Welcome to the club. We invite enthusiastic walkers to come along and enjoy the wonderful Blue Mountains with us. With this in view, the following points are made to assist new members enjoy their walks with the club. We recommend that the first walk should be Grade E (easy) or Grade E-M (easy/medium). This is in your interest and also to be fair to other participants who may be inconvenienced or disappointed if a walk cannot be completed.
The Leader of the activity should be contacted several days beforehand, do not leave it to the last minute. The leader will advise you of the meeting time and place and of any special requirements for the trip. The leader may ask you about your walks/activities experience and if the leader feels it would be inappropriate for you to take part in the walk then the decision is final.
Standard equipment for any bushwalk would include:-
Sensible, closed footwear
Hat, jumper, water bottle, food, sunscreen
First aid supplies, backpack, wet weather gear
Two litres of water, sometimes more on hot days.
If you have any health problems that may affect your ability to do the walk you must tell the leader before the walk begins. If
you are under 18 an adult member must accompany you.
On the day of the walk please arrive at the meeting place on time. If you are a few minutes late and no one knows where you are, do not expect to be waited for.
When transport is arranged by private car it is normal for passengers to share the costs with the driver. Please make sure that you do contribute.
While on the walk please remain with the party and ensure that the leader knows of your whereabouts at all times. Do not hesitate to ask for assistance if you need it and offer assistance if it appears to be needed. Bushwalkers help each other.
Please remember to follow the Minimal Impact Code of Bushwalking and take out what you take in.
