Walks

This group walks on Fridays from March to late November, commencing at 10:00am.

Walks are of 2.5 to 3 hours in duration and can include bush tracks that are not paved.

Walks are at a different location each week, mostly in the Adelaide Hills, somewhere between Elizabeth and Willunga.

A program of meeting locations is emailed to members regularly.  Also click on the "Next Walk" tab on the "Home" page for the next meeting location details, including a map.

After the walk we all enjoy a packed lunch (self catered) with tea/coffee and cake (on Roster) provided.

 There are also other groups that walk on various other days for different durations.
