ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:
Roger H. will organise an interesting and fun day of instruction, to allow members to be safe, feel confident and explore independently in the bush. They will act in conjunction with experienced members who will be on the event, who will share their knowledge and experience. The emphasis will be very much on practical exercises rather than theory – in short, work for the legs as well as the brain. We aim to make this a pleasant social event out in some beautiful bushland near Melbourne. More information will be provided closer to the date. All members are encouraged to attend, particularly those interested in exploring tracks and trails in National Parks and Forest Reserves. We will have afternoon tea in Healesville on the way home.

LEADER | BOOKING: Roger H. | by Thursday 8th November. Email the Leader if you have any questions. Make sure you get a personal confirmation so we know you are coming. Members can access leader contact details under the Members->Leader Contacts tab when logged in to the website.
