On Saturday 8th February 2020, Pam Hardman ran in the LWDA long distance walk/run of 24 miles ‘The Anglezarke Amble’ . Pam entered this as part of her training for the Lakeland 50 mile in Cumbria in July.

Pam described the route: The ‘Amble’ takes in much of the finest scenery in the West Pennine Moors.

The start of the walk/run passes through Lever Park Up to Rivington Pike, then to Winter Hill, which at almost 1500ft. is the highest point of the walk/run.
There is now a long descent, after which the way passes south of the village of Belmont to where, in a mile or so, it reaches the checkpoint. Once across the busy A666, straightforward walking/running leads to Turton and Entwistle Reservoir before making the long but gradual ascent along tracks to Darwen. Good walking across the moor and a short descent takes you to Roddlesworth Woods for the climb  over Great Hill, with great views, to White Coppice. From White Coppice good walking threads a line between, first of all Anglezarke Reservoir to the right, then Yarrow Reservoir to the left and finally the Upper Rivington Reservoir and the end of the walk/run in Rivington. Hot pot & peas & a cup of tea greeted us at the end.
