We're on BBC Ramblings!

The lovely Clare Balding joined us recently for a Stage 16 walk near Marple and recorded a radio show of her experience. Have a listen, you'll even get to hear Clare hammering in extra waymarks on the trail!

Oh, those pictures are just 😍

Time to try stage 3 in the winter months!

[Hiking Historian @HikingHistorian]

Following those two short starters, onto the main course: stage 3 of the @GmRingway, Didsbury-Bramhall. A wonderful route through ever-changing landscapes: river, woods, roads, railway.

We've been nominated!

Thanks to @WalkRideGM for choosing us as finalists in the Best Campaign/Community Group category at the Walk Ride GM Awards 2024 tomorrow evening.

We'll let you know the result, but it's a tough category with many strong nominations, so good luck everyone!

Today I became the President of the Ramblers in Greater Manchester & High Peak. It’s an honour to take on this role- as I discovered on the @GmRingway- there’s so much to explore in our local area and I look forward to using this role to promote accessible routes 🥾🥾🥾

Did you know the GM Ringway was made possible thanks to funding from @HeritageFundUK?

Last week, they celebrated 30 years of transforming communities, and we’re so proud to be part of it. Here’s to many more years of impact! 🙌

Craving adventure and stunning scenery near Manchester?

🌄Stage 8 takes you from Broadbottom to Greenfield with Highland vibes, panoramic valley views, and the wild, breathtaking Wilderness at its peak. Not for the faint-hearted, but SO worth it.

Eek! Did you see the recent article on the GM Ringway in The Guardian?

Chris Moss walked the 10-mile Stage 16 from Wigan to Leigh and gives an honest review of his experience. He even gave a glowing report of the 'idiot-proof' @gojauntly trail app!
