Come and join us on this more challenging walk through Mt Worth. This is real bushwalking experience - be prepared for the track to be overgrown in places, bending under trees, climbing over fallen trees, slippery track and other unknowns! You MUST also be prepared for snakes and carry two snake bandages. You must have completed a MC challenging walk with EYCZ before and/or have a leader voucher for you if I haven't walked with you before. This walk does include a very steep hill at the start, but the good news is its mostly downhill after that. Hiking poles are recommended.
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!
This is 100% achievable for anyone without mobility issues, and we will take it slowly, with plenty of breather stops.
