What is Walkaday? Walkaday is a
programme of friendly led-walks which
aims to encourage people to walk.
Walkaday is administered by Stockport
Council and walks are led by volunteers.
Welcome to Autumn/Winter 2016/17 Walkaday
Our programme of friendly led walks explores the parks,
footpaths and green spaces of Stockport on Tuesdays and
Thursdays. These Tuesday and Thursday walks are around
4 miles long and aim to encourage people who are new or
returning to walking by offering walks at a leisurely pace.
Unless stated otherwise, the starting time for most of the
Tuesday and Thursday walks is usually 1.30pm.
Walkaday 2016/17
How fit do I need to be? Walking is one of the best ways
to improve your health and fitness so why not start with
one of Walkaday’s Tuesday or Thursday walks and see how
your fitness improves weekly?
Theses walks provide a starting-point for people who are
new to walking, with the opportunity to enjoy the footpaths
of Stockport in friendly company. As you get fitter and
more used to walking, you may feel that you would like
to attempt longer walks and explore further afield. In this
case you could then try the Wednesday or Friday walks or
ring 0161 217 6111 for details of local walking clubs,
These walks are supported by:
Who can I contact for more information?
If you want any more information about the walks please
ring the Public Rights of Way Team at Stockport Council on
