Welcome to the Fylde Ramblers Group. We are a group of people from all age ranges, brought together by a love of walking and the countryside.

Our group was formed in 1980, when a public meeting was convened in Wesham and the group was formally launched. In the intervening years the group has faithfully followed the Ramblers Association objectives, vigorously defending local paths and providing a varied walks programme in many parts of the North-west.

On this site you can find details of our walks programme, reports of various walks, news of events, contact details, etc.

  This website is funded by the generous bequest of the late Ron Lowe.

Ron loved the hills, enjoyed the companionship of the Fylde Group and wanted to leave 'something of benefit' behind.

 

A Sad Goodbye

The Group was saddened to learn of the death of Marjorie Nurse after a short illness. Marjorie had been a committee member and was a regular walker with the Group until recently - indeed she was a '2' walker well into her seventies.
Marjorie was extremely well-liked, concealing a warm nature behind an often blunt manner, as many of us will testify! She was never slow to express an opinion, be it about the way business was conducted or the quality of the food on one of our weekends away. But everything was done for the good of our members to whom she was fiercely devoted.
Marjorie showed many of us small acts of kindness, often unseen, and was well-travelled and knowledgeable about many things. She was good company to walk with and will be sadly missed by us all. As someone once said, "The loss of one diminishes us all".
Marjorie will always be remembered for her distribution of sweets after the lunch stop on our walks. She always kept behind a few liquorice ones for me! At her well-attended funeral in Poulton, sweets were distributed to the congregation - a fitting tribute to an exceptional person who lived life to the full.
