ABOUT THE COUCH TO MT TENNENT PROGRAM: 

>Couch to Mt Tennent is like Couch to 5klms, but finishing on Mt Tennent! It's a walking/hiking program
> You can join in at any time - you don't need to attend all 12 weeks - join in as much or as little as you like
> We run events when it suits volunteers - we will try and have days/times consistent for the program, but volunteers have a life outside of this community. That means our weeks aren't always consecutive. We do what we can :)
> There is a small ticket cost to encourage people to turn up, and to help cover Walk Leader's petrol and Garmin InReach costs. It shouldn't cost volunteers to help others.
> Walks are a mix of Urban walks and Remote
> We encourage everyone to try and do a bit of 'homework' and do at least two days of their own walks
> Each week, we try a walk that is a bit harder and/or a bit longer
> We finish Week 12 at the top of Mt Tennent (aka Mt Bastard) with some champagne (or more like warm Gatorade)
> The Walk Leader is Wilderness First-Aid qualified, and carries emergency communication on remote walks
> We keep our group sizes small, because it's more personable and safer
> RSVP's will be listed up, two weeks in advance

> There are two free tickets available each week for students/pensioners/those on low incomes. If additional people cannot afford a ticket, please get in touch with the organiser, and request another.
