| OLOC FELL WALKERS – 8TH FEBRUARY OLOC Fell Walkers have two walks on Saturday 8th February 2025 from Rivington Pike, a hill on Winter Hill, part of the West Pennine Moors with some of the best views in Lancashire. The A walk is 9.5 miles with a total ascent of 918.5 feet and is a circular Walk from Rivington Barn, with views to Anglezarke Reservoir and Rivington Reservoir, looping around White Coppice. Trails are a mixture of country lanes and footpaths and maybe muddy at times. The B walk is a circular route of approx 7 miles with an elevation of approx 750ft. The route takes in Liverpool Castle (a replica), The Terraced Gardens, Pigeon Tower and Rivington Pike with views across the reservoirs. The walk has stone steps and places that could be slippery depending on the weather but is otherwise fairly gentle and very picturesque. The A walk is a faster, higher walk and the B 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 weather appropriate clothing and bring a packed lunch with something waterproof to sit on. Walking sticks are always handy if you have them. |
