Southport Ramblers welcome all age groups (from 8 to 80+) for fortnightly walks travelling by coach with like-minded people throughout the year.
This very popular destination just below the southern edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park offers a range of walking possibilities. From the canalside towpath to the heights of Skipton Moor in the southeast, and Malham Moor to the northeast. With its castle to explore and lots of pubs and cafes for refreshments this is always going to be a "sell out" as far as coach seats go. So book yours early to avoid disappointment.
There will be three walks on offer, with details circulated on the coach. They will range from easy to strenuous depending on the walk selected.
A Walk Leader - Janet Loines - A linear walk of 10.5 miles and 1235ft of ascent. Starting from East Marton and following the Pennine Way to Gargrave. Then heading North to Flasby and heading over Flasby Fell following the Dales Highway into Skipton.
B Walk Leader - Dave Eccles - Nine & half miles with a total ascent of 1384ft. From the town centre a circular walk heading up along the Dales Highway across Skipton Moor. Back into Skipton via Addingham Low Moor, High Bradley Moor and Jenny Gill.
C Walk Leader - Cathy Collins - A circular walk of approximately 7.5 miles, with 846ft of ascent. The recce is on Saturday 21st March so route is subject to change. Proposed map is on WhatsApp and Facebook, with an updated version handed around on the coach outward journey.
The bus stop by Mayflower Manor on Liverpool Road, Formby, and calling at all pick-up points going north.
