Walk Description
Please join me for my first (but hopefully not last) breakfast hike of 2026. We will meet in the Cathedral grounds at the statue of Nelson and enjoy a 2 hour approx walk of our fine city, including but not limted to a bit of riverside, the peaceful Rosemary Cemetary (SORRY NO DOGS PERMITTED HERE), and a stunning view from up top of Ketts Heights. We will have a drink break up there and enjoy the view before continuing on. We end the walk on Magdalen Street, where we can have breakfast at The Glasshouse pub for a post walk feed and social (this bit is optional).
After the walk: You are welcome to enjoy a bargain Wetherspoons breakfast / or drink at the Glasshouse on Magdalen St. This is entirely optional. You can just come for the walk. :)
