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.

Sunday 8th July: Werneth Low

This is a walk of approximately six miles over Werneth Low taking in Etherow Country Park.  There are some fairly long, and in parts moderately steep, gradients, dropping into a couple of valleys and back up the Low (‘hill’ in ancient Saxon).  From the Low there is a panoramic view across greater Manchester.  On the way to and from Etherow Country Park there are views towards the Pennines, and the walk follows the river Etherow for part of the way.  In view of recent weather it is likely to be muddy in places, so boots are recommended.  There is a cafe for snacks and toilets at the Etherow Visitor Centre (about half way round) and the Hare and Hounds pub is close to the end of the walk.

The walk will be led by Phil and Phil
