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.

OoS member to participate in 26 mile 'Shine' marathon walk for Cancer Research UK

Hi folks - I wondered if you'd be interested in sponsoring me for a night time marathon walk? I would really appreciate your support and it's for a good cause too!

The walk starts at 10pm on Saturday 17 April from Manchester city centre. The route includes the Lowry Centre, Trafford Centre, Man Utd football ground, Moss Side, Chorlton and Whitworth Park.

I'm doing really well so far for sponsorship but as the walk draws nearer I'm beginning to wonder what I've left myself in for - 26 miles feels like a very very long way now! I need all the encouragement I can get and it would be fantastic if you were able to sponsor me. 

Have a look at my fundraising page on the JustGiving website: http://www.sponsormetoshine.org/davehibbert and click on the 'sponsor me now' button or if you prefer not to sponsor online send me a quick email and I can add your name to my sponsor form - daveinprestwich@btinternet.com 

I hope to be on the next walk on 11 April and I'll be leading a walk on the 25th April from Howarth (assuming I'm still in one piece!) and look forward to seeing you there. 

Thanks for taking time to read this.
David (from Prestwich!).
