Let the Leader Know!
Dont leave it until the last minute to tell the leader you want to go on a walk. Walks have been
cancelled because the leader thought no one was interested. In some cases complicated
transport arrangements have to be organised.

Day Walks
Confirm your interest by the previous Wednesday if possible. Late starters may still be accepted.

Overnight Walks
Advise the leader of your intention as early as possible and confirm details
before the walk.

Overnight Walks
Advise the leader of your intention as early as possible and confirm details before the walk.
When selecting a walk do not over-
estimate your experience of fitness. Walks
shown as L or XL, and in terrain types 4 or
5 are for fit and experienced walkers only.
Leaders have the right to refuse any
person/s they believe are not suitable for
the walk.
Do not be offended if the leader suggests
you start with an easier walk.
It is most important that you keep in
contact with a party while walking. Do not
surge ahead, go off on your own or
assume the leader wants to go the way
you are heading. Quite often the leader is
at the rear of the party assisting slower
walkers.
If you become separated from the party
and you are not sure of the route, go back
to the last point you were in touch and
stay there until found.
Note that the miscellaneous cost shown is
only a guide. The actual cost will depend
on the distance travelled and the current
cost of fuel.
All walks depart from the parking bay
opposite Cousins Motor Inn, Glen Innes
Rd, Inverell unless otherwise stated.
