Come and join us for a hike at the You Yangs!
On this hike we’ll be exploring the Northern Range walk. Starting from Turntable car park, we’ll start up the East/West walk, before joining the Northern Range track and finishing with a section of Branding Yard.
The trail is comprised of short rocky sections, dirt and gravel tracks.
Escaping Your Comfort Zone is Body Positive Adventures for women and non-binary crew. The outdoors don't care about your size, your speed or your fitness, and neither do we! 100% body positive, no focus on weightloss. Just having fun in the outdoors, cause we can!
If you are wondering if you're fit enough for this hike, the answer is YES!
