Wednesday Walks for Women #27 2018: Belair for Beginners

THIS IS A BEGINNERS WALK

Please arrive at 10am for 10.15am start :)

As it is going to be a potentially wet/sunny day, the following items will be needed:

- a daypack (35 litre) backpack

- 1-2 litres of water

- sun protection (hat, sunnies, suncream) or wet weather gear (we will check the forecast and remind you all what to expect!)

- blister kit/personal meds

- high energy snack/fruit

- boots/comfortable walking shoes

- warm clothing for after the walk (jumper/jacket)

- walking poles (optional)

Our walks are all about fun, fitness and friendship - not a personal training session. If we can't walk and talk at the same time we are walking too fast!

We encourage you all to walk with different people throughout the walk and with varying paces in any group, we re-group regularly so no-one is left behind.

Please note this walk will take approx 2 hours and we will walk a couple of easy trails (Microcarpa Hike and Lorikeet Loop).   

Refreshments are included at the end of our walk.  

We meet just outside the Belair National Park - parking in the Belair Country Club carpark off Upper Sturt Rd turn into the Caravan Park signed entry approx 100m from the main park entrance.  There toilets located just inside the park to the left of the entry gate.  

Look for the Big Heart Adventures car/flag when you park. 

If the weather forecast is for extreme weather or a fire ban is issue for the Adelaide Hills, this walk will be cancelled the day before and fully refunded. 

Please ensure you have the minimum gear required as no refunds are possible after booking.

Your leaders for this walk are Kellie Desteno.  Our leaders carry group first aid kits, emergency communication devices and are qualified bushwalking leaders.

Our walking program for 2018 is supporting MOSH in South Australia who minimise suicidal harm by offering support services to families and anyone affected by suicide.  Thankyou for donating an extra amount to their cause when you book.
