The GM Walking Festival runs through May, as national walking month, spreading and celebrating the joy and benefits of walking and wheeling (with buggies, wheelchairs and other mobility aids).
Today I’ve been on one of the 400 free, led walks taking place across #GreaterManchester as part of the festival.
I learnt lots about the many benefits of #walking and moving for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including asthma and hypertension. As well as enjoying a lovely walk and chat in my local park.

The Secrets of Whalley Range & Alexandra Park: crazy suburban tales. 10.30am Saturday 9 March 2024
The fascinating and stirring story of the creation of a planned posh suburb, the changes over time, its relationship with Alexandra Park, it mighty buildings, its churches and its people.
There are tales of bravery and of farce, there are laughs and there is drama. There is music of course, and stories of lost aquariums, pleasure gardens and mighty mansions.
If you live in the area or are looking for a tour that's a bit different and focuses on an area outside the city centre, then this tour will not disappoint.
Meet: the north-eastern gates of Alexandra Park at the junction of Claremont Road and Smalldale Avenue. Finish: close to the Hilary Step bar on Upper Chorlton Road.
Tickets £15. Duration: most tours last between ninety minutes and two hours. Fully accessible. Totally fascinating. @WhalleyRangeorg@AlexParkMCR@ManCityCouncil @vist_manchester @BBCRadioManc
