Training Walks
Once a month we schedule a weekend walk at various locations in and around Greater Melbourne. We're in the process of organising similar walks in other cities around Australia like Brisbane, Perth, Cairns and Sydney.
These walks are an excellent opportunity to mix with like minded adventurers and members of the expedition PNG team, not to mention a chance to walk in new gear, gain some fitness in preparation for an upcoming big walk.
The best part is that they're
ABSOLUTELY FREE and open to anyone who'd like to come along.
The following are the dates, locations, times etc for our upcoming walks. Please take note of the RSVP date as we do need to know numbers attending.
Note: More details will be sent out once we receive an RSVP from you.
