We are the Greater Manchester & High Peak Area Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
John Rattray
Area short walk. Distances are generally 6-8 miles unless specified.
The walk is called the Ann Lister walk ( Gentleman Jack TV series ) visiting Piece Hall , Halifax Minster , Scout Hall , Shibden Vale , Shibden Hall , Beacon Hill . returning to Halifax on a steep setted path known as the Wakefield Gate.
No booking required, although we do ask that everyone carries an ICE card - we can supply if needed.
The walks will invariably involve ascent and descent, some of which may be steep. They will usually, depending on the weather, be soft and/or muddy, sometimes with ill defined tracks across fields or moorland - ensure you have appropriate footwear. Please consider your personal fitness and ability before attending the walk - if you're not sure, feel free to contact us for advice on the potential conditions, whilst the leader will base the walk on their own ability and may issue instructions where appropriate, you are ultimately responsible for your own safety. Please wear appropriate clothing for the prevailing weather, plan for the worst and hope for the best, bring any essentials and lunch.
