THIS IS RATED A MODERATE TO HARD WALK
Please arrive 8.15am for 8.30am bus departure start. A map with meet spot and parking options will be sent to all walkers by email at least 48 hours before the event.
Liv will be your walk leader and will be here to meet you.
Our leaders carry group first aid kits, emergency communication devices and are experienced bushwalking leaders.
We will walk the Heysen Trail Montacute to Cudlee Creek (or vice versa) approx 19km taking approx 6-7 hours.
You need a good level of fitness (this is not a beginners walk!) and are keen to walk with a likeminded group of people (note we may have a mixed group and women’s only team walking in opposite directions – max 20 walkers). We regroup regularly for positive team vibes and have all the logistics looked after including one way transport between finish and start line – we also throw in a bit of home baked goods for the journey.
With the goal of walking for positive physical and mental wellbeing we choose to support MOSH Australia by collecting donations on their behalf during the walking season. MOSH aims to reduce the harm of suicide in our community. You can find out more about the programs MOSH offer here. Thank you in advance for choosing to donate when you book!
We have a compulsory gear list for our Heysen walks – please ensure you have these items before you book as no refunds are possible. Note weather conditions vary throughout the season and are location dependent too.

Help us to support our partner charity MOSH by making a donation either at time of booking or on the day thank you 🙂 For more information on MOSH head to www.moshaustralia.org.au
Our walks are all about fun, fitness and friendship – not a personal training session. If we can’t walk and talk at the same time we are walking too fast! And we never leave anyone behind.
If the weather forecast is for extreme weather or a fire ban is issue for the Adelaide Hills, this walk will be cancelled the day before and fully refunded.
