"Women Who Walk, and men too" is a Mackay based #informal group. Whether you are a hiking novice, or more experienced, you will be most welcome.
The aim is to prepare for multi-day hikes, so if your hike is just a couple of months away please bring your loaded pack, walking poles, and wear the boots you will hike in. Of course, some people just enjoy coming along for a walk. You might like to bring a friend or partner along too.
We can give informal advice on adjusting packs, packing for your hike, appropriate footwear, and lightweight hiking and camping. And various group members can advise on great places to hike in and around the Mackay and Whitsunday area.
Leaflets are available on subjects such as How to use walking poles, Choosing the best boots for you, Hiking Gear lists, and more.

"Women Who Walk, and men too" list these unofficial urban hikes for informational purposes only and are not organisers paid or non paid for any hikes listed and accept no responsibility for the hike itself.
