It was devised by Eddie Ross of Clitheroe Group as a permanent commemoration of the Ramblers Association 60th Jubilee. The Clitheroe 60K was officially opened by the Mayor of the Ribble Valley, Councillor Kate Hodkinson on 15th April 1995.

The Clitheroe 60K walk is a very scenic and challenging long distance circular walk over Longridge Fell, Pendle Hill and skirting Grindleton Fell including nearly 5000ft of ascent, a similar height gain to that of the better known Yorkshire Dales 3 Peaks Walk.                                                  

There was obviously some newspaper coverage of the event, click the following thumbnails for a larger version.

Route Cards and Certificates of Achievement are available from Clitheroe Information Centre and Clitheroe Interchange. The route is listed in the Long Distance Walkers Association on the LDWA website.  It may be completed in one day or alternatively it can be spread over as many days as suit individual walkers.
