Weekday Ramble Programme
The weekday walks began in 1992 and continue to be well supported by its regulars, as well as frequent newcomers.
All members of the Club and guests are welcome
The aim is to walk each week, alternating between Tuesdays and Thursdays. Members meet at the starting point of the walk. Walking usually starts at 10.30 a.m. Walkers should arrive by 10.15 a.m. to allow time to put on boots and use toilets if necessary. The leader chooses the venue for the walk and details are circulated to members by email, as well as on this web site. Transport is typically by car; members car sharing where practical. Often, public transport is used. Walks take place in the Lancashire Hills, South Lakes, Cheshire, Wirral, North Wales and much closer to home, particularly in winter months.
Walks are about 5 -7 miles in length. A packed lunch is taken and members usually enjoy tea and cake (sometimes a pint) after the walk.
Details of walks will be emailed and will be on the web site nearer the time.
Please contact the leader if you intend to join a walk

NEXT WEEKDAY WALK (see separate tab for Sunday walks)
Thursday 20th November 2025
Venue – Formby Pinewoods
Leader – Val Shayler
Length – 5-6 miles approx.
Meet at Formby station at 10.15 – 10.30. The 10.08 from Blundellsands and Crosby would be fine.
This walk takes us from the station down to Wicks Lane, where we cross heathland to the Squirrel Walk. From there we join the Asparagus Trail through the woods to Lifeboat Road, where there are toilets and a picnic area. We can then admire the views across the Mersey from the lookout, before heading over to the Ravenmeols Reserve, the Lost Resort and Devil’s Hole, to learn a little history of the area, before heading back into Formby and some refreshment at the Railway pub.
The whole walk is pretty flat apart from the odd sand dune here and there and no stiles.
If you’d like to join the walk, pleased let Val know on 07806 937706 (preferably by text).
Note: Thursday, not Tuesday as scheduled.
