Saturday 19th September – pub walk from Owd Betts

On Saturday 19th September, Josie  (07517 342495) will lead an easy 2 hour Grade 1 pub walk from Owd Betts, Edenfield Road, Rochdale OL12 7TY, with under 400ft of ascent. The walk will start at 10.30 from the parking spaces opposite the pub. The walk is mainly off road on grassy, some rough paths with no tracks, and a little road walking. We will pass the old ruins and head on down to Buckhurst and then return across the fell side to the Ashworth reservoir. 

The walk will finish by 12.30 or so, after which those who wish can retire to the pub for refreshments and/or lunch.

As ever,  some mud is possible, so please wear sensible shoes or boots, as well as a waterproof jacket in case of rain, and bring plenty of water to drink.  

This walk is free, but after 3 walks with us you are asked to join The Ramblers, at a cost of only £3.75 per month for an individual, or £5.08 for joint membership. 

Please note the following important points:

• Prior booking is mandatory via this link. This enables walk leaders to organise their walk in line with the number attending.
• Each individual walker must be on a separate booking, but if a walker does not have an email address, a friend or family member can book them on using their own email.
• Booking closes one hour before the walk starts.

If you want to bring a dog, you must ring the walk leader in advance to discuss.  You should also read the Dog Walking Code and be aware that any problems caused by your dog are not covered by the Ramblers insurance policy. 

If you have any other queries about coming on this walk, please contact the walk leader on the number above.  If you have booked on and are unable to attend, please inform the walk leader before the start of the walk.

Safety: We very much welcome new walkers with us, but if you are unsure about your ability to do the walk, then please contact the leader beforehand to discuss the demands of the walk and what you need to bring.  Also please note our safeguarding policy regarding children and vulnerable adults.
