I’m currently up at Hest Bank at the moment with Brett ‘The Husky’ (Yes I named a dog after Brett Ormerod)!

What does everybody else like?

In the Summer we usually go up to Ribblehead or Grange Over Sands/Arnside.

Don’t mind Fleetwood Beach now and again or Lytham for staying local, especially in the winter!

Yes. I enjoy Sunday and a walk. Lytham, park up in Fairhaven and along the front, then choose a cafe. Especially if we have guests.
 
I walk the dog on the beach from Starr Gate down towards St Annes most days, but on days like today in the sunshine it's a lovely walk. Looking out across the calm sea towards Southport and North Wales beyond is a view I never get tired of. Sometimes walk on Cleveleys and Rossall Prom/Beach as well.
 
one of out favourite summer walks is park up in Arnside then walk round the coast across the beach to Far Arnside and then back over the Knot. Spectacular views on a clear day. Winter months tend to stay local and do different stretches of the Fylde coast, promenade, Stanley Park, Marton Mere. De Vere can get too wet.
 
We used to enjoy walking in the lakes years ago, but got fed up of taking the wrong diagonal across the field after the next style through the track to the west of the farm’s easterly out buildings! So now we stick to turning left onto Beach Rd, across Clifton Drive and North Prom onto the beach and walking either way for an hour, hey presto no getting lost! Lovely.
 
walked from near danbro down Lytham front onto beach to white church and back, ended up in ship for few pints and tea, just got in, left at 2 😃
Saw Andy preece out eating with the family and Ben Mansford coming out of Sainsburys, his missus ❤️

How did you get on? By the time we reached ‘The Green’, there were plenty of finishers with their gongs dangling round their necks. Do you peel ‘em for the choccy?
 
Up from Ambleside over Wansfell and back down into Windemere. I like Parlick and Fairsnape too a little nearer to home.

Locally - living 100m from the prom means the Prom really. Like a walk up next to Warton on the seafront too, St Annes, Lytham, St Michaels, Fleetwood. Just wherever the car takes us. We are spoilt.

I was in the toilet when it started and lost a bit of time getting through the crowds at the back but still managed 46.01 chip time(not too bad for 58)

I prefer Anglezarke moor which is quieter. White coppice up to Great Hill and across spitlers and redmonds edge towards winter hill and back down lead mine valley. Full of interest with an ancient monument called round loaf on the middle of the Moor which is a burial ground from the bronze age, pike stones and the sad incident where a bomber plane came down in the 2nd world war. There is a memorial at lead mine valley.

The whole area is outstanding…we’re lucky to have it on our doorstep…we have two Border Collies who know every inch and (Tree) up there….our Grandson aged just 2 walked up to the pike and all the way back down….he did fall asleep for hours when we got home….Fresh air….you can’t beat it.

I walked the west pennine Moor walk about 5 years ago. 46 miles it's stunning. On a clear day you can see 4 national parks from great hill. Lakes, Yorkshire dales, snowdonia and the Peak District it's ace.

Done Wansfell from Troutbeck, down to Ambleside and then back to Troutbeck through High Skelghyll a few times, lovely walk and a bonus ticked off Wainwright.
 
Round here. Starr Gate beach, St Annes Beach via Ashton Pavilion & back, Marton Mere (todays dog walk) Blackpool Prom, especially if it's dark as they've strung a few coloured lights up I've heard, it's right about the badly lit parts though, but unless it's reflected, light doesn't go round corners very well. Witch Wood to Lytham & back on the front sometimes, Fairhaven to Lytham Windmill. I like to vary things as it can get a little samey, but as an area we are quite spoilt for choice I think. I'm always trying to find different fairly local routes. Week after next it'll be around Keswick & I've got a few planned, it would be fantastic if we had weather like today, looks half decent at the moment but that could change.
 
Great walks is one of the benefits of living in West Yorkshire. We are surrounded and spoiled for choice by excellent walks. Wooded walks, river and canal walks, upper and lower moorland, take your pick.
 
Locally another vote for the North Blackpool Pond Trail. Or, a drive away to Kendal and Scout Scar is a favourite.
