What we’re about
This is a Hiking and Urban Walking Group for Anyone over 50 who would like to explore the many walks and on hiking trails throughout Auckland and the Waikato Region and North to Whangarei and other places.
Most likely you are living in Auckland, or visiting and want to get active with other people who share your passion for outdoor activities, particularly Hiking, Tramping, and Urban Walks.
Blessed with a favorable almost Mediterranean climate and expansive harbours and seaway, Auckland is one of the most popular playgrounds in the world.
Preparation for our Hiking and Urban Walks , should be fairly easy, particularly if you've been interested in getting outdoors together or on your own reasons, for many years, And if you're just starting out , we will have what you need to bring along, listed on our upcoming over 50 plus Group Activities as we Welcome in warmer weather conditions, daylight savings and weather more settled.
Good Walking and Hiking Boots go towards making for an easier day, as well as wearing wool layers in colder days, and bringing along sun protection on warmer climate days. A rain jacket is highly recommended to be carried every occasion, and bring lunch, water, and snacks with you always.
Carry everything you Need for the Days Activities in a Small backpack and perhaps consider using hiking poles, one or two. These go a long way to helping ease away pains, in the knees and the lower back, give your body and mind confidence Walking and Hiking downhill if the trails are slippery or muddy.
Most of all, we will leave the fast paced walking and hiking to other groups. At 50 and Beyond, there's nothing much left to prove, except slower paced walks for everyone's pleasure here on Over 50's TRAILBLAZERS..
Join us for some fun recreational outdoor gentle exercise and socializing this summer and good hiking and walking around Auckland and Beyond.
About Me- I've been bringing people together for outdoor activities for decades, in Auckland after starting the popular Feet First Hiking Meet Up Group , in 2010. I have a quirky extroverted personality that encourages members to walk mindfully..exploration of the tracks ahead and also learning something about the history, people and settlements we visit...the names of trees and their uses, and the birds we see and hear. I have a passion for sharing knowledge about the days activities together.
We share rides to get to our Events, Carpooling together, keeping costs low, and fun...for weekend and occasionally mid week recreational connections.
We look forward to making your acquaintance soon .
Happy Walking Everyone
