What a lovely day out. The weather was just about perfect. Cool (not hot) and no rain.
I have done this walk before and I enjoyed the second time just as much as the first time. Jazzy had so much info about the places we were passing. She definitely puts the effort in to keep us informed about our own “Backyard”…..
Very much enjoyed my first walk with Adventurous Women. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and I'm really looking forward to the next one.
A beautiful walk in the very old rainforest with lots of waterfalls and cascades. Leader Chis carefully guided us over the many river crossings and rock hopping which all added to the fun adventure.
I had a great day for my first adventure . Excellent leadership with Leonie and I met some lovely ladies and I look forward to the next adventure.
A lovely walk with a variety of terrain and perfect walking weather. Lovely to meet new people and share stories and of course enjoy the well earned coffee at the end.
