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 short walk.
The walk is mainly flat. We will start from the train station at Waterloo and go through Rimrose Valley Country Park, then down to the Marina at Waterloo and along the beach/prom to Lower Alt Estuary and Hightown. The walk will be 8-ish miles long. High tide at Crosby on 29th is 3.48pm, so the tide will be coming in when we get there.
We will meet at Piccadilly train station for the 9.37 to Liverpool (ask for return to Hightown because we will change to Merseyrail for the last leg). For anyone wanting to make their own way to the start, I am aiming to start the walk at 11.30
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.
