  Walks and walking groups

For all walks...

It's a good idea to bring a drink, wear warm clothes in cooler weather and light casual clothes in summer.

A sensible pair of well-cushioned shoes will make your walking experience much more enjoyable too!

Walks are only cancelled in heavy or persistent rain. Listen to Newstalk ZB for details.
