We walk Friday mornings, rain or shine. All Newcomers are welcome and there is no requirement to pre-register. One of the Walk Leaders will forward the pre-walk publicity/instructions by email; normally we do this on the Wednesday preceding the walk.
Walks usually start at 9:30am and any deviations from this are advertised in the pre-walk publicity.  Please note that all walks are subject to change at any time.  Most walks are 5 - 7 km and last 1 - 1.5 hours and are normally followed by coffee/sticky buns at a suitable establishment in the area. Dogs are welcome on the walks, (unless prohibited by local authorities – which will be announced). When dogs are permitted, they must always be on a leash to ensure the safety of everyone and any wildlife in the area. We encourage car pooling, especially for walks that are at a distance. The Walk Leader will include car-pooling instructions in the pre-walk publicity.
If you have any  questions about the walks or a specific walk, contact the Coordinator or any Walk Leader.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Although safety is a factor in determining the choice of routes, all walkers are ultimately responsible for their own safety and comfort. For this reason, we offer a number of recommendations for those who walk with us. Foremost, we strongly recommend that walkers remain with the group until it returns to the point of departure.

We also recommend that walkers:
1) assess their own personal fitness and suitability for walks over various types of terrain
2) wear footwear that is suitable for occasional rough or slippery sections.
