The aerial yoga was a lot of fun. An hour wasn’t long enough 🥰
Lunch was absolutely delicious too. 😋
First timer and had a great time, lovely group of ladies and I look forward to many more
What a great to spend a beautiful day. Beautiful scenery and great company.
This was a great walk - beautiful place to walk. Betty is fantastic - there is never any pressure to try and keep up with the group and so I can walk at my own pace - with Betty keeping a close eye out.
Sue was always at hand when we needed her, and the meals were great. Jazz looked after us all day, and I think I got extra attention because I was old, although I think she will agree that I managed OK. And Leonie was just an extra bonus, especially with her i-phone tips.
A fabulous first hike with Adventurous Women!
Well-organised and with a great group of women.
Flinders Peak has been on my bucket list for a few years now and I am so glad that I have finally reached the summit. It is not an easy hike but it is challenging in that it is mostly uphill with a rocky ridge to walk along and many more rocks to climb. I loved it and would do it again. Thanks AW for hosting a great day out. As usual, your guides are welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful.
