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.

The Brine fields of Knott End & surrounds Sunday 11th July

Knott End is a mixture of modest resort and commuter village as it is close to Blackpool, Fleetwood & Lancaster. There are fabulous views across the bay to the South Lakes. The walk takes in cross country parts, the Brine fields, the estuary of the River Wyre, the local golf course and more. It is an easy 6 mile ramble and we will stop about 3/4 the way round at a cafe at the 10th hole of the golf course which offers sandwiches, snacks and drinks at very reasonable prices. If you want to bring your own sandwiches that is ok too of course! There is a pub at the end if anyone wants to go for a pint and they do traditional English cuisine.
