Anglezarke Amble Challenge
The Anglezarke Amble is a challenge walk that crosses Rivington, Anglezarke and Turton Moors in an area known locally as the "Little Lake District". The event is based at Rivington Village Hall (postcode BL6 7SE, grid reference 626141) and is organised by LDWA - West Lancashire. There is a 10 hour time limit for completion.
Distances offered for walkers:
- 17 miles
- 24 miles
Runners may only enter the long route. Refreshment points are on the short route at Slipper Lowe after 9.6 miles, and on the long route at Entwistle Barn after 10.1 miles and at Slipper Lowe after 18 miles. Participants must ensure they carry enough water to reach these points. No mug equals no drink.
Entry fees are £12.00 for LDWA members and £20.00 for non members; the fee includes refreshments at checkpoints, food at the finish and a certificate of the event. When the event is full a waiting list will be used; being on the waiting list does not guarantee an invitation and unregistered participants are not permitted to take part.
Entrants must carry clothing suitable for harsh moorland winter conditions and the following kit: map, compass, whistle, torch, waterproofs, first aid kit, food, drink and a mug. Random equipment checks will be carried out and failure to comply may lead to disqualification.
Retirements are only permitted at checkpoints; tallies must be handed in at the checkpoint before awaiting transport. Entrants who miss checkpoints or fail to visit them in order will be disqualified. Event numbers are allocated on arrival and route descriptions are available at HQ or for download. Dogs are not allowed. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
