The East Lancashire group is one of about 40 groups in the country affiliated to the Long Distance Walkers Association. We are a friendly bunch who enjoy various social activities and trips as well as walking.

For general enquiries about the group contact the secretary Roger on secretary.eastlancs@ldwa.org.uk

LDWA members must have their e-mail preferences enabled to receive bulk emails from the group either as a full or associate member.

See Future Events for more details of our walks programme. Contact the walk leader or check this website for last minute alterations. All walks are at the pace of the walk leader from whom further details can be obtained and whose decision is final. Please be appropiately equipped for the expected weather and terrain conditions and carry enough food and drink for the day. Well behaved dogs (and their owners) are usually welcome but please check with the walk leader first.

We sometimes offer extra Wednesday walks that are not advertised in Strider. Details of these are also on Future Events. Contact Don on don.watson@hotmail.co.uk if you wish to lead one of these.

Contact Dave or Alma on david.walsh873@btinternet.com if you have general walking programme enquiries or wish to offer to lead a walk.
