Hi Friends,

Welcome to our "At Night - Winter Series Walks"
This evenings walk will be through Newmarket Park, Parnell and Hobson Bay. Undulating walk at a moderate pace, some sections of gravel, steep stairs and unformed coastal path. We'll experience the Parnell forest and Hobson Bay coast path, juxtaposed with the beautiful homes of Parnell.

Bring your good self along to explore an area that may be new to you, get some exercise and meet friends. Be prepared for whatever the weather throws at us, check the forecast at www.metservice.com
Bring a bright torch, you will be walking in the dark.

If you have an interest in exercise, new places, local knowledge and lighthearted chitchat, then this walk is a great way to spend your Tuesday evening. Good training for a Great Walk or recovering runners.
