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 Sunday Strenuous Walk.
Distances are over 10 miles.
Please note, this walk replaces the Area walk planned for 22 February 2026 that is shown in the printed programme. This has been changed because of the closure of Piccadilly station for part of February. A different walk for 22 February avoiding Piccadilly will be posted on this site at a later date.
