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.

Snowdon Railway option for weekend away 17/19th Jun Walking Weekend Betws Y Coed

Patrick has also sent some info about the Snowdon Railway in case anyone is interested in this as an option to one of the organised walks from Betws Y Coed for the weekend away on 17-19 June..   
Hi Derek, some people on the walk w/end have expressed an interest in taking the train to Snowdon, and I wondered if you wanted to forward some details: 45 mins drive from Betws y Coed to Llanberis Station (pay and display) from where the train departs. Trains every 30 mins after 9 a.m. costs £19 single to the summit (can walk back but have no routemap-would take about 2 hours to descend on the easier route) and £25 return. Return journey takes 2 and a half hours with a half hour stop at the new leisure complex at the summit. Phone booking recommended (08444938120-£3.50 admin charge!!), but can't book by phone on the day of travel-just have to turn up and pay.

Sunday 12 June Goyt Valley and Errwood Hall

This Sundays walk which David and I will be leading is a pleasant 6 miles which involves some gradual uphill incline as well as flat walking across moorland and woodland. Boots recommended. We stop at Errwood Hall (ruin) for lunch, please bring sandwiches - there is nowhere to buy any refreshments. There is also the opportunity to visit a small Victorian Shrine dedicated to the former governess of the house.

Derek
