Anglezarke Amble Challenge
The Anglezarke Amble is a Challenge Walk that visits Rivington, Anglezarke and Turton Moors in an area known locally as "Little Lake District". The event takes place on Saturday 13th February 2027 and is based at Rivington Village Hall, postcode BL6 7SE.
Available courses:
- Walkers: 17 miles
- Walkers and runners: 24 miles
Runners may only use the long route. The event has a time limit of 10 hours. Entry fees are £12 for LDWA members and £20 for non members; the fee includes refreshments at checkpoints, food at the finish and a certificate.
Entrants must carry clothing suitable for harsh moorland winter conditions and must carry a map, compass, whistle, torch, waterproofs, first aid kit, food, drink and a mug. Random equipment checks will be applied and failure to comply may result in disqualification. NO MUG = NO DRINK.
Refreshments are provided at set checkpoints: on the short route at Slipper Lowe after 9.6 miles; on the long route at Entwistle Barn after 10.1 miles and at Slipper Lowe after 18 miles. Entrants must carry sufficient water to reach these points.
Retirements are accepted at checkpoints only and tallies must be handed to checkpoint officials. Missing checkpoints without reporting will lead to disqualification. Event numbers are allocated on arrival and route descriptions are available at HQ or for download. Dogs are not allowed. A waiting list is used when the event is full and does not guarantee entry.
