Sunday Club Walks

What to have and to bring with you

Strong walking shoes, preferably boots, with well-patterned soles, and a change of footwear for the return journey. Waterproof jacket and overtrousers (gaiters are optional). Warm gloves and hat. Simple first-aid equipment. Layers of clothing allow the walker to keep warm or cool, but should not include jeans, which are very cold when wet. Change of footwear and clothing may be left on the coach during the walk.

Bring plenty to drink to last the whole day - especially important on hot days, and easy-to-eat foods - sufficient for two meals. Most walks will finish in locations with refreshments but this cannot be guaranteed.

You can use this form to ask our Rambles Secretary to book places for you. You will receive payment instructions when we acknowledge your request.

Your booking is not confirmed until your payment has been received. Bookings are only held for five days.

Booking Our Sunday Walks

Coach seats currently cost £15, children under 16 - £8. Your booking is not confirmed until your payment has been received. Bookings are only held for five days. If your payment is not received within that time, your booking will be cancelled if others want a coach seat.

Coaches start from St John's Lane, opposite the Marriott Hotel (L1 1RH), at 08:30. Trips to the Lake District also board at Old Roan, at the bus stop by the pub, and those to the Peak District & Yorkshire at the Rocket, at the bus stop immediately before the start of the M62.

Bookings are non-refundable, but please notify the Rambles Secretary if you are unable to come on a walk you have booked as there may be a waiting list.

Sunday Walk Grades

At least three walks are available every Sunday. Details of the walks are circulated around the coach and you are free to chose whichever walk is suited to your ability.

Grade 'A' These walks are only suitable for strong, experienced walkers who are capable of walking 12 to 16 miles at a brisk pace with 2000 to 4000 ft or more of ascent.
Grade 'B' This grade of walk requires a good level of fitness and the ability to walk 10 to 12 miles with between 1200 to 2500 ft of ascent.
Grade 'C' Gentler walks of 8-10 miles, up to 1,000 ascent, and done at a slower pace. These walks are ideal for new members with a little hill walking experience, and for younger children. They are also great for experienced walkers who just want a less energetic walk. (If you think this is a bit much to start with, perhaps try the Public Rambles which have some easier walks.)
