The Weekday Walkers will hold their first walk of the year on March 7.
The group meets for a scheduled walk each Tuesday from March through to November and comprises residents from all over the Central Coast, varying in age and background.
A spokesperson for the group said it is a great way to extend your social group, increase fitness and get to know the Coastal national parks and some little known bushland gems in congenial company.
“For variety, we also venture to Sydney and Newcastle on occasions, where there are numerous walking opportunities of varying degrees of challenge, but always a great day out,” the spokesperson said.
“A reasonable level of fitness is essential for many of the walks, with some less challenging that serve the interests of some members, who are no longer able to undertake the more challenging adventures.”
The walk on March 7 will be to the Mount Bouddi lookout at Maitland Bay.
“This is a medium to hard walk of around eight kilometres,” the spokesperson said.
The group will meet at 9.30am at the Maitland Bay Beach car park on Scenic Rd, near Maitland Bay Dr, Killcare Heights.
It is suggested that anyone interested in joining the group check the walk out prior to the scheduled group walk to ensure they have a level of fitness to meet the challenge.
Anyone interested in joining should contact walks co-ordinator David Foster at centralcoastweekdaywalkers@gmail.com.
