TV’ programmes such as “Flog.It”; and


• the “Antiques. Road Show”. The

'Cl;


Mr Blackburn, who has his.own an­ tiques business, offered to talk about several items visitors and members offered him. There were some surprises as to the value of treasured posses­ sions and even one or two disap­ pointments. Mrs Enid Boyd-Martin expressed thanks to Mr Blackburn.

: by all. Proceeds of a raffle and a jewellery and scarves stall were


; for “Galloway”, to enable visually impaired mem­ bers to access Hot

GLENRIDDING, on the south west­ ern shore of Ullswater, was the start­ ing point for Clitheroe Mountaineer­ ing Club’s June day meet. Leaving the car park, members


headed up to the picturesque view­ point of Lanty’s Tarn, whose waters were somewhat depleted by the con­ sistently dry weather, and over into the valley o f Grisedale. Here the party followed the path up the valley to just beyond Elmhow Crag where a steep, zig-zag track led eventually to the base of Pinnacle Ridge, a grade three scramble, on St Sunday Crag’s rocky western buttresses. After locating a small cairn to the


‘


left of a gully, members scrambled up a series of spiky blocks to a large, can­ non-like rock, behind which they were confronted by a short, steep wall. Tliis was climbed via a vertical groove on good holds to reach the ridge’s ex­ posed crest, where an awkward de­ scent to a narrow notch led to the fin­ ishing climb up a staircase of blocks to heathery slopes beneath the moun­ tain’s summit, the scene of a danger­

Great three-day ^strolF


SEVENTEEN members of Clitheroe Ramblers have completed the North Bow- land Traverse, a 30-mile linear walk from Slaidburn to Stainforth. Thev took a leisurely three


days to complete the route, which includes 3,250ft of as­ cent and manages to avoid all settlements other than farms and tiny hamlets. A minibus dropped the walkers off and collected them at the end of each day. Ben Brown, who led the


walk, writes; “There were splendid views of the Bow- land Fells on the first day as Dunsop Head was traversed to reach Whitendale. A large number of green hairstreak butterflies were seen on the moorland with their wonder­ ful camouflage, the resem­ blance to the leaves on which they rest making them ex­ tremely difficult to see. “This was not to be the end


of the nature highlights, as lat­ er in the day three lucky peo­ ple saw the rare sight of a male hen harrier briefly performing its spectacular courtship dis­ play, known as ‘skydancing’, while someone else almost trod on an adder. “The plateau of Proctors


Moss was drier than usual but still claimed two victims, one falling in the bog, while a sec­ ond left a boot in the morass, eventually retrieved. After lunch the second major climb of the day was up to the Horn­ by Road at Hard Hill Top, where five miles of mainly downhill walking on the an­ cient track brought the party


ROCK ON: the Clitheroe Ramblers at the Great Stone of Fourstones, which has a “staircase” cut into it for an easy ascent, (s)


down to the isolated farm of High Salter, in Roeburndale. “On the second day, the


journey on the minibus to High Salter was as enjoyable as any of the walking. Scare­ crows lined the streets of Wray for the festival and the journey down the narrow road through Roehurndale provid­ ed breathtaking views; “The wide Hindburn Val­


ley was crossed, with lunch taken in an idyllic spot beside


the river Hindburn. A visit was made to the little High Tatham Church, after which the Great Stone of Fourstones was soon reached. Steps have been cut into this huge erratic and a climb had to be made to the top for the wonderful 360% panorama and a few photo shots. Then a contour along the northern edge of Burn Moor led onto Mewith Head, the end o f the second stage.


On the final day, the route


continued its easterly journey through Eldroth and Lawk- land to Feizor, where Elain- es’s Tea Rooms provided vital nourishment before the jour­ ney’s end at Stainforth. “It had been a truly memo­


rable three days of walking, with good weather for the most part, outstanding views throughout and the wonderful (..im.ii adei ic of the gi oup
