Event Details

Escaping Your Comfort Zone - Side by Side Nature Walks is for women who want chilled out, short and slow adventures. We don’t care about size, speed or fitness. We go slow, we go short, we leave no one behind. It’s about fun in the outdoors, because we can! These walks are for women aged 50+.

A huge thanks to Cate, who is leading this one!

Park at River end of Swanston Street outside Landy Field. There’s a picnic table and toilets. We’ll walk up past the rowing clubs and over the Moorabool Street Bridge then down past the golf club to the break, crossover the break and amble back on the South Geelong side. There’s actually a really lovely picnic table area right on the river near the car park some birdlife and there might be some rabbits and muffins .

CARPOOLINGCarpooling is a great way to save car park space, cut down our environmental footprint, and travel with new friends. Many of us come from similar areas, so please drop a note in the chat if you can offer a lift or need one.  It's great to offer a small contribution (or even a coffee) to your driver.
