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.
Please note, this walk replaces the Area walk planned for 15 Feb '26 that is shown in the printed programme. This has been changed because of the closure of Piccadilly station for part of February. If a replacement walk from a different station is planned for 15 Feb details will be given on this site at a later date.
