WHEN BOOKING A SPACE...

Please book accordingly, here are the options available. The walk has been organised into 4 stages. Members of the public are very welcome to attend but please note that stages 1, starting at Scottie's Cafe in Ramsbottom, is only designed for people with a very good to above average level of fitness, due to the pace that is required. If you cannot walk at 5km/h, or 3 mph, consistenlty over hilly and uneven terrain then this section of the walk is going to be difficult.

Average paced walkers should be able to join from Stage 2, starting at the Strawbury Duck in Edgworth, and slower paces walkers are very welcome to join either Stage 3, from the Royal at Tockholes, or Stage 4 only, from the Black Dog in Belmont.

ANY PERSONS UNDER THE AGE OF 18 MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A RESPONSIBLE PARENT OR GUARDIAN.

Upon booking a space, please don't overlook these basic Footwear, Clothing and Equipment Requirements.

It is imperative to wear clothing that is suitable for both the terrain and the time of year. Weather conditions can change very quicky while out and about in the hills. All participants must wear sturdy footwear, approved for use for the booked activity. This is a voluntarily organised peer-to-peer fundraising event, the organisers, being volunteers from Bolton Walking and Outdoors Appreciation Society and Colin Liptrot for Moors to Mountains, CANNOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for any accidents or mishaps caused by poor clothing. Advice can be found from any reputable outdoor clothing retailer, and I am personally happy to give guidance prior to the activity. Please make sure you have used all items of footwear, clothing or equipment for a similar activity previously

Unless advised otherwise, participants should have on their person (other than approved footwear):

• Rucksack suitable for the activity. Minimum 15 litres.
• Waterproof coat, and trousers if possible.
• Mid layer, such as a fleece or gillet (synthetic or hydrophobic down).
• Appropriate walking trousers, leggings or shorts. NOT jeans.
• Suitable base layers and walking socks. Synthetic materials and Merino wool work best by wicking away sweat.
• Hat and gloves, stowed away in your pack if it is not perceivably cold at the start of the walk.
• IN SUMMER – cap or other sun hat, sunglasses and sun cream!
• Lunch and adequate food provisions..
• At least one litre of water.
• Personal medication, accessible and labelled with dosage information where necessary
• Headtorch, fully charged or with spare batteries.
• Mobile telephone fully charged.

JEANS ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR HILL WALKING. They can chafe and become very uncomfortable when wet.

ALSO RECCOMMENDED - walking poles, snood/buff, midge repellent, leg gaiters.

Once a place has been booked on this walk...

I will personally contact each participant by email with any relevant information. There will also be a link to a Participation Consent Form that should be completed in good time before any activity takes place. This will include a dislaimer and ask for permission to take photos. 

Cheers for reading, Colin.
