The MPC is the second-oldest walking club in the UK, founded in 1903. For most years since then, it has planned walks each Saturday - more than 5500 so far - mainly on the hills around Manchester, followed by refreshment in a nearby venue.
Also occasional Festival Weekends and weekday walks.

See Photographs of earlier walks, sent in by members during the 2020 lockdown.
However, the Pandemic disturbed that, and our walks programme is being reconsidered. Most weeks there is a walk of around 5 miles (8 km) at Dunham. Other walks will be arranged in due course.
