Join the Friends on their extended walk in 2018 -the iconic 250 km Great North Walk from Sydney to Newcastle.

We have recently made changes to our walk booking arrangements. The major change made was to discontinue the sale of Multiwalk passes. When registering for walk, walkers now have the choice of using the casual walk fee option of $8 per walk or a Golden Boots pass (unlimited walks over 12 months at a cost of $60). Golden Boots will now be accepted for our Wednesday Twilight walks.
Daylight saving is here and with the approach of warmer weather, our Wednesday evening twilight walks are about to start.

A special event is in the planning for April 2016 to celebrate the crossing of the two long-distance trails.
