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.
The plan for today has now changed, with all walks starting and ending in Blakemere Village, where the coach will park up for the day. So, the choice for you today is to join one of the lead walks in the surrounding area, or spend the day investigating the many shops and attarctions within the village. With pubs and cafes to hand refreshments can easily be obtained at the end of the day.
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 TBC
B Walk Leader - Dave Eccles - Around 8 miles with little uphill. We start by walking through Kennel Woods, and passing the Cheshire Kennels, to join the bed of the old railway line that ran to Winsford, now known as the Whitegate Way. We walk this for just over 3 miles before looping back via Brook House, Gale Green Farm and Cassia Green. Then passing Nova Scotia before heading for Daleford Farm and back to Blakemere.
C Walk Leader - Pam Ashton - Around six & half miles and mainly very flat. We start by crossing Kennel Lane and head for Pettypool Wood. We follow well marked paths on a circuit of the wood before joining the Whitegate Way, and calling at the old station for lunch (toilets available). We then continue along the Whitegate Way back to Kennel Lane and Blakemere Village.
The bus stop st the Plough Roundabout, Crossens.
