Walking is one of the best ways get out into nature and experience everything our area has to offer, and no one loves going for a walk more than our four-legged friends.
Last week we ran through some of our top picks for the best autumnal walks in each Greater Manchester borough, but this week, it’s all about the doggos and thankfully, someone on Reddit – who goes by the name @Icy_Mathematician527 – has made a guide featuring a collection of the best dog walking spots across the region.
So, which locations have made the cut when it comes to the best places to take your pup to let off some steam?
The places currently featured on @Icy_Mathematician527’s as-yet-unfinished list are – Chorlton Ees and Chorlton Water Park, Longford Park, Fletcher Moss Park & Gardens, and the slightly further afield Styal Woods in Wilmslow, and Spud Woods in Lymm, which are both over the border into Cheshire, so there’s plenty of places to choose from.
Apart from this being a tried-and-tested collection of walks enjoyed by @Icy_Mathematician527 and their four-legged friend though, there’s another reason why this guide stands out from the rest and is worth paying attention to.

And that’s because each location on the list comes with a specially-recorded hyperlapse video.
This impressive technology allows you to see just what it’s like to walk around each place and lets you check out what it has to offer before you decide to head there yourself, making it a really useful tool for people unsure of what hidden gems lie within our region.
Hyperlapse or moving time-lapse – sometimes also known as stop-motion time-lapse, walklapse, or spacelapse – is a specific technique in time-lapse photography that is used for creating motion shots.
In its simplest form, a hyperlapse is achieved by moving the camera a short distance between each shot.

The type of hyperlapse used by @Icy_Mathematician527 to create this collection of videos is known as a ‘walking hyperlapse’, which is a special technique that requires a person in the frame to walk at a specified interval, so when played back, the person will appear to be walking at normal speed, while everything else in the video appears to move quickly through the scene.
And it’s safe to say it’s pretty impressive.
Some of the more recent videos are even captured using a 360 degree lense for a fully-immersive experience, but @Icy_Mathematician527 admitted they are still getting to grips with this technique and are hoping to “get a bit better as [they] play with it more”.
Head on over to @Icy_Mathematician527’s Reddit account here to check out these brilliant videos for yourself.
They are also welcoming suggestions for where next to head to across the Greater Manchester region, so don’t forget to add your two cents, and be sure to keep your eye on the r/manchester Reddit thread too if you want to see when new videos are posted.

Billie Eilish reveals the reason why chose Manchester to film her new movie
Danny Jones
Global superstar Billie Eilish has revealed the reason why she chose Manchester, of all places, to film her upcoming new movie.
The answer won’t surprise you, but we were buzzing with it nonetheless.
In case you were unaware, Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour is the new documentary and live concert film directed by Billie herself, along with some help from none other than James Cameron.
Being screened not only in cinemas but also in 3D (yes, that’s still a thing), the performance-based movie captures content taken from her run of gigs right here in Manchester. Here’s why she picked us:
Though it’s still no surprise, really, we always find it so surreal seeing some of the world’s most famous artists speaking so highly about our city.
As you can see, while she did quip that the schedule lined up production-wise, it was an easy decision to pick her four – yes, FOUR sold-out nights at Co-op Live, as the place to film the project based on the atmosphere alone.
“I fricking love Manchester”, said the 24-year-old, going on to add, “Honestly, Manchester is one of my favourite audiences ever.”
Manc fans simply couldn’t get enough of her, hence why she was able to book so many big dates at the massive arena.
Here’s the big surprise she brought out for the show we were lucky enough to be at:
We love Billie and, as it turns out, she feels the same about us.
The release date for Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft tour movie is coming around early next month, with the film set to be screened in selected cinemas across the UK and beyond on May 8, 2026.
Speaking in the recent interview on the red carpet with the BBC, she also detailed how fellow Academy Award-winner Cameron contacted her first about the prospect of creating this immersive music project.
Imagine just picking up the phone to James Cameron – as you do…
Will you be watching? Better still, were you at one of the shows and plan to look out for yourself in the crowd, which is now soon to be splashed on the big screen?
Manchester United home kit for 2026/27 ‘leaked’ online in unboxing video
Danny Jones
Manchester United’s new home kit for the 2026/27 campaign has reportedly been leaked online in a YouTuber’s unboxing video ahead of next season.
We know fake shirts and dupes can be pretty accurate these days, but it looks very much like this could be the real deal.
Shared by dedicated football kit reviewer, ‘Retro Man‘, who has seemingly revealed the latest Man United jersey, this unveiling lines up with the previously rumoured designs circulated on social media.
A Red Devil himself, the creator has teased previous releases that turned out to be true in the past, so we’ll leave it up to all of you to decide how bona fide you think this supposed home strip is. Ever-reliable footy fashion peers, Footy Headlines, have also shared these images:
Uploaded to the channel on 25 April, Retro Man did a full overview of the United 26/27 home shirt, highlighting key features such as a red-forward collar with black and white accents.
That same trim is repeated on the ends of the sleeves – reminiscent of the 2011/12 iteration, only differing in the more crew neck style – and the back of the neck now simply reads “UNITED”.
It is worth noting that this is specifically the replica shirt that most fans will purchase.
Should it prove to be the genuine article, this will be the 11th Manchester United kit by adidas since they returned as manufacturers over a decade ago, a.k.a. the start of the Louis van Gaal era.
Retro Man has since posted another video showing off what he claims to be the ‘authentic’ version, too; you can check it out in more detail down below.
Looks pretty legit…
As you can see, the official player edition that will be worn on the pitch by actual United squad members (though they are still available to purchase by the public) appears to hold some key distinctions.
Besides some differences around the panelling and stitching, there is also a noticeable textured section along large sections of the interwoven fabric as part of the brand’s breathable and trademark ‘Climacool’ technology.
Elsewhere, the badge itself also looks to have a more embossed/raised finish. If this is the real deal, what do you make of it?
This isn’t the only United kit that’s caught some attention of late, either:
