Wednesday morning saw our first walking group head off in beautiful weather conditions.

With a meeting point of the Debbie Mierisch bench next to the new Year 1/2 playground, a group of 5 walkers greeted each other and commenced at 9.10am.

Out in the Drop Zone area of Serpells Road we picked up another to our group and made our way down the hill and around the outskirts of the bottom oval.

Back up the hill and passing the front of the school, whilst some of us were catching our breath we collected another walker.

Making our way along the designated trail, the group started to mingle more and get to know each other better. The pace varied at times as some more experienced in the group knew what roads required more effort than others. Along the way a few made their exit at spots that suited them and the remaining carried on.

Some beautiful scenery and perfect weather conditions made for an enjoyable morning. 7.40km and a little under 11,000 steps achieved in 1.5hours.

Everyone, especially first timers should feel a great sense of accomplishment.

The plan moving forward is to walk weekly and hopefully build more and more to the group. Again, everyone is welcome and travelling at your own pace and distance is encouraged. You don’t have to commit every week; it’s come when you can.

Updates will be available via Milgate Movers WhatsApp chat. We look forward to meeting you along the trail sometime soon.
