Skippool Creek 28.08.23

Skippool is an area of thornton-cleveleys, lancashire, england. it is situated between little thornton and poulton-le-fylde along the western banks of the river wyre, about three miles south of its mouth between fleetwood and knott end. these banks are known as skippool creek, an historic docks area now home to mostly run-down vessels. the mv good hope, for example, may date from the 1830s. skippool creek is a short branch off main dyke, which empties into the river wyre in front of blackpool and fleetwood yacht club.   the b5412 (skippool road) passes through skippool, ending at the roundabout it shares with mains lane, breck road and amounderness way.   skippool is believed to be a joining of the old norse word skip, which means ship, and the old english pull/pol, for a slow-moving stream. it has been written on historical maps as skippon, skiffe-pool and skip pool. wikipedia.

Wyre Estuary walk with tramper trail and stop at a country pub

Enjoy an award warning park and a purpose built accessible trail

With another weekend of warm weather expected, it’s the perfect excuse to get out and explore another of Lancashire’s scenic locations.

This week’s suggested walk starts at the award-winning Wyre Estuary Country Park, located on the banks of the River Wyre in Thornton Cleveleys. Many of the facilities within the park are accessible to disabled people including the use of the Tramper all terrain electric buggy.

The network of paths lead visitors through a variety of estuary and riverside views, where you will find a wide range of habitats and wildlife, including excellent bird watching opportunities. Our suggested route actually takes you away from the park, leaving you the option of exploring it more fully either at the end or start.

It also features a long stretch of the tramper trail, designed specifically for the all terrain buggies which can be used off road and on muddy terrain. But it’s important to note that it also includes stretches along roads with narrow pavements so if you feel uncomfortable about having to take a tramper onto the road, you may prefer to turn back and retrace the first half after stopping at the pub to cover a similar overall distance.

That stopping point is the Thornton Lodge pub, situated near the banks of Skippool Creek in the River Wyre Estuary. The country pub is a popular resting point for walkers and ramblers and is both family and dog friendly as well as serving food and drink including local ales.

The walk covers a total distance of just over four miles and will take around an hour and a half to complete. While much of the route is specifically designed for trampers, it can still get very wet so it’s important to wear appropriate clothing and footwear.

• Starting from the cafe picnic area, join the beige footpath which is the start of the tramper trail and follow this across the visitors centre car park. At the far edge of the car park continue walking along the stone path for approx 25 yards. Cross the road that leads to Stanah House Caravan Park and join the footpath on the other side. Walk straight on until you reach the access road which leads to the Drumlin car park, cross over the road and rejoin the path
• Take the lower path known as the riverside path and continue along there, passing by Cockle Hall Picnic area after around half a mile. Continue along the path for another half a mile until you reach a creek on your left hand side where there is an access gate on your right hand side (the footpath turns to a southeasterly direction). This is known as Ramper Pot.
• When the path widens and reaches a fork, ignore the right option with a gate and instead follow the bend round the left hand side. Continue on the trail for another three quarters of a mile before rejoining the road network at Wyre Road just after passing the yacht club.
• Carry on along Wyre Road until you reach the end where you turn right onto Skippool Lane and a stop at Thornton Lodge for food and drink. Once you’re finished, there’s a choice of retracing your route if you’d prefer to avoid the narrow pavements or continuing as below if you want a change of scenery. If it’s the latter, come out of the pub to continue along Skippool Road and you can now follow this main route for most of the way back.
• Continue along this road along a few bends as it changes name from Skippool Road to Lambs Road. When you reach a mini-roundabout, head right onto Stannah Road. Follow this all the way as it bends right and becomes River Road and then all the way back to the starting point. Why not take the chance to explore the park itself as an add-on to the walk?

Skippool Creek

At the confluence of the relatively tiny Skippool Creek and the Wyre and along a small stretch of the riverside beside the Blackpool and Fleetwood Yacht Club, there are a number of wooden jetties and boat moorings and shacks together with a range of boats; old and new and some in a photogenic state of decay.

Dinghy sailing.

MERLIN ROCKET

FLYING FIFTEEN

Dinghy sailing is a fun and low-cost way to get into yachting. Dinghies are small, lightweight sailing boats, typically around 4m in length. We use dinghies for our learn-to-sail classes, and most of our club racing is centred around these  boats.

The majority of sailing dinghies are either single handers which are sailed individually, or double handers which are sailed by a helm and one crew (although many will take more, for instance if you want to take your family out on the water).

The dinghy section of the club organises several race series for club members throughout the year , and also a number of O pen E vents where sailors from other clubs are welcome. Most races are held on Sundays.

On many Saturdays throughout the year there are also a number of informal sailing events, shown as Free Sailing, Social Sailing , or Sail Coaching in the Sailing Programme. T he aim of these days is to develop the skills and experience of novice & junior sailors and to encourage more people onto the water.

For members that don't yet have their own boat, the club has a number of dinghies that are available for sailing at Skippool. 

Dinghy Fleet

Races at BFYC are run using the Portsmouth Yardstick (PY) handicap system, so most classes of dinghy can be raced against each other. We do however have a number of supported classes, details of which are shown below.

A simple and very popular single handed dinghy. These are sailed at all levels from club racing to the Olympics, and are available with a number of different sail sizes ("rigs") to accommodate a wide range of helm weights. They are a lively boat and would not be recommended for a complete beginner. Lasers can be sailed in all of our dinghy races series, and are particularly popular in the evening series.

This is a popular 2-handed dinghy and with variations in sail plan is suitable for all abilities from beginner upwards. The name derives from the original design brief which was for a "14 foot general purpose" boat. Although usually sailed with 2 people, it can take  additional crew when used for cruising or leisure sailing. Like the Laser, the GP14 has ISAF International status, and is raced at all levels from club to World Championship.

The club has a modern, fully race rigged GP14 that members can hire.

To find out more about sailing the GP14 at BFYC, email us.

Merlin Rocket

A 2-handed high-performance dinghy, suitable for more experienced sailors.

Flying Fifteen

This is a 2-handed small keelboat, with a growing fleet at Blackpool & Fleetwood. These boats are a little larger than most dinghies, and they are both fast and stable. Flying 15s are sailed in most of our events, as a one design class with their own start.

For more information on our Flying 15 fleet click here.

The Perche Creek Yacht Club stays afloat

As the largest civic club in Boone County (unofficially, at least, with 1,370 members), the Perche Creek Yacht Club’s lack of appeal is its biggest appeal. 

Its purpose: To have no purpose. Its first order of business: To have no business to tend to. The membership process is also impossibly simple and is based on two questions: 

“Do you have $20?” 

“Will you give it to us?”  

A pressing matter might occasionally creep into the conversation at the club’s Home Port, the Perche Creek Café off Highway 40 at Midway, during the 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. weekday coffee and breakfast sessions. A visitor can stir the group by asking about the correct pronunciation of “Missouri” — is it “ee” or “uh”? — or by dropping a figurative grenade with questions about the usefulness of certain politicians or political parties. 

By the way, the group says the correct pronunciation is “Missour-ee.” (Of course, there’s a faction that also insists it’s “Missour-ah.”) As for politics, Commodore Gene Baumann says the group is “pretty ecumenical” with an unwritten rule to “not get too deep into politics.”  

And that basically sums up 33 years of morning conversations since the Perche Creek Yacht Club was founded on Mother’s Day, May 14, 1989, with Gene, a Rocheport scribe and photographer, appointed as commodore, a title he has held for life because, as Member Number 1 Joe Burkart puts it, “Nobody else wants it.” 

Members in all 50 states and all seven continents  

Joe has been the rear admiral since the start. Fellow founding member Bob Green, who “activated his eternal status” in 2019, is the forever vice admiral. Joe explains there was also an “admiral of rears,” and that Gene is the top dog because “he’s in charge of the commode door,” adding, “See how seriously we take things?” 

Gene, whose business card features a cleverly Photoshopped submarine surfacing in Perche Creek, is as laid back and unpretentious as the group. Noting that the club’s membership represents all 50 states, all seven continents, one U.S. territory, and 27 countries with 1,370 members in all, there are “many of whom will admit their association with PCYC.” He adds, “It’s to your honor that someone will admit to being your sponsor.” 

“We make it look like so much fun that they can’t resist,” Gene says. Two or three members from the “in memoriam” dearly departed list have even mentioned their association with the club in their obituaries. Incidentally, the in-memoriam board on display at the café recently eclipsed 100 and stood at 101 on December 15. But was the no-purpose-club blamed for their demise? 

“Not that we’re aware of,” Gene deadpans. 

Still, that membership list is impressive. 

“If you can find another organization in Boone County with that many members, let me know,” he says. 

‘It’s not complicated.’  

While the PCYC is a perfect mix of tongue-in-cheek zingers and home-spun authenticity, don’t let the do-nothing moniker fool you. As the founding sponsor of the Cow Patty Bingo and stump speaking fundraiser at the Midway Little General Store, where the club was born, PCYC raised more than $100,000 through the years for The Food Bank of Central and Northeast Missouri. The club recently bequeathed the cow patty tradition to the Midway Optimist Club. 

So where did the Perche Creek Yacht Club come from and why did it get started? One morning as Joe, Gene, Bob, and others stood having morning coffee in the aisles at Little General, Joe mentioned his familiarity with the River Des Peres Yacht Club in St. Louis County, where Joe spent nine years as a mounted park ranger. He and Bob agreed that a yacht club sounded like a good idea and Gene took that random seed of thought and ran with it. 

“In 24 hours — the very next day,” Joe says, “he showed up and said, ‘Here, look at this,’” with Gene displaying the club’s original logo and a sheet of bylaws. “All I did was think it would be a fun thing to do. It turned out to be a lot of work for him.” Joe calls Gene “the creative genius behind the organization.” 

“Anybody who can put a submarine in Perche Creek can do a lot,” says Keith Andersen, who became a PCYCer in August 2020. 

“And it changed your life,” Joe insisted. 

“Let’s go with that,” Keith replied, not trying too hard to hide a smile. “It’s good men having a good time. It’s not complicated.” 

Joe tells the story about the club’s earliest days when the guys crowded around the end of the store aisles and one morning a woman rushed in, deftly grabbed a can of hair spray from a shelf, doused her hair, snapped the cap back on, and replaced the item on the shelf. Then she lit a cigarette, and her hair went up in flames. 

“And that’s justice personified,” another member said. 

Uh, watch where you step!  

Gene certainly has the chops for creativity and leadership. He was the director of communications services for Shelter Insurance from 1962 to 2002, managing communications functions, including print advertising, publications, and photography. After retiring, Gene provided communication coordination for various political candidates, mostly county offices, working “both sides of the fence.” 

He was always easy to spot at Cow Patty Bingo with a camera around his neck. The bright gold PCYC member t-shirt was also a dead giveaway. 

The fundraiser began in 1991 with an evening event. A corral was set up on the lawn and part of the parking lot at Little General to create a giant bingo board with 100 squares, which were sold for $5 each. A dairy cow was released into the corral and wherever she, um, “deposited” determined the winner. Long-time PCYC member Bill Clark was usually the referee, with a keen eye to make a ruling when more than one square was the target of a plop.  

The square with the most patty was the winner.  

Clark described the tradition thusly: “Five boards are played on Bingo Day — unless constipation attacks the cow herd. Winners take $100 out of the $500 board sale but are shamed into returning the money to the food bank, thus ensuring at least $2,500 for the annual day of poop.” 

Along the way, Cow Patty Bingo added an auction of pies — actual fruit pies, for human consumption — and 4-H or FFA lambs, though the animals are typically returned to their young owners after being “sold” a few times to boost the fundraising total. 

The event also became a major stop on the political stump-speaking circuit. Gene says election results demonstrate that bypassing Cow Patty Bingo seriously jeopardized a candidate’s chances for election. An even bigger barometer of political success? 

“You can’t win if you’re not a winner of the Yacht Club,” he adds. Perhaps not coincidentally, the club grew from 990 to 1,089 members in 2012, a contentious election year. 

Cajoling and casting aspersions.  

New members will quickly understand that the club doesn’t take itself too seriously. Gene’s welcome letter makes that clear. 

“You will find here a pulse of the community. It may not sound like a normal pulse, but its irregular rhythm will enlighten you on a variety of matters … 

“I apologize for any stress you may have suffered while our membership committee evaluated your application. I’m pleased to report that your acceptance was very nearly unanimous.” 

The welcome letter continues: 

“With the stated purpose that ‘the highest purpose is to have no purpose,’ it should be obvious that the club plans no long list of activities or programs other than to pay respect to Perche Creek as Boone County’s preeminent waterway, and to get together to enjoy, cajole and cast aspersions on members and nonmembers alike. Public figures are favorite targets.” 

“Our preamble describes us as a facility for sharing the intelligence of carefully selected individuals. Part of that selection process is whether or not the individual is willing to invest $20 in an enterprise whose purpose is to have no purpose.” 

That “no purpose” aim is possibly responsible for people leaving other clubs to join PCYC, Joe says in a-friend-told-me-so tone, adding, “There were fewer requests for time and projects.” 

What? No yachts?  

Gene says that tracing the club’s year-to-year growth is challenging because in the early days, “We really didn’t keep track of dates … because we didn’t really expect it to go anywhere.” As Gene checks the official record book, which is kept semi-securely in a not-exactly-undisclosed location at the café, no one at the table seems to mind or monitor his recordkeeping. Joe says there’s a simple explanation for that: “If he’s doing it, we don’t have to.” 

The newest member, a woman from the state of California, listed Margueritta Street in her address, which had Gene doing a double take of double-checking to confirm. It’s legit, he says. It reminded him of the time a woman joined some years back around Christmastime. Her name? Holly Bush. Also legit, Gene says. 

The club’s newest in-person member recently handed Gene a membership form and a $20 bill, then asked, “Isn’t there a vote?” Kenny Andersen pointed to the legal tender on the table and said, “There’s your vote.” 

New members receive a PCYC cap, a t-shirt, an $8 voucher for breakfast at Perche Creek Café, a certificate — suitable for framing, of course —and a laminated membership card. 

Laminated? 

“If your yacht sinks, it’ll be okay,” Gene explained. 

Incidentally, the only time the Perche Creek Yacht Club had a boat was when charter member Kevin Yeager offered up the S.S. Minnow, though the only time it was afloat was when it was a float in a parade. 

‘Neighbors and friends.’  

Even at the peak of laughter and jokes, the conversation can take on an approachable, down-to-earth tone. Joe is proud of his status as Member Number 1 and he recently introduced himself to a prospective member as “Vernon Goldfarb,” quickly following with his verdict of the club. 

“First and foremost, they’re neighbors and friends,” he said. His farm is just a short drive from Home Port at the café. Some years back, a straight-line wind blew down a barn that trapped some of his animals. As Joe and family members used chainsaws to get their miniature horses to safety, word had already spread that help was needed. He says the picture that unfolded resembled the long line of cars reminiscent of the final scene in the movie Field of Dreams. 

“That’s what my driveway looked like,” he said, pointing to other men around the table. “Help was there in no time.” Most of his animals were saved. 

Home Port is active from 7-9 a.m. weekday mornings at the big table by the counter in Perche Creek Café at the Midway Little General Store. 

ABOUT PERCHE CREEK  

Perche Creek has been witness to the development of Boone County since the Corps of Discovery passed its entry into the Missouri River on June 6, 1804. 

Captain Clark interpreted the French Boatmens’ name for the high, craggy cliff’s split rock, which marked the mouth of the creek, as Roche Percee, which has evolved into Perche, (pronounced PUR-shi) over the years. 

The Creek has been traced to its origin in southern Randolph County and winds its way nearly the full length of Boone County to the Missouri River downstream from McBaine. 

—Gene Baumann 

IMPORTANT NOTICE 

New members are alerted that there might be a discrepancy between their member number and the total number of members on the “memberlist ship.” The difference applies only to member numbers 667 and above. According to the notice: 

“The reason for this is that we have decided to keep the number 666 vacant to preclude any concern by any member who might have been assigned the Sign of the Beast as defined in Revelations 13:16-18 and 14:9-11. We reserve the privilege of assigning the number if an appropriate member comes along. Until then, it will remain vacant.” 

In a recent perusal of membership records, Gene says he discovered that number 666 was assigned to Osama bin Laden, and it was the former al-Qaeda leader’s act of sending in a membership application that allowed authorities to find him. 

Well, that may or may not be true, but it’s a good story. And Gene confirms, “He is not a member.”
