Welcome to the Out On Sunday Website/Blog



Out On Sunday is a walking group based in the North West of England in the UK for LGBTG people and their friends. Primarily based around the Manchester area, but with members from further north into Lancashire, east into Yorkshire and members also in Cheshire and North Wales.

Walks are run usually from late January through to November each year. Fortnightly from January to May, then weekly June thru August, then back fortnightly until the end of the walking timetable in late November. Once each season, we run a walking weekend usually in June when we visit an area of the country for the weekend and enjoy the scenery and cuisine too!

The current membership of the email list stands at over 250 people from all walks of life and a wide age range too. The resulting mix makes for great social interaction on the walks, with new faces joining regulars and friendships being built through some really fun days out. Most walks feature a stop off point for food and drink. We like to emphasise the social side of the walks, unlike other groups that don't make allowances for the older members, we set out at a reasonable pace and are happy to accommodate the less fit or older walkers.

Have a look through the archives on this blog to see where we have walked and the types of walking. You will also find some photographs taken on the walks. (All photographs are published with the full permission and knowledge of those photographed.) We can't guarantee good weather, but you can be sure of good company.


So if you would like to join the mailing list please send an email to Derek by clicking here asking to be added to the Out On Sunday Mailing List. You will then receive an email prior to each walk giving full information and a contact telephone number.

Weekend away in Hawes, Yorkshire Dales - 18 - 20 June


This years Out on Sunday weekend away will be in Hawes, North Yorkshire in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. There is some good walking accessible including a lovely walk from Aysgarth waterfalls to Bolton Castle which we would hope to do.
There are a number of B and Bs and a link is given below. A number of pubs in the town serve food.

As in previous years, please make your own arrangements for accommodation and I will email nearer the time at a pub where we can meet up on the Friday evening (18th).

Look forward to sharing another fun filled weekend away with you and hopefully the weather will be kinder this year.
