Sponsored walk in 20 sections will revive ancient tradition and raise charity cash


RIBBLE Valley Mayor Michael Ranson is to revive an ancient custom by walking the bor­ ough boundaries to raise cash for charity.


He is to “beat the bounds” by walking Ribble Valley’s 85-mile boundary during his mayoral year. He will under­ take the trek in 20 sections,


ranging from four to six miles, and has already completed the first section last week. And he is inviting Ribble


IN THE NEWS SPORT


Valley residents to join him in the walks and raise cash through sponsorship for his chosen charities for his year in office - Ribble Valley Cross­ roads Care and Homestart Ribble Valley. Coun. Ranson said: “Ribble


Valley is one of the most scenic and picturesque boroughs in thecountry and I am delighted


to be walking its boundaries during my mayoral year. “I hope to put a modern


twist on this ancient tradition by raising money for my cho­ sen charities and invite resi­ dents to join me in any or all of the walks.”


The walks have been de­


vised by Ribble Valley Borough Council’s health development officer Barrie Williams. The 20 treks cover different sec­ tions oftheborough boundary and a reasonable level of fit­ ness and mobility is required to take part, although at least one of the walks will be ac­ cessible to mobility scooters, pushchairs and wheelchairs. The first walk, which took


place last Wednesday, June 4thm, covered the section from the Gamecock pub in Whalley Road, near Great Har­ wood to Sabden.


Forthcoming walks are: June 25th Nick of Pendle to


DownhamjJulygthDownham to Rimington; 16th Rimington to Gisburn; 23rd Paythorne to Tosside; August 6th Tos- side to Gisburn Forest; 20th Coat Rakes, Gisburn Forest, to SkaitheRoad, Gisburn Forest. All walks start at 5 pm and


are linear, so participants are asked to make car-sharing arrangements. A full pro­ gramme is available at ribble- valley.gov.uk or from Barrie Williams on 01200 414484. • “Beating the bounds”


is an ancient custom still ob­ served in many English par­ ishes. Its roots go back to mediaeval times when par­ ishes reaffirmed their bound­ aries by processing around them, stopping at each bound­ ary mark to pray for protec­ tion and blessings for the land.

Veteran rambler Pat Parrott enjoys a stroll in Royal gardens


A date with Her Majesty the Queen was enjoyed by Clit­ heroe Ramblers veteran Pat Parrott and her companion, Val Grooby. It was a memorable day


for Pat, who was invited to rub shoulders with royalty at Buckingham Palace’s garden party in recognition of her services to the community, 50 years of work in the pro­ tection of footpaths and pro­ vision of access in the Ribble Valley countryside. Travelling down to Lon­


don by first class train, in all their finery, Pat and Val, who is an active and supportive footpath worker, arrived at Green Park Tube Station in viewof the palace, with guests already arriving and queuing up all along Constitution Hill. They were soon admit­


ted and spent about an hour walking around the gardens in warm sunshine, amongst


Pat in the grounds o f Buckingham Palace


some of the best-dressed peo- ners. Val and Pat tried hard pie in England. All the ladies not to be intimidated by be- wore beautiful hats, or the ing amongst such elegant new-fashioned fascinators, company, the men in morning dress At 4 pm, the national an- with grey top hats or tail suits them heralded the arrival of withblacktophats,or elegant the Queen and the royal party, suits, frequently worn with including Prince Phillip and ties or waistcoats to match Prince and Princess Michael the outfits of their lady part- of Kent and other members


of the royal family. Pat and Val were not themselves presented to the Queen, but took their places amongst the crowds lining her route to get a close view of her approach to the Royal Tea Tent. The Queen was tastefully


dressed in lilac and looked lovely, as did the overseas visitors to the diplomatic tea tent, many resplendent in their national costuihes. Three bandswere playing
