UPDATED - WMA - Introductory Walk (East Perth - 7kms)
The Partisan, 60 Royal St, Perth, WA, AUIntroduction to WMA
We'll continue hosting a series of introductory walks aimed at WMA members who are returning to walking, building up distance/fitness, on a recovery plan following injury and/or want to walk and learn more about the WMA team and hosts. It's probably an ideal opportunity to see if the group is for you before launching into our 10k+ City Park walks and/or Bush walks as we near the Perth hiking season.
Walks will start from the Partisan Cafe in Claisebrook Cove, East Perth. We'll take in the Cove, Matagarup Bridge, the outside of Optus Stadium, Windan Bridge, Heiresson Island/Boorloo Bridge before returning to the Partisan for an optional coffee and catch-up.
Meet: Partisan Cafe, Claisbrook Cove, EAST PERTH (Click on map for the exact meeting point)
Parking: There is plenty of free parking on Wittenoom St and paid parking on Royal Street
Distance: 7 km. However, there is the ability to do a shorter walk.
Difficulty: Flat terrain & mainly bitumen paths. Expect an easy walk but at a reasonable pace (5km/h) We should complete the walk in under 90 mins.
What to bring: Water, yourself and a good sense of humour
Toilets: At the Partisan or Toast cafe afterwards and along the way.

City Beach to Bold Park loop then a picnic (10km)
Clancy's Fish Bar, 195 Challenger Parade, City Beach, WA, AUWe can't let the Thursday's group have all of the fun!
WMA are having a picnic by the sea after our 10km walk in Bold Park.This walk starts near Clancy’s Fish Bar at City Beach and heads to Bold Park up the Reabold Hill Lookout, Zamia, Hovea, Possum, Camel Heritage, Yoorna, Pine, Sheoak Walks and back to the beach via the million dollar houses. We should complete this walk in 2 hours with a social picnic together afterwards. Optional beach swim for those with enough energy.
What to bring: A gourmet picnic of course but for those who can’t be bothered to prepare something you can buy take away Fish & Chips at Clancy’s Fish Bar who will also provide you with that coffee hit. There are also 2 BBQs just a little north of Clancys that might be free. BYO cold drink, a thermos of hot coffee and a chair/picnic rug. If the weather is favourable perhaps some bathers & towel for a dip in the ocean afterwards. At this stage it is forecast to be 18°C and sunny at the end of the walk.
Where to find us: Meeting at the car park just north of Clancy’s for a prompt start. Click on the map for the exact location.
Parking: Plenty of parking nearby.
Distance: Approx. 10km with the mandatory hill or two.
Difficulty: Some hard compacted limestone paths and a few sandy tracks. Some decent hills are also on the agenda. Expect an easy walk but at a reasonable pace (5.5 to 6 km/h). I would only recommend it for regular walkers. We should complete the walk in almost 2 hours.
Toilets: Near the meetup point.

Bold Park Tuesday Evening Walk (Internal Trails)
Bold Park, Tuart Car Park, Perry Lakes Drive, City Beach, AUJoin us for a workout along the internal bush trails of the beautiful Bold Park near City Beach. Expect a brisk hike, with an average speed of around 6kph, on undulating bush tracks with a few significant hills thrown in for fun.
At about 6km in length, this one hour workout is a great way to finish the day.
These hikes are intended for fit, regular walkers who are looking for more of a workout in nature as opposed to a gentle evening stroll.
So you don't get lost. Here is the map. 😁
