St Anne's Beach Walk & Talk - Sunday 12/10/25
Join us for some Sunday afternoon sea air on this easy paced, flat walk of approx 4 miles. We will set off from the pier and head down towards Fairhaven Lake at Granny’s Bay hopefully enjoying clear views out over the Ribble Estuary Nature Reserve and across to Southport beyond. 2.00 start, I expect the walk to take us approx 2 -2.5 hours. We have the possibility of a cafe stop for a brew and a cake mid-way round, please feel free to bring your own Thermos cup and a snack if you prefer. Good paths and pavement most of the way with one stretch on the sandy coast path. Please dress for the weather! No dogs on this walk – sorry.

Walk Leader - Sarah
Not only is Sarah a qualified Hill & Moorland Leader as well as being qualified in First Aid for Mental Health and Outdoor First Aid, but she is also a registered Counsellor so you can be sure that your wellbeing will be a priority.
Sarah loves walking around hills, woodlands and rivers and enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. Sarah believes that a walk often brings a helpful sense of perspective and balance to the stresses of life and hopes to share these benefits with others.
Being an avid Wainwrights bagger Sarah tells us that her favourite place to walk is in the quieter Far Eastern Fells for the big views and real sense of being away from it all. Closer to home Sarah enjoys exploring locally around Manchester, Stockport and into the Peak District and looks forward to guiding you some on surprisingly beautiful and interesting walks not too far from the doorstep!

Informed Consent - we want you to know what risk is involved
While we take every precaution to ensure your safety on our walks (physically, psychologically and emotionally), all outdoor activities involve an inherent and unavoidable risk of an accident occurring that could lead to personal injury. All of our Walk Leaders are qualified in First Aid and carry emergency equipment to deal with emergencies. Walk Leaders are also trained to dynamically alter the route or plan for the day based on numerous potential factors - any decision to do so is fully authorised and expected by Wellness Walks. All participants should take an active role in minimising risks - so if you have a concern please speak up, if you feel unwell or unable to continue tell the leader.
Lowland Walks
These walks will follow paths, trails and lanes that are clearly visible on both the ground and the map (with the exception of very minor alterations). The risk on these walks is low - but traffic, waterways and other hazards may still be encountered.
Participants are required to read the walk description and kit list and may not be allowed to take part on the walk if they do not have suitable clothing or footwear.
