Weekend walks take place on the Saturday or Sunday after the monthly meeting.
In summer, there are shorter evening walks usually on Tuesdays or Thursdays.
Let us know you’re coming, then just show up at the starting point with good footwear (preferably boots) and suitable clothing.
Need help with directions or wondering how challenging a walk will be? Just ask!
Members and visitors walk at their own risk. Neither Saddleworth WI nor any walk leader is responsible for accidents or incidents.

Review of Walking Group 11/11 Challenge 2020
Walkers approached this in a variety of ways, from walking 11,000 steps each day for 11 days, to walking for 11 hours over the course of a week, being sponsored and donating to The Royal British Legion. Collectively they walked 336 miles, the equivalent of walking from Oldham to Truro in Cornwall! Well done to all walkers – what an educational and poignant project! The final amount raised was £395.
