All our walks are led by volunteers and are planned one week in advance.  If you don't see an itinerary on our homepage, that means no one has proposed anything yet.  And if one is not posted by Saturday, you can safely assume that there is no walk the following day.

We communicate via our website and we do not maintain a mailing list.

  • Show up PUNCTUALLY (no later than 10 minutes after the meeting time) at the meeting point of the walk.
 
A recap of our boot system
Wonder what a boot is? See explanation of our boot system. Easy relaxed walking, usually along the flat or with a few low hills involved. Suitable for inexperienced hikers.
Wonder what a boot is? See explanation of our boot system.Wonder what a boot is? See explanation of our boot system. More challenging walk, and usually longer (4-5 hours) but still within the endurance and capability of most walkers. Would not involve hills as high as 500 metres.

Requires endurance and not suitable for walkers who have difficulties in high places. 3 boots maybe allocated to a walk because of its length and/or because it involves elevations over 500 metres and/or tough walking. Not recommended for novice hikers.
