Training in Whalley
Martial arts, golf and a big hill.
Whalley's training list is small and specific. Ribble Valley Wing Chun Kung Fu and Street Safe Krav Maga teach martial arts and self-defence, Per4m Health is a small independent gym, and G8 Soccer School coaches football. Golf is the other strand, at Whalley Golf Club and Mytton Fold Golf Club. For a pool, Ribblesdale Pool is in Clitheroe, and buses run there from the village.
Whalley Nab, the wooded hill across the river, is the obvious climb from the village, and the viaduct carries hourly Northern trains to Blackburn and Manchester Victoria. Sport has a long history here: the first Roses Match between Lancashire and Yorkshire was played on Station Road in 1867. A Krav Maga partner, or someone to walk the Nab with, makes it easier to keep going.
