Yes!! UMIII went very well indeed. It was really good to be back in the Camino mindset even if it was just for an afternoon.
Next catch up will be sorted no later than October. Hopefully everyone's planned way will be successful and come back and share with us!
Ultreia!
Slight change of plan folks.
Our planned trek to Gorton has to be pulled. It isn't available to us any more so we will still go ahead only we will MEET 1 HOUR LATER @ 12PM, Manchester Piccadilly Train Station.
See you Sunday
Hello there!
I've got this pilgrim get together sorted on Facebook - CLICK THIS LINK.
Will be good to catch up with you all, hopefully see some new faces and pass on high quality information, advice and share the Camino once again!
Just to summarize:
Sunday 19th April - Meet @ Piccadilly...
This looks to be an ideal venue for a meeting of some kind. I like the fact it has been restored and to a high spec it seems. This is the first time I've come across it.
How does Sat 13th Dec sound? This is plenty of time to sort ourselves out and be prepared for it.
It could be a good idea to focus on setting a date over Christmas for another meet up. I've found it difficult to pick a date recently, so if we concentrate on the couple of weeks around Christmas we could onto a winner.
So very sorry for my absence in the past months. Too much work maybe. My only highlight has been a last minute Yorks 3 Peaks trek in June.
An autumn event could be looming! Everyone seems happy, then so am I :)
Alright Ned! No ideas yet but need to get something sorted.
I like your idea of doing some of the 'Coast to Coast'. Where abouts do you think you would be? I am very interested in this. Over a couple of days as well it can be seen as a short holiday.

Pilgrims!
The time has come again for another social. Our first two events have been very successful so far. The last time, we went up Kinder Scout, in the Peak District, in an unexpected blizzard and came out victorious the other side.
Between then and our next gathering, a few have been...
What an afternoon!! It was great to catch up with everyone yesterday. The inclement weather did not deter us one bit over Kinder Scout.
Keep your eyes peeled for another one later in spring :)
Ultreia!!
Alrighty then,
The plans have been planned and are available to check out on the PDF below.
The gist:
Sat 22nd March, hiking up Kinder Scout in Edale.
Meet @ 10.15-10.30 before train sets off at 10.45 from Piccadily.
7 miles/4-5 hours.
Awesome day out!!
Any problems let me know...
Pilgrims,
After the very successful first event for Ultreia Mancunia in January, enough support has been given for a second event. This time it will be a hike/trek in the Peak District for a day on a weekend. We could even camp out if anyone would like to. The target date will be Saturday...
Howdy pilgrims,
I emailed everyone from the list today about a next social. Looks like going for a trek could be a good idea. It could be good if we pick a weekend then take it from there. There are plenty of good spots in the north west, its just a matter of organising everyone to be in the...
Excellent stuff. A new date for our 2nd meeting can be worked out. I have everyone's email so keep and eye out, I'll put something on here as well.
There were a good number of 1st time pilgrims on Saturday, and I think it was very beneficial for them. They were asking lots of questions about...
For sure there will be a next time!! I have the list with everyone's (maybe around 20 odd pilgrims) email. Maybe one in the spring, definitely another in the summer
