A heads up for newcomers and first timers.
Our walking group is a fabulous Melting Pot of cultures, backgrounds, professions and life experiences.
We love our Walks.
We are INCLUSIVE OF EVERYONE………if you’re: kind, nice, fun, polite and respectful.
🌸😘🌸

On that note….
In recent times my walks are at capacity, which I’m capping at 40.
Regulars, regardless of numbers are always welcome….just PM me if you’re on a waitlist.
🌸♥️🌸

We walk at a medium pace of 4kms per hour, stopping for breaks and to take in the views.
It is a reasonable expectation that the group stays together.
It is your responsibility to stay in line of sight.
If you cannot walk at this pace, I will let you know of the next get out point.
This is not negotiable.
