Fun, Friendship and Fitness in Nature
Joining a bushwalking club is a great way to meet new people, improve your fitness and have fun in the outdoors. There are 60 Bushwalking Victoria Affiliate clubs spread across Victoria and most clubs welcome new members and visitors.
There are clubs of all sizes with many offering walks across Victoria, interstate and even overseas. Most clubs welcome people new to bushwalking and you are certain to find experienced members willing to pass on their knowledge to beginners. Some of our clubs conduct training specifically for people new to bushwalking. Club membership is low cost, with most annual membership fees ranging from $35-$60.
Most clubs welcoming visitors along for a trial. Contact the club to discuss your bushwalking experience and find out about the types of activities on their program.  Many clubs also offer other outdoor activities in addition to bushwalking, such as kayaking and cycling, and other social activities.

Details
The Croydon Walking Club is a small (about 60 members) and friendly community-based walking group in the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Walks are held on Fridays starting at either 8:30 am or 9:30 am, and occasionally at 8.00am. While we are less regimented than some of the larger walking clubs we are still able to offer a wide choice of walks from shorter suburban walks of up to 8 kilometres to much longer walks in the hills and bush (up to 20km), within a convenient drive from our base at Croydon Hills. We are safety conscious and have both GPS and Satellite Phone support for the more remote walks and arrange carpooling from the meeting point to help members get to the start of each walk. Visitors are very welcome to join us on up to three walks (initially on a shorter walk) and are then expected to become a member of the group. If planning to join a Day/Adventure walk, you must do a Ramble walk first to ensure your fitness level is appropriate.
