What we’re about

### Welcome to Feet First Wilderness Walks 🌿
Wild surf, Rugged bush clad hills, Delicately beautiful waterfalls. Resonating bird song. Kauri trees, Gurgling streams. Endless black sand beaches. Lakes and rocky shores. Breathtaking scenery and Plants, Birds and so much more , I'm lovin all of it. I hope you will too .
The Auckland & Waikato Region , our focus on this walking group has a wealth of natural and historic interest too, really, what more could we ask for?.
New Zealand's native trees and forests are also unique, they look, smell and feel like no other forests, in the world.
This group is for anyone who enjoys relaxed, guided by Stephen walks in and around Auckland and Beyond to the Waikato Region, and occasionally other places — easy, and medium levels of difficulty, no rush, no pressure...for All Ages .
Whether you're new to the city or a long term resident like me ...Or just want to explore it more mindfully, you're in the right place as I've got a real passion for bringing people together for Urban Walking & Hiking in Auckland, and the Waikato Region.
Join me, Stephen F, Original Founder of Feet First Hiking Meet Up Group. Est 2010.
I've been bringing people together for Urban Walking and Hiking for many years, And I have a special interest in helping you learn something together about the things we see along the tracks, like the names of trees, plants and birds, and Slowing down and Connecting with Nature
.
Preparation for these walks is easy, if you wear good strong Walking Shoes with grip, or Hiking Boots , and in winter, something warm to wear against your chests or breasts..should the weather suddenly turn cold.
Of course bringing good nutritious food for lunch, and fueling the body, helps with overall pleasure outside in all weather .
We carpool, share rides to get to our Events and Carparking, so its important to have a Clear recognizable Face picture of yourself on your profile when you join us..
Most of all its up to you, when you want to get outdoors together with us ..to make new friends and go outdoors and indoors activities here in Auckland and the Waikato.
Come , prepared for wonderful scenery together and to forget about life for awhile.
