Distance up to 25 km. Trips Trips are multi-day walking adventures that usually involve camping or staying in accommodation. These trips are more challenging and require a higher level of fitness and experience. They are led by experienced leaders who ensure the safety and well-being of all participants.

Back Packing Back packing involves carrying all necessary equipment and supplies in a backpack and camping overnight in the wilderness. These trips are suitable for those who enjoy the challenge of self-sufficiency and are experienced in bushwalking. Other Outdoor Activities In addition to bushwalking, the club offers a range of outdoor activities. Members can participate in urban walks, cycling, canoeing, and conservation work.

These activities provide opportunities to explore different environments and engage with nature in various ways. Socials The club organises regular social gatherings throughout the year. These events allow members to connect, share experiences, and build friendships outside the walking activities. It's a chance to relax, have fun, and celebrate our shared enthusiasm for walking and the outdoors.

Training The club offers a training programme in bushwalking skills for members who want to further develop their knowledge and abilities. These sessions cover a range of topics such as navigation, first aid, equipment selection, and campsite setup. Leadership The club encourages and supports members who are interested in becoming walk leaders. Leadership training is provided to equip members with the necessary skills and confidence to lead walks and ensure the safety of participants.
