Previous Fylde Ramblers Website

A HISTORY OF FYLDE RAMBLERS WEBSITE  2005 TO 2019

Walks, Starting points, Wainwright Summits, Outlying Fells, Walking Holidays. 

All this and more can be found on our previous website which contains hundreds of walks from 2008 to 2019. 

Originally any website matters were dealt with by Andrew Manzie, a member of Area Committee,
or by Ron Lowe who arranged for our programme to be put on the internet in 1999.

June 2005 saw the beginning of our own website journey with a simple site that provided information
about the club and included photos from the latest walks. These photos changed on a regular basis
but a selection can still be seen in the archive section of our website.

In 2007 thoughts of a more permanent record were combined with discussions about how to use the generous bequest of the late Ron Lowe.
Ron loved the hills, and enjoyed the companionship of the Fylde Group and wanted to leave 'something of benefit' behind.
It was decided that an ongoing record using a comprehensive website would fit the ideals of the bequest and provide the club with a valuable resource.

A new website was launched in January 2008 and remained much the same apart from a slight amendment to the format in 2012, but the main change
has been the size of the website, now made up of more than 1,500 pages containing a vast amount information and thousands of photos.

In early 2019 investigations revealed that  Ramblers would fund the website through Ramblers Webs, 
a small group of Ramblers volunteers set up to support a number of Group and Area Web Sites. 

Also earlier this year plans were discussed for a change of Webmaster and the decision was made
to change the website to a simpler version similar to many others hosted by Ramblers. We were  
very pleased to find that Ramblers would continue to host the old website as well as the new one.
