Ramblers’ two-day trek


CLITHEROE Ramblers completed the West Craven Way, a 24-mile walk encir­ cling the whole of the West Craven area around Bamolds- wick, Earby and surrounding villages. They completed the route


over two days, spread over two weekends. The first day was damp and overcast. Although there were no big climbs, it was a demanding walk and proved enjoyable. Setting off from Salterforth,


the towpath of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal was followed for about a mile, then from Mill Hill Bridge,-field paths were crossed to pass through the farmyard at New Hague. The Lancashire Ghyll was


followed and then crossed to reach Cob Lane, where a concessionary path led to Throstle Nest. The group climbed up and traversed Great Edge, but were robbed of the expected views as the day was overcast. After a short break, the group passed through Scald Bank Farm, where llamas were seen, and then went through the gar­ den at Harden Clough. Leav­ ing the Pendle Way, a mini switchback through the field led to Procter Heights. The final part of the walk


followed the Pennine Way at first on Cam Lane and then with more undulations to reach the canal at Langber Hill and finally past St Peter’s


Church to finish opposite the Cross Keys at East Marton. The second day was blessed


with much better weather - blue skies and sunshine and splendid views throughout. Skylarks and curlews were


back on their nesting territo­ ries, with celandines the most prolific of the spring flowers on display. Although slightly longer than the first day, the going was easier underfoot, with less ups and downs and just one significant climb. Starting at East Marton,


Ingthorpe Lane was followed to Ingthorpe Grange and then over Cranoe Hill to the road near Gledstone Hall. This was followed by easy walking on a good track past Marton Scar to Horton Pasture and along Rakes Lane to Horton. Stock Beck was crossed to


reach Bracewell, where lunch was taken. Field paths were then followed past an attrac­ tive “reservoir”, hidden in the trees and onto Brogden Hall and Coyerdale to Coal Pit Lane. There was some loss of height on Old Gisburn Road to Starr Hall all of which was regained on the climb up to the farm of Duck Pond, with its large sculptured heads. It was then downhill virtually all the way via Higher View and Moor Side to the road and through Letcliffe Park to the canal and back to Salterforth. The walks were led by Jane Donnelly and Ben Brown.

A FLOCK of origami birds, made from the pages of withdrawn books, is “flying” high m Clitheroe Library. Every year many books are withdrawn


from the shelves of the libraries as they are worn and damaged. They are sometimes salvaged through book sales, if not they are disposed of. Inspired by many artists who now use second-hand hooks to create artworks, artist Justine Cook was commis­ sioned to create the artwork of origami birds. The main inspiration for the piece is the flight of fantasy a person takes when


reading a book. Justine’s inspiring previous work has been displayed at the RHS Tat- ton Flower Shower, Liverpool’s Bluecoat Art Centre and the Clitheore Castle Well Commission based in the Atrium Cafe. As well as the library display, Ribble Val­


ley high schools were invited to work with Justine to create their own flock of birds within their own schools and libraries - creating inspiring flights of fantasy around the borough. She visited Ribblesdale High School, Clitheroe Royal Grammar School and Rowland High School, Grindleton.


Working with the pupils, she introduced them to her practice and the new commis­ sion at the library, followed by a practical session creating the origami birds from a pre-designed pattern. The class then created their own flock of birds that could be installed within the school. ■ IF you would like the origami bird pattern to create your own flock, then contact Katherine Rodgers, arts develop­ ment officer at Ribble Valley Borough Council, on 01200 443071, or e-mail: arts. developrnent@ribblevalley.gov.uk

It's important to consider that the cash sum provided by the plan is fixed so its value may be reduced by inflation.
