FITNESS HIKER - Event Leader - Michael

Description of a "Fitness Hiker": A fitness hiker enjoys walking with purpose, maintaining a moderate to brisk pace throughout the hike. These hikes, ranging from 10-20 kilometres, are focused on building endurance and challenging the body, often leaving you a little sweaty by the end. Your heart rate will increase!!!

Expect a mix of terrain, including sand, inclines, and steps, designed to keep your heart rate up and maximise calorie burning.

While the pace is faster and breaks are fewer, there’s still time to pause, catch your breath, take in the surroundings, and capture the moment with a photo or two. Fitness hikers value the balance between intensity and enjoyment, pushing their limits while connecting with others who share the same goals of staying fit and active in the outdoors. These hikes are perfect for those who want to elevate their fitness and enjoy the challenge of more demanding trails.

Get ready for an incredible adventure! This hike is perfect for boosting your fitness levels. The combination of trail and sand walking will strengthen your heart and give your legs a fantastic workout.

Portsea Beach is simply stunning! Feel the waves kiss your shoes and let the crashing sounds of the ocean rejuvenate your spirit. It's truly a regular favourite!

We'll also make a special stop at the iconic London Bridge rock formation for some amazing photos and a refreshing recharge. Don't miss out on this exhilarating experience!

We will stop for photos!!!
