The Oldham Group, located on the edge of the Peak District, enjoy walking in our local area and surrounding countryside, often venturing into Lancashire, Derbyshire, Yorkshire and Cheshire and and are active in protecting the places we like to walk.
Our activities include short and easy walks, moderate walks along with footpath maintenance.
You are very welcome to join us for a walk or two, before becoming a member of the Ramblers. Just turn up at the start point with your boots, waterproofs, lunch and a drink.

Walks on Sundays - moderate (5 to 7 miles).
Longer walks Saturdays/Sundays - moderate/strenuous (10 to 12 miles)
