This morning a group of ladies enjoyed a hike in Morialta where they headed to Third Falls via Hogans Track. Great hiking conditions, though care was taken on some of the steeper sections which were a little slippery after the rain we had. The sound of flowing water was lovely for all to hear!

Well done to all who took part.

CAFE CONNECT

We are excited to let our community know that we are trialling the introduction of shorter urban/coastal walks into our walking program. This is in response to feedback we have received seeking shorter/easier walks.

We are calling these walks 'Cafe Connect', as each walk will be followed by an opportunity to 'connect' at a cafe at the completion of the walk with a cuppa and conversation☕🍰

To trial this initiative, we have added two 'Cafe Connect' walks during August and we would love for you to join us!

Friday 22nd August (10am to 12pm)
Cafe Connect - Oakden (4km)
Event Link - https://www.wisewomenwalking.org.au/index.cfm?module=event&pagemode=indiv&page_id=3054450

Friday 29th August (10am to 12pm)
Cafe Connect - St Clair Wetlands (4km)
Event Link - https://www.wisewomenwalking.org.au/index.cfm?module=event&pagemode=indiv&page_id=3054466

A great evening was had at our Exurbia Gear Night which was held last night.

We are extremely grateful to the staff of Exurbia who shared their knowledge and tips in relation to daypacks, hiking poles, water bladders, wet weather gear, layering of clothing and much more. We all left with more knowledge and practical ideas to make our future adventures even better.

Congratulations to our three prize winners and a huge thank you to Exurbia for donating the wonderful prizes the prize recipients won!

Exurbia have been strong supporters of our club since our inception and we look forward to continuing this wonderful relationship into the future.

This morning a lovely group of women walked the Wine Shanty Trail in Cleland National Park. Lots of smiles and conversations were had during the walk, with also some quiet time to allow walkers to tune into the sounds around them, and their senses.

If you have never done the Wine Shanty Trail before, it is a 10km loop that has some mild undulations as well as a few steeper sections to challenge walkers. Well done to the group who completed it today!

Over the weekend we had two walks on offer.

On Saturday we held a walk in Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park where walkers enjoyed a beautiful foggy morning. Kaiserstuhl is a hidden gem in the Barossa region which we highly recommend to anyone who loves a peaceful nature walk. One of the walkers spotted a tawny frog mouth!

Then on Sunday a group enjoy the beauty of Belair National Park, walking the Belair Waterfall Hike. The conditions were quite warm for a Winter's day. Well done all!
