Welcome
to our Coach Rambles
Coach Rambles involve walking long distance routes in stages with
the luxury of having a coach to drop us off and pick us up at the beginning and
at the end of each stage. Each stage is about 10 miles in length (moderate
grade), lasting about 5 to 6 hours and includes one lunch stop and two short
breaks.
The
40 Arc
The 40 Arc follows a 40 mile radius from
Chorley
. Devised by Malcolm and Denny Robinson in 1990, it is a walk of about 180 miles
from Point of Ayr in North Wales to Arnside in Lancashire visiting parts of the
Sandstone Trail, The Roaches, Leeds County Way, Ingleborough plus lots more
highlights along the way - join us on any or all of the sections.
Starting at the Point of Ayr on the Dee Estuary, the following maps are
needed, in order:
Landranger Maps: 116,
117, 118, 119, 110, 104, 103, 98, 97
Explorer
and Outdoor Leisure:
265, 266, 256, 257, 268, OL24, OL1, 288, 297, OL2, OL7
In December 2009 we completed the
southern half of 40 Arc and presented certificates accordingly
Now we move on to 40 Arc North, which passes through attractive and varied
countryside.
In 2010 we shall walk 40 Arc every month except February, when there is no
coach. From here on participants can start counting towards another certificate,
40 Arc North, which will be awarded at the end of the Arc, at Arnside.
Offa’s
Dyke Path
We completed Offa’s Dyke Path in December 2009
with a triumphal dipping of our boots in the sea in Prestatyn. It was in
July 2005 that we started out on the Offa Dyke Path from the
Bristol Channel.
Miscellaneous
The price of a seat on the coach is
dependent on a good turnout, so do tell all your friends, whether they be new
people or lapsed members about the great variety in the Walk. A day’s coach
costs well over £300 but if we can persuade a good number of people to keep
coming regularly, we can keep the price down.
Every
Coach Ramble takes place on the 2nd Saturday of the month and the coach leaves Union Street,
Chorley
at 8.00am for all Coach Rambles.
As with all full day walks, please remember to bring the necessary food
and clothing.
Booking and payment for the next stage normally takes place during the
day of the ramble. However, bookings can be made by telephone up to a few days
before the aforesaid walk.
For bookings and further information, please telephone: 01257 262122
