COULD YOU JOIN OUR FOOTPATH TEAMS?
Ramblers Trafford Group is looking to add members to the Footpath Inspection and Path Maintenance teams.
Members carry out a variety of activities and each person chooses to help in whatever way suit them best.
Some walk local footpaths and check that the paths meets the standards laid down by Trafford Council.
