About us

You will find a welcoming and supportive community here; join us for exciting and rewarding experiences in the great outdoors and our beautiful State, and through connecting socially.
Group Rules
1. Please do not use our group as a means of advertising of any kind.
2. In order to foster a safe environment we do not allow offering of lifts; if someone asks for a lift then an offer can be made, but the leadership will check that the person offering is well-known within the group. No liability is accepted for this situation though.
3. Please only use the general comments and event comments sections for relevant information, responding to group discussions, and please leave answering other people's questions to the leadership.
4. Our average walking pace is around 4km per hour, and we ask that you be able to maintain this pace before signing up, especially for more challenging routes. If you stop for a photo or some other reason, it is your responsibility to catch up with the group.
5. Our group is a safe and friendly space and inappropriate behaviour will not be tolerated.
Finally, please only book an event if you truly intend participating.
Please bear in mind that we are volunteers and have busy lives, so these rules are important.
Happy trails!
