Future Walks

                                                     

Information about the 2026 club holiday can be found on the News Page.

At the 2026 A.G.M. it was decided there will be no increase for this year’s coach outings, however the cost for ramblers not using the coach to join the walk, will increase from £6.00 to £10.00.

Our next Outing will be on Sunday February 22nd at Sabden.

‘A’ Party Leader    Katie Clenshaw
Distance 13 miles     Climbing  2250 ft       Leaving the coach at Spring Wood near Whalley
  We follow the Ribble Valley Jubilee Trail from Spring Wood to the Nick of Pendle road,  where we continue straight across the road, skirting above Churn Clough Reservoir, then up past Deerstones to Badger Wells Hill. From here, if it is clear we will head to Mearley Moor and continue round the northern end of Pendle Hill until we reach the trig point. If in the clouds we will probably follow the Ribble Valley Jubilee Trail to the top instead. We descend towards Ogden reservoirs, then through Fell Wood and on to Newchurch in Pendle. From here we return to Sabden via Bull Hole, Lower Sabden Fold, Sabden Fold and Ratten Clough.    
‘B+’ Party Leader    Meriel  
Distance 10 miles          Climbing 1000 ft        Leaving the coach at Sabden
      Leave coach. Northwest up Clitheroe Rd to Nick of Pendle. Northeast on Ribble Valley Jubilee Trail then south and east on path to Deerstones and across Spence Moor to Newchurch in Pendle. Join Pendle Way turning southwest past Bull Hole, Tynedale Farm House and Higher Town. Soon after Pendle Way joins Guide Lane turn west on road past Height Farm, Stump Hall and Hill Top. Take track north down to Dean Farm and west into Sabden. The ground everywhere will be wet even if there’s no more rain. (Pigs might fly! If you have gaiters wear them and don’t forget your waterproofs is my advice.)    
‘B’ Party Leaders    John Stokes
Distance 8miles       Climbing  1000  ft        Leaving the coach at Spring Wood near Whalley
     The walk starts from Spring Wood car park on the A671 just outside Whalley. From there we walk up to Clerk Hill and then onto the road/path which heads to Nick of Pendle. We skirt round Churn Clough reservoir  and head up to Deerstones. Here we go east along Spence Moor for a mile or so turning south to Sabden Fold. From here we take Lower Lane going west to pass Wood House and Stainscomb (a fine Tudor farmstead with mullioned windows, although in urgent need of repair). We follow on to Ratten Clough and then on into Sabden (N.B. The White Hart is the preferred real ale pub).    
‘C’ Party Leader    Rob
  Distance  5.3 miles       Climbing 500 ft      Leaving the coach at Sabden
      We begin our day with refreshments at the “Sanwitches” cafe (open 9am to 2pm) on Witt Lane in Sabden, then head southwest from Sabden, climbing gradually through fields to Robinson’s Wood, then cross Back Lane and turn eastward through woodland to join Back Lane south of Black Hill. Continuing eastward we reach Dean Height where we turn north and descend to Dean Farm then westwards back to Sabden.      

The pickup times will be on your ‘Walks Programme’ and also on the website.
