OLOC FELL WALKERS – 12th September 2026

 Our Lady’s Fell Walkers have two circular walks on Saturday 12th September 2026 from the market town of Barnoldswick, Pendle, Lancashire.  The A walk is approximately 10 miles with a total elevation of about 1300 ft.  The B walk is 7.36 miles with the highest elevation at 1290 ft.  Both walks are circular from the town centre. 

The A walk is higher and faster and the B walk, lower and slower. 

We are a friendly group and everyone is welcome.  The coach leaves from the corner of School Lane and Church Road, Formby, at 8am on the day and you can book your place by ringing 01704 878548.  There is always an early stop for coffee/tea/bacon barms and time after the walk to visit shops, cafes and pubs in the area.  Please wear good walking boots or shoes, weather appropriate clothing and bring a packed lunch together with something waterproof to sit on.  Sticks are likely quite necessary on these walks and please remember to bring adequate fluids if the weather is very sunny, together with sunscreen.
