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.

Area long walk. Distances are generally 9-10 miles unless specified.
In planning, this route leaves Littleborough through the local park and passes through Clough, Lower Stone Pits, Old Charles Hill, and Owler Head Clough. Following the Pennine Bridleway, we then cross the canal and walk along by the lovely Chelham reservoirs towards Castleclough, Bar House and Whittaker Lane to head back into Littleborough via Ealees wood.
Once I’ve done a couple of recce’s, the route may change slightly depending on conditions underfoot.
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.
