Welcome to the Lancashire Young Persons Walking Group website!

Hello and welcome!!  The Lancashire Young Persons Walking Group (LYPWG) is a member of the Ramblers Association Hike 20’s/30’s walking group network.  The LYPWG is a voluntary organization which offers a variety of walks, socials and holidays for our members.

WALKING

We offer a wide variety of walks from easy rambles to hard mountain scrambles within and beyond Lancashire.  To find out more about our walks check out our walks page

SOCIALISING

Walking is our main focus but it doesn’t stop us letting our hair down from time to time!!  Our social calendar has a mixture of events from pub night outs and evening meals to weekends away and even holidays.

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN LYPWG?

We welcome anyone who is either young or young at heart to walk with us.  If you think our group is for you then check out our new members page

For all general enquiries, please contact our chairman Chris Cooper (07968 598234)

We look forward to seeing you soon!!

**A note from the Chariman**

Hello,

Our social secretary, Jon Bates is stepping down from his role.  I would like to thank Jon for his four years of memorable socials which have lead to some great friendships and one or two weddings if truth be told!  This means that we are looking for a new social sec. to take over from Jon.  If you fancy helping the group organise its social calendar then please let us know?  We are open to new suggestions, and would even contemplate splitting up the social activities to different people if needs be.  If you would like anymore information then don’t hesitate to contact Jon on jonbates69@hotmail.com

We now have a weekly e-mail which we distribute to our paid up RA members. The weekly e-mails list gives you the most up to date information concerning news, walks and socials that are happening within the group. If you don't want to miss out and wish to be on our new mailing list then please e-mail Helen Smith at walk@helencsmith.com  with your following details; Full Name, e-mail address and your RA membership number. We have over 120 members but not all of you are on the mailing list so where have you been hiding?

Thanks,

Chris Cooper,
LYPWG Chair.
