Coach Walks Information

All what you need to know about our walks

On every excursion on the coach-

With your ticket you will be given a leaflet with details of the led walks on offer - the distance, the route, the name of the walk leader and the destination of the next fortnightly Sunday coach excursion. All you have to do is to choose which walk you are interested in joining

Walks are graded as follows:-

During the initial part of the journey you will be able to buy tickets for the next fortnight Sunday coach excursion
After one hour into the journey there is a brief toilet stop at a service station
The Coach will pull up at each walk's starting point and the Walk Leader will call out when the walk's party needs to get off
On the walk you are in the hands of the Walk Leader who will take you on the walk and make sure you enjoy the walk and get you back to the coach
After the walk there is usually about one hour for you to enjoy the destination town or village's facilities, ie cafe, pubs, restaurants, shops, places of interest
Make sure you are back on the coach at the stated departure time. (5.30pm Winter Excursions and 6.00pm Summer Excursions)
On the journey back the coach will stop at the morning pick up points and the final stop at Chorlton Street, opposite Coach Station, Britannia Hotel Side, Manchester M1 3JF

What you need so to enjoy our walks

Below is a guide to what you need to bring with you on the trip. It is not a definitive list but gives you an idea of what to expect.

Good footwear. Most of our walks will involve various combinations of footpaths, bridleways, tracks, roads, rocks and lumpy boggy moorland. You need to have the right footwear to protect your feet
Food for lunch. In all probability you'll be in the middle of nowhere at lunch time so you'll need a packed-lunch
Water or non alcoholic drinks
Water-proof clothing
Warm clothing. All our destinations have the potential to be a bit chilly; especially if the wind gets up. It's wise to always have a fleece, hat and gloves in your ruck-sack
Torch for Winter excursions. It can get dark very early at 4-5.00pm.

Please note that -

Footpath issues can be reported direct to the Ramblers via the Pathwatch webpage or app;
Be nice to your leader! They are trying to make your day enjoyable!
You should be reasonably fit to join the guided walks
