✊ Note: Active Muslims is equally about focusing on the actual activity, in this case, it is a paced walk/hike (and not a stroll), therefore it is advised to approach and attend these events with that mindset, intention and purpose.

🥾 This is deliberately intended to be a very muddy hike, – hopefully there is enough mud on the day!

Why a muddy hike?
🤎 More effort / calories required
🤎 Improve balance
🤎 Reduce stress: your brain will be too occupied!
🤎 Let go, release your inner child!
