Friday Walks
The Friday walk is organised for those walkers who would like to walk a longer distance and at a reasonable pace. It will generally cover a distance of 10 - 21 kms and take between 3 and 5 hours. These walks are usually held on bush tracks around the Wellington region and cover both flat and hilly terrain. At the conclusion of the walk coffee and/or lunch is held at a designated cafe or bar.
If you are interested in joining this group, it is important to make contact prior to your first walk by emailing us.
Planned Walks
The planned Friday walks over the next few months are listed here and this list is updated regularly. This schedule also lists any alternative routes that may be used in case of bad weather. The group may split into two to accommodate those wanting to walk at a slower pace. This group may set off at an earlier time or take a modified route. Due to weather or limited access, the designated walk may change. It is important to contact us at least two days prior to the walk for up-to-date information on the next walk.
