Southport Ramblers welcome all age groups from 8 to 80+ for fortnightly worry-free walking (travelling by coach) with like-minded people throughout the year.
Our choice today is to head for the surrounding hills of Wheelton and Anglezarke Moors or keep low and follow the Goit towards White Coppice. One could also use the disused railway line to Abbey Village and join the Witton Weavers Way before heading for Great Hill on the way back to Brinscall.
Three walks will be available with details circulated on the coach. They will range from easy to strenuous depending on the walk selected.
A Walk Leader - Dave White - 10 miles with 1400ft of ascent, going east towards the hills and valleys of Roddlesworth. Taking in Wheelton Moor and White Coppice.
B Walk Leader - Dave Eccles - 8.5 miles with 665ft of ascent. We tke the disused railway line to Abbey before starting the gradual climb up to the mast above Withnell. Continuing southwest we pass Windy Harbour and Heapey, then head for the reservoirs above White Coppice. We then follow The Goit back to Brinscall.
C Walk Leader - Elaine Brennan - Just over 7 miles with approximately 580ft of ascent. A varied walk taking in woodland paths, nature trails, lakeside and riverside paths. There is also some walking through fields (not too muddy) and a couple of road sections. There are nice views of the surrounding hill from some path.
The bus stop by the Plough roundabout in Crossens, Southport, and calling at all pick-up points going South.
