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.
A small and very attractive village, between Coniston Water and Windermere, that the group has not visited before. However, with its exstended coach park, and access from Ambleside, walks today could take you to the Tarns, Wray Castle, or up onto the fells.
Three walks will be available, with full details circulated on the coach. They will range from easy to strenuous depending on the walk selected.
A Walk Leader - Janet Loines - 10.5 miles walk with a total ascnt of 1874ft. A circular walk taking in the Monument on Latterbarrow, forest tracks over Claife Heights leading down to Far Sawrey, and returning via Moss Eccless Tarn and Wise Een Tarn.
