Anglezarke Amble Challenge
The Anglezarke Amble is a challenge walk on Saturday 13 February 2027 around Rivington, Anglezarke and Turton Moors, an area known locally as the "Little Lake District". The event is based at Rivington Village Hall, postcode BL6 7SE.
Distances offered
- 17 miles (walkers only option)
- 24 miles (walkers and runners)
Runners may only follow the long route. The event has a time limit of 10 hours.
Entry fees are set at £12.00 for LDWA members and £20.00 for non-members; fees include refreshments at checkpoints, food at the finish, and a certificate. When the event is full a waiting list will be used; being on a waiting list does not guarantee entry. Non registered participants are not permitted.
Entrants must carry clothing suitable for winter moorland and the following equipment: map, compass, whistle, torch, waterproofs, first aid kit, food, drink and a mug. Random equipment checks will be applied and failure to comply will lead to disqualification. No mug = no drink.
Refreshments are located on the short route at Slipper Lowe after 9.6 miles. On the long route refreshments are at Entwistle Barn after 10.1 miles and at Slipper Lowe after 18 miles; entrants must carry enough water to reach these points. Tallies must be handed in at checkpoints when retiring and checkpoints must be visited in the correct order or the entrant will be disqualified.
