You are most welcome to join any of these guided walks. At all times, safety is your own responsibility. The leaders reserve the right to vary walks dependant on the weather conditions and capabilities of the walking parties. The walks are arranged by the ‘Lancashire Rail Ramblers’ (visit their website at www.railramblers.wordpress.com) Grades of walks Easy Stroll: Suitable for those not accustomed to walking in the countryside – these are the G and H walks. Easy: A slower paced walk than for ‘Moderately Easy’ walks and with short periods of rest. These are normally the F walks. Moderately Easy: A generally easy walk which may include some short rather steep inclines, normally shown as E walks. Moderate: A countryside walk for the average regular rambler. These walks may contain some climbing and ridge walking, but generally no scrambling. Normally designated D walks. Within E and D walks are some guided walks shown as ‘Climb a peak slowly’ where the grades are up to one grade higher than normal, but the length is shorter and the speed of the walk is slower – but you can climb to the highest peaks in the area and feel that extra pleasure of the experience. Many of the lower graded walks are themed as ‘Flower Walks’ or ‘History Walks’ and ‘Map Reading Walks’ – all are very popular. We also have more strenuous walks: Moderately Strenuous: Walks suitable for the experienced energetic walker, often at high level and over rough ground. These are the C graded walks. For all walks, except town & city tours and strolls, you should wear strong, comfortable walking boots, warm outdoor clothing and outer wind and waterproofs if the weather warrants it. On most walks, stops are made, often in the countryside, for lunch and tea, so remember to bring your own food, snacks and a drink, especially when it is hot. Details of the walks available from Sunday 6th June 2021 may be found on the DalesRail website at communityraillancashire.co.uk/dalesrail-walks or further detailed information may be had from the
