Sydney Trails, Tales, and Glowing Embers

We are heading out for a walk along one of Sydney’s beautiful coastal trails to take in the views and stretch our legs before finding a quiet spot to settle in. This event is all about balancing a bit of movement with the chance to actually sit down and get to know the people you are walking with. We will keep a steady but relaxed pace, making sure there is plenty of time to soak in the scenery rather than rushing to the finish line. Once we reach our destination, we will gather around a fire to share some stories and enjoy the outdoors as the sun goes down. This is perfect for anyone who enjoys hiking but often finds it hard to have a real conversation while on the move. Whether you are new to the group or a regular face, you will find a welcoming atmosphere and a low-pressure environment to connect with fellow nature lovers. If you think you can make it, please let us know by hitting the RSVP button so we can get an idea of numbers for the evening.
