We are the Hike on Lancashire Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
This is a little different from our usual walks, starting in the afternoon in order to take in The Illuminations.
Meeting outside Starr Gate tram stop ready for a 2pm departure, we’ll walk to Red Bank Road (5.5 miles), with an expected arrival time of 4.00-4.15pm. We will then walk back to Starr Gate, soon stopping for some food (possibly fish and chips!) ... by the time we've finished eating, the Illuminations will have been switched on and we shall continue our walk back through 'the lights' to Starr Gate.
People can either do the full 11-mile return walk, just the outward walk from Starr Gate to Red Bank road (5.5 miles, catching either the tram or bus back), or just the return walk from Red Bank Road to Starr Gate (5.5 miles, with a break for food); if you choose the last option, please ensure that you are at Red Bank Road by 4pm ready to meet us.
