To help everyone have a safe and enjoyable walk, please consider the following:
- Dress for the weather – Wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing. Layers are great for cooler mornings and in Melbourne it’s almost always a good idea to carry a raincoat!
- Footwear – Wear comfortable, sturdy shoes that are suitable for walking.
- Sun protection – Wear a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen, especially during the summer months.
- Stay hydrated – Bring a water bottle and drink regularly during the walk.
- Pace yourself – Walk at a pace that is comfortable for you. It’s okay to take breaks if needed.
- Safety first – Watch for uneven surfaces, traffic, or obstacles along the route.
- Enjoy the social side – Walking is a great chance to connect with others, so feel free to chat and make new friends.
- Weather – If weather conditions are unfavourable, including to hot or wet, an SMS will be sent to participants. The group is encouraged to still meet at BCC for a cup of tea/coffee and a chat.
