About the walks

Walks usu­ally take place on the first week­end of each month. We hope most will be avail­able to the widest range of abil­it­ies and, where pos­sible, access­ible by pub­lic trans­port from Manchester.

You don’t need to register or book, just turn up either at the walk start or the train sta­tion. Partners, chil­dren and pets are very wel­come to come with you — just bear in mind that some of the walks may not be suit­able for small children.

Do get in touch if you have a walk you’d like to lead!

Walking guidelines

Please ensure that you have some com­fort­able walk­ing boots or sturdy train­ers, light­weight trousers (jeans are not comfy if it rains) and a water­proof jacket, and that you bring plenty of water and a packed lunch.

Disclaimer

Everybody who attends the walks does so at their own risk. This is not to say that the walks are suit­able only for exper­i­enced moun­tain walk­ers or the super-fit, or that they will pass through any par­tic­u­larly unsafe areas.

However, the out­doors can be chal­len­ging and dan­ger­ous and we can­not take respons­ib­il­ity for any­one who attends the walks, so please ensure that you are pre­pared and have read the simple guidelines above.
