  • 2019 ALPINE-ALPINE TOUR CLASSIC CAR TOURS (MK) Will Be
    2019 ALPINE-ALPINE TOUR CLASSIC CAR TOURS (MK) will be organising a circular tour of the French Alps in September 2019. As an SAOC member myself I would like to invite the club to participate. I will be able to offer a preferential rate for SAOC Members. We have organised several tours in similar areas in the past so have driven most of the roads and stayed in many of the hotels. However, as Eric Morecambe would have said; “We have driven all the right roads, but maybe not in the right order”, therefore we will be visiting the area this summer and driving the roads ‘in the right order’ to iron out any potential problems and re-visit the hotels to ensure they are upto standard. We tend to use 4 star hotels where possible but in more remote areas it may be a case of taking what is available. The planned itinerary is below but is subject to amendment after our summer recce. The exact dates may also be subject to the availability of the hotels. The mileage each day will be between 150 and 200 miles on all types of road. There will be numerous mountain passes with steep climbs and hairpin bends. On the days where there are lots of passes, the mileage will be less, but on days where major roads are used and we need just to get from A to B, the mileage may slightly exceed 200. This is purely a tour so there will be no fixed time schedule, participants are free to drive at there own pace.

  • THE PARISH of CHIPPING DURING the SEVENTEENTH CENTURY Christine Ironfield, B.A., M.A. the Parish of Chipping Is Situated in Lanc
    THE PARISH OF CHIPPING DURING THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY Christine Ironfield, B.A., M.A. H E parish of Chipping is situated in Lancashire, about ten miles to the north-east of Preston. It is an area still very rural Tin character with pastoral farming the main economic activity. The parish consists of the two townships of Chipping and Thorn- ley. The main settlement is the village of Chipping and there are also the small hamlets of Wheatley and Bradley and numerous scattered farmsteads. The landscape of the area is one of hills and valleys with the parish itself lying between Longridge Fell to the south and Par lick and Saddle Fell to the north. The northern boundary of the parish at Fairsnape Fell reaches the height of 1707 feet and the highest point of the southern boundary which runs along Long­ ridge Fell, attains the height of 1,100 feet. On the hills the soils tend to be thin and rather acidy and this, together with the short growing season, make these fell land areas more suited to grazing than to crop production. It is in the valley, where a capping of boulder clay does produce relatively more fertile land, that some crop growing is possible but the land is still more suited to grass. The parish of Chipping at the time of Domesday was a wooded area and in about 1350 the inhabitants were referred to as being, ‘few, untractable and wild,’ the place being described as, ‘in a manner inaccesible to man’.1 As occurred in many other forested areas in the country, the woodland was gradually cleared and by the 17 th century this process had been completed in the parish of Chipping.

There is a ‘pay and display’ car park in the village centre, as well as limited roadside parking just over the River Ribble. There is also a railway station on the Settle and Carlisle line.
