Welcome to Bury Ramblers
Bury Ramblers Group is part of the Greater Manchester & High Peak Area of the Ramblers. We have approximately 170 members. However, we are always ready to welcome new members. We organise walks in some of the finest countryside in the North of England where there is an extensive network of footpaths. We organise all-day walks on most Sundays of the year. The group size on our walks is usually between 10 and 20. Walks are advertised in the Walks programme page and includes any late changes or cancellations to walks. If you are new to walking you can join us on up to three of our walks before deciding if you would like to become a member of Ramblers.
If you choose to join The Ramblers you are allocated to a local group based on your postcode (unless you choose otherwise). This doesn’t mean you can only walk with that group. You can walk with any other group you choose.

On a cool, misty day, Vincent Touhy led a group of eleven walkers on an interesting 8‑mile moderate-to-strenuous walk from Marsden. From St. Bartholomew's church in Marsden the route started with a climb up on to Holme Moor past a firing range to Deer Hill Reservoir for the morning break. From the reservoir, the group continued to Holt Head before descending to the Huddersfield Narrow Canal for the lunch break.
After lunch, the group continued along the Huddersfield Narrow Canal before climbing up towards Netherwood farm, then returned through woodland and lanes back into Marsden and a well-earned drink at The Railway pub.

Starting from Waterfoot, Malcolm led a group of 13 walkers on a 7.5 mile walk following sections of The Pennine Bridleway. We started with a steep climb up on to the moor, then onto Waugh's Well, where we stopped for the morning break. After the break, we continued up a rocky path and past a line of wind turbines towards Ding Quarry. After descending into the quarry, we carried on to the junction with Rooley Moor road. Here we turned north along the road, stopping just below Top of Leach for the lunch break. After lunch, the group descended to Stackheads in the Rossendale valley, then along the Rossendale way through the dramatic Thrutch gorge along the renovated cycle way, passing through the Newchurch railway tunnels running beside the River Irwell back to the start.
