What we’re about
East Lancashire is one group of the national Long Distance Walkers Association. We are a friendly club that offers a variety of walks across the North West of England. Our walks are usually of 13 to 20 miles, although midweek ones can be shorter and weekends longer. The club also organises a challenge walk of 17 or 25 miles every March, as well as walking breaks away. We welcome new members who want to come along.
