Anglezarke Amble Challenge
The Anglezarke Amble is a challenge walk taking in Rivington, Anglezarke and Turton Moors in an area known locally as "Little Lake District". The event uses Rivington Village Hall, BL6 7SE, as the venue.
There is a choice of distances for walkers:
- 17 miles - walkers only
- 24 miles - walkers and runners (runners may only use the long route)
The event has a 10 hour time limit. 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 wear 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 carried out and failure to comply may result in disqualification. No mug means no drink at checkpoints.
Refreshments are provided at named 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. Retirements are accepted at checkpoints only and tallies must be handed in to checkpoint officials. Entrants who miss checkpoints or visit them out of order will be disqualified and must report any missed checkpoint at the next checkpoint.
When the event is full a waiting list will be used; being on the waiting list does not guarantee an invitation to enter. Entries opened 30 June 2026 and close 6 February 2027. Entries so far: 40 participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
