Group is open to everyone, regardless of their fitness level. Some people may prefer to walk at a faster pace, while others may prefer a slower, more leisurely stroll. We encourage walkers to find a pace that is comfortable for them and enjoy the experience at their own speed.
3. On average, about fifteen people attend our walks. It's a great opportunity to meet new people and make friends within the LGBTIQ community.

6. For the first Sunday of the month walks, participants meet at CIBO café, located at 199 Hutt Street, Adelaide. We gather at 9:30 am for a 10:00 am departure. Participants usually enjoy a cup of coffee before starting the walk and sometimes arrange carpooling to the walk location.
For Saturday walks, participants meet directly at the location, which can be found on our programme page.

8. Our walks are graded based on difficulty levels. An “easy” walk is suitable for all fitness levels and has minimal challenges. A “medium” walk requires a moderate level of fitness and may involve some uphill sections or uneven terrain.
A “hard” walk is more physically demanding and may include steep climbs or long distances. It's important to choose a walk that matches your fitness level and abilities.
