👟 The Route
We’ll stroll the stunning 16 km ocean promenade, hugging the coastline from Brighton Beach to Fed Square (Transport Bar) via Beacon Cove and South Bank. Expect sea breezes, café pit stops, and plenty of chances to mingle. Whether you’re here for the views or the vibe, this walk is all about connection — with the ocean and each other. Feel free to exit at any point if the effort or heat becomes a tad too much. Public transport short cuts at St.Kilda and Port Melbourne.

🍽️ Food Stops & Flirty Pauses
We’ll pause at scenic cafés and food stops along the way — perfect for grabbing a coffee, sharing a snack, or sparking a conversation. At the end, we’ll celebrate with fish and chips at Beacon Cove, or hop a tram back to Transport Bar for a cheeky drink or meal around 3 p.m.

⚠️ Group Rules & Event Etiquette ⚠️
These are basic, commonsense standards that keep events safe, smooth, and enjoyable for everyone.

👟 Fitness Requirements
Walking: 3–4 km/hr

We walk at a relaxed pace. Please ensure you meet the fitness level for the event. If the group is forced to wait excessively, you may be asked to leave the event.

⛹️ Pace: Too Fast or Too Slow
Small social events rely on staying together. If you prefer a very different pace, consider going solo, joining a faster/slower group, or choosing events that match your fitness.

👩‍💼 Time Constraints
If you’re on a tight schedule, this may not be the right event. Social activities rarely run exactly on time.

⚠️ CRITICAL EXPECTATIONS ⚠️

👻 No‑Shows
No‑shows block waitlisted people from attending and disrupt small-group events.

• Remove yourself at least 24 hours before the event.
• No‑shows will likely be removed and blocked from the group.
• Last‑minute cancellations (“flaking”) may also result in group removal, especially when there is a waitlist.

👀 Attending Without Being on the Going List
This is a security issue.
Do NOT turn up unannounced.
If you’re not on the Going list and haven’t arranged it with the organiser beforehand, you will be asked to leave. Event check‑ins are performed.

⏰ Late Arrivals
If you’re late, the group will not wait.

• You may be marked as a No‑Show and removed from the group.
• It’s your responsibility to communicate and catch up—this may not be possible for some events.

🎲 Second Chances
If something goes wrong, communicate with the organiser. Silence + poor behaviour = removal. Communication + accountability = second chances. As the organiser is busy organising this may be impossible during the event.

🚩Disclaimer: No Liability & Organiser Indemnity
By participating in this event, you acknowledge and accept full personal responsibility for your own safety, wellbeing, and belongings. The organiser assumes no liability for injury, loss, or damage incurred during the activity. Participation is entirely at your own risk.
