Join Preston Rambles for walks in Lancashire - fresh air, exercise, lovely countryside - what more could you ask for? We organize walks on a monthly basis. We arrange walks on the 1st & 3rd Wednesday of each month and are usually between 5 and 7 miles. None members are welcome to come along and join in our walks.
All our walks are led by experienced walk leaders and are usually graded into 3 types: Leisurely - Normally a gentle walk with few hills and styles Moderate - Some climbs with long accent or decent, could also be graded on the length of the walk. Strenuous - Steep accent or decent, longer distances or open moor land.
