Walks program

Note: although we walk in all sorts of weather, we sometimes cancel for safety reasons. Cancellation is automatic if there is a total fire ban in the relevant area or if the BOM forecast for Melbourne the night before the walk is for 300C or above.

Please note: It is strongly recommended that walkers arrange ambulance insurance as the club will not be responsible to meet the costs should an ambulance be required.

Before each walk, the walk leader provides information about the meeting place and conditions to expect. You can then decide if it is suitable for you.

If you want to join us on a walk, please contact us so we can provide more details and let you know of any
last-minute changes.
