This will be the second of our Challenge Trail Training Block 1 walks. (See below for further details about what this means...) This is a 6.9-mile / 11km (659ft / 200m climb) route across and over the rugged, moorland surrounding Clowbridge Reservoir, including a visit to the Singing Ringing Tree, above Burnley. The aim will be to complete this route within approx. 3 hours, including short rest / snack breaks.
What does Challenge Trail Training Block 1 mean?
In 2025 we will be delivering several ambitious long-distance Challenge Trails, listed below:
Ullswater Way - 21 miles – Sun 13th April
Lancashire Three Towers 32 miles – Sat 26th April
Edale Skyline – 21 miles – Sat 24th May
Witton Weavers Way - 34 miles – Sat 21st June
Calderdale Way - 51 miles (over 2 days) - 13/14th Sept
Yorkshire Three Peaks – 25 miles – Sat 4th Oct
To complete some of these challenges, you should be of reasonable fitness and able to walk at a pace of approx. 3 mph (5kmph) on the flat, for up to 12 hours, but if you don't think you are quite there yet, this is where our Challenge Trail Training (CTT) comes in!
What is CTT?
CTT Block 1 is for those who are walking regularly already (at about the 2-mph mark) over 4-6 miles, but still feel they have a long way to go to increase their speed and distance. If you think that may be you, keep reading...
It's for you if you want to walk regularly, gaining speed over a few weeks.
It’s for you if, perhaps you would struggle to motivate yourself alone.
It’s for you if you want to walk in a group with an empathetic, qualified leader, who will add challenge appropriately and provide a supportive atmosphere.
CTT Block 1 will be a series of walks over 5 weeks, every Saturday afternoon, from Jan 18th in Rossendale, Lancashire, starting at 13:30.
By building our speed up to around 2.5-3mph over 5 weeks, we will grow the distance covered from 5 miles (8km) to nearly 10 miles (16km) over that period.
Where and When?
18/01 – Holcombe Moor 5.3 miles/8.5km
25/01 – Clowbridge 6.9 miles/11km
01/02 – Grane Reservoirs 7.3 miles/11.75km
08/02 – Birtle 8.7 miles/14km
15/02 – Waugh’s Well 9.8 miles/15.8km
How much does it cost?
These walks are Individually priced (this one is £12) but if you select all 5, a discount of 10% off the full amount will be applied.
These have been incredibly popular over the last 2 years and helped many people achieve their goals. You do NOT have to be booked on any of our Challenge Trails to join us, though. Advanced booking is essential as spaces are limited. If you need some further information, before booking, please email [email protected] or call me on 07733225251.
As with all Abigail’s Trails events these will be led by professional, qualified Mountain Leaders with Outdoor First Aid and Mental Health First Aid certificates, Public Liability Insurance and a wealth of expertise to keep you safe and happy.
Well behaved, friendly (with people and other dogs) dogs are welcome, but must be agile and able to get over stiles! If you use a retractable lead, please ensure it is kept short on these walks to reduce risk of entangling other people.
Please ensure you have read and agreed to our Terms and Conditions and GDPR Privacy Notice prior to booking.
Further instructions and kit list will be emailed to you before the date.
