Welcome to I'd Rather Be Outdoors

We offer Nordic Walks in and around Stockport, Marple, High Peak and in Lyme Park.

Our Regular Walks take place on a variety of circular routes around the area, using a mixture of streets, canals, parks, woodland, riverside paths, and bridlepaths. It's sometimes surprising how quickly you can go from urban to semi rural, I love getting to show off walks or a surprising viewpoint off the beaten track that otherwise may have stayed hidden.

Our walks are on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Sometimes we go further afield for our Longer Walks, Peak District, Macclesfield Forest etc

 

I'd love to be able to help you get Outdoors too.
