he became obsessed with the idea of Africa after reading Tarzan comics and one New Year’s Eve he decided to try to make thejourney across that continent. Without funding or back-up, he worked hard for a year to raise the neces­ sary cash. He joked that working in


a bookshop, humping heavy volumes and walking every­ where to save on bus fares, was all the training he need­ ed. Cutting down on meals to economise also led to his becoming fitter, although he subsequently lost another four stone on the walk! He began his trek on the


Skeleton Coast and ended at Zanzibar after travelling 3,000 miles and taking ayear to do it. He followed part of the route of the Victorian


explorers, Livingstone and Stanley,walking through An­ gola, Zambia and Tanzania. After a fruitless attempt to train a reluctant donkey and a very unco-operative mule as pack animals he gave in and set off carrying his heavy rucksack himself. Warned about snakes, li­


ons and bandits, he managed to avoid all these hazards, even while camping out in a game reserve. His biggest fear wasgettingmalaria, but he caught it the day after he finished his marathon hike! He spoke warmly of the


kindness and friendliness of the people he met en route, especially the children who came to meet him at every stop wanting to be included in his photographs. Deliv­ ered at high speed and with plentyofamusinganecdotes, his adventure provided an entertaining afternoon: The next meeting of U3A


will be on Tuesday Octo­ ber 14th at 2-30 pm at the St Mary’s Centre, when David Thomlinson of Warburton’s Bread will give a talk entitled “The Staff of Life”.


Visitors browseamongtheshowtablesladen with exhibitsatBollandGardeningClubShow


Despite challenging weathers in recent monthsand the end of Hurricane Bertha, there were impressive exhibits at thisyear's Bolland Gardening Club annual show.


There were a large number of entries - all of which were to a high standard and together produced a wonderful display for members of the public to come and enjoy. The judges had a difficult

taskto decide which amongst the many exhibits were the worthy prize winners. Roger Dewhurst, himself


a regular prize winner in oth­ er competitions, judged the fruit, vegetable and flower classes. Children had been asked to bake cupcakes and make a “Mr Potato Head” on the day and a special wward went to Bertie and Phoebe for their creations. There were delightful entries in the chil­ dren’s classes, which gave the


judge Pat Cunningham, some difficult decisions. ' Visitors were assured of


an excellent choice of refresh­ ments, as Mrs Joan Cradock


and her team in the kitchen worked tirelessly to ensure


that tea and cakes were in con­ stant supply. After thejudginghad taken


place, Mrs Margaret Middle- ton, the former club chair­ man, welcomed the visitors and thanked all the exhibitors and the many sponsors of the show, together with the volun­ teers who had worked hard to make the day a success. She then presented the trophies fortheshow. She also thanked show secretary, Tim Charlton and chairman Henry Rown- tree for organising the event. Before the presentation of


the prizes, a lively sale of club produced plants, produce arid baking took place - rais­ ing funds for the continua­ tion of the show. Presentation of the prizes then took place and Margaret Middleton, pre­ sented the prizes.
