Is the White Rose Walk in Lancashire suitable for beginners?

The White Rose Walk can suit beginners who already have the fitness for long days on foot, because it is rated easy overall. The main challenge is not technical terrain but the route length of 69.32 km and the cumulative ascent of 1,552 m, which make pacing and stage planning important.
