This is an example of an upcoming event

About the hike
Provide a summary of the hike. This could include information about why you’ve chosen to do this hike and what people should expect to see. Also indicate how far the hike is (kms) how challenging you expect the hike to be (grade), and how long you expect it to take (time).

If you are using a hike on this website, you can also provide a link to it for more info. For example:

• For more info on this hike, visit Razorback and Ah Kow Spurs (13.5km)

If you are using using AllTrails, please do not link to information on that website or I will be inclined to delete it.

What to bring
Provide information on what people should bring. This could include practical footwear, adequate clothing (including outer layers in case the weather turns bad), plenty of food and water,

Attendee limits
Land managers recommend setting a maximum limit of 16 attendees. This will have less impact on the environment than a large group, will not disturb other visitors as much and will make it a lot easier for you to manage the group. If it is a challenging hike, you may choose to set the limit at a lower number. As the more people attend, the slower you are likely to walk. Ask that people respect this and if there are already the maximum number attending, that they indicate they are ‘interested’ instead of ‘going’.

Cost
