Walking in Rochdale and beyond

We’re one of the 500 Ramblers groups who help our local community to discover and enjoy walking in the local area and beyond.

Normally we organise walks on weekends and Thursdays. Most of the walks are in and around the South Pennine area and are off road in rural areas.

• Thursday walks are about 7 miles of a Moderate grade on alternate Thursdays and 5 miles Leisurely grade on the other Thursdays.
• Weekend walks are on alternate Saturdays and Sundays, normally moderate grade and between 7.5 and 12 miles. We also organise leisurely Saturday walks once a month of about 5 miles.
• During the summer months we occasionally organise coach trips and other events to walk further afield. There is a charge for these trips and places must be booked with the walk leader, see the walks programme.
• We have occasional social events.
