Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter
Every season is a season for walking! All walks are planned to
be complete while we still have daylight. Longer days generally
mean longer walks or walks a little further away. Whatever the
weather, you’re always going to have a great day out with the
Fylde Coast Ramblers. Our members share a love of walking
and the countryside. Many walks end at a pub or tearoom/cafe
where we can have a friendly chat.
We are an informal, friendly, diverse group of friends who
enjoy walking the spectacular countryside that Northern
England provides. We are extremely lucky to be based in such
a beautiful part of the country, with the Lake District, The
Forest of Bowland, North Wales (Snowdonia), Yorkshire Dales,
The Howgills and North Lancashire all pretty much on our
doorstep.
The club has approximately 150 members, many of whom are
regular walkers with the club.
Membership is fairly evenly split between the sexes, with ages
ranging from juniors (under 15) to over 80’s.
The club doesn’t run itself so naturally there are a few people
beavering away in the background to make sure your trip is
enjoyable and safe.
We have an organising Committee led by a very able
Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer to look after the important
stuff. They are assisted by a merry band of helpers with
supporting roles that keep the club running like clockwork.

Why am looking at this page?
Well here you are looking at this club website. There could be
many reasons you arrived at this page. We will take a moment
to analyse the popular reasons that you are searching for a
club like ours.
•
You feel you want to be a bit more active, to leave
the TV and sofa behind and do something else: A
walk with us every weekend will help you get out of the
house and have a little adventure.
•
You are worried about your health: Walking is well
known for its health benefits. Walking in the countryside
is very good for clearing the mind and uplifting our
spirits. As you walk with us you will find your fitness
increases with each step you take.
•
You are lonely: From the moment you get on the
coach, if it’s your first time with us, then I would be
surprised if it took long for someone to engage you in
conversation. Then during the walk you will find you will
be chatting away to the others in your walking group. A
lunch time “picnic” will be another chance for a chinwag.
After the walk ends most will head for a pub or
tearoom/café and if you tag on you will have more time
to enjoy your new friends.
•
You are now retired or will be soon: Of course you
are worried you will have lots of time on your hands and
are worried about losing your health and getting stale.
This is when you need other interests to occupy yourself.
Walking/Rambling is perfect for this. After our walks you
will return home with the feeling that you personally
achieved something that day, and are looking forward to
walking with us again.
•
You are divorced or have family problems: Normally
couples do things together and when you suddenly find
your now on your own it can be difficult. Your friends will
take their time in coming to terms with this and to regard
you as now on your own. Perhaps now is the time for
new friends and new relationships. Lots of people (myself
included) have come to join this club after a separation
and have never looked back.
•
You are bereaved. You have lost your wife,
husband, partner or your “significant other half”:
Your head is full of doubts and fears. You must take time
to adjust to your loss. Then when the time feels right
why not come walking with us. You don’t need to pay for
club membership straight away, but give it two or three
goes to see the benefits and new friends you have found.
Remember you are not on your own for long.
