🌊Coastal Breeze, Westgate Park & Urban Hinterland Singles Walk - 15km

🌊 The Coastal Breeze & Moody Hinterland Singles Walk St Kilda → Port Melbourne → Westgate Park → South Wharf → Fed Square Saturday 26 September 12:30 PM – ~4:00 PM Singles only (30+) Meeting point disclosed the day before 🌞 The Vibe A long, social, lightly flirty coastal wander that begins with sea breeze and sunshine, then slowly drifts into Melbourne’s moody inner‑industrial hinterland — that strange zone where the city feels half‑romantic, half‑post‑apocalyptic, and fully perfect for unexpected conversations. Expect relaxed chats, gentle humour, curious new faces, and that signature Eat Drink Dance Melbourne energy: friendly, open, and a little cheeky. Please note: This event is waitlisted I will not be releasing the meetings point until the day before. I want a balanced gender mix, i.e even numbers of girls and guys. I have a creep code operating and event expectations around no shows, read on for how all this works.. 🗺️ The Route We start somewhere along the St Kilda foreshore (exact spot revealed Friday), then follow the coastline south toward Port Melbourne. After Beacon Cove, the scenery shifts into Melbourne’s industrial underbelly — Westgate Park, the freeway hum, and the atmospheric “moody hinterland” stretch — before re‑entering civilisation via South Wharf and finishing at Transport Bar in Fed Square. St Kilda Foreshore — warm-up chats and coastal breeze Port Melbourne — snack break + optional exit at Beacon Cove (8 km mark) Westgate Park — surreal pink lake vibes if nature feels generous South Wharf — riverside architecture and the slow glide back into the city Finish at Transport Bar — drinks, chats, and the classic EDDM post‑walk mingle Distance:~ 15 km if you complete the full route ~8 km if you exit at Beacon Cove 🍫 Snack Breaks Two planned snack stops to keep the energy high and the conversations flowing: St Kilda Port Melbourne Optional drinks at Transport Bar at the end 🎒 What to Bring Comfortable walking shoes Water + snacks Weather‑appropriate clothing A light jacket for the coastal breeze Your best friendly, open, lightly flirty energy 👯Meeting point policy Due to previous incidents of unregistered people bypassing waitlists and showing up unannounced, the exact meeting point will ONLY be sent to confirmed attendees. You’ll receive a message from the organiser the day before with the precise location. If you don’t receive it, you’re not on the going list — simple as that. ⚠️Group Rules & Event Etiquette ⚠️ These are basic, commonsense standards that keep events safe, smooth, and enjoyable for everyone. 💘Flirtation Guidelines This is a social event, not a pressure cooker.Don’t be pushy about phone numbers — let the moment offer itself Don't send unsolicited messages, get in person permission first If the vibe is mutual, go for it Become a regular — I’ll be testing this format over 3–4 events You’ll likely see the same lovely humans again at future singles nights/events or Eat Drink Dance “open” events The goal is to build a small, recurring ecosystem where people feel comfortable, familiar, and relaxed enough to be themselves. 👟Fitness Requirements Walking: 3–4 km/hr. Moderate fitness. enough to walk 15 km with limited stops We walk at a relaxed pace. Please ensure you meet the fitness level for the event. If the group is forced to wait excessively, you may be asked to leave the event. ⛹️ Pace: Too Fast or Too Slow Small social events rely on staying together. If you prefer a very different pace, consider going solo, joining a faster/slower group, or choosing events that match your fitness. 👩‍💼Time Constraints If you’re on a tight schedule, this may not be the right event. Social activities rarely run exactly on time. 👥Waitlist & Gender Ratios To keep things balanced and comfortable: Event capped at 12 people to test interest, if my star signs are in favour I may increase this to 20 Generally guys admitted only after a woman registers (to maintain ratios) at my discretion. Group regulars get priority access. Women can be a little flaky (we love them anyway), so I may accept 1–2 extra. 🧭The Creep Code A refined social compass keeps the vibe safe, fun, and drama‑free So: No married/Seperated individuals or those already coupled up (generally) unless I know you. No Tinder Swindler‑style mingler Guys: Please Take Special Not Must have a clear face photo (no sunglasses, no blurry shadows, no “mysterious man in witness protection” Don't send unsolicited messages, that's creep gold. ⚠️Don't obscure your identity in other words No wide shots taken from a distance where you can't be identified No yacht/car/jet flexing — if your profile screams “crypto‑adjacent”, you will be gently declined If you are declined, update your profile photo to something less creepy and more class Girls: No restrictions — privacy and safety first ⚠️CRITICAL EXPECTATIONS⚠️ 😢No‑Shows No‑shows block waitlisted people from attending and disrupt small-group events Remove yourself more than 24 hours before the event, cancellations within 24 hour of the evevt when there is a waitlist will result in group removal and likely blocking People on the waitlist require more than 24 hours notice that they have been approved to attend.. Flaking within this time period prevents waitlist people from attending No‑shows will be removed from the group Last‑minute cancellations (“flaking”) may also result in group removal, especially when there is a waitlist 👀 Attending Without Being on the Going Lis This is a security issue Do NOT turn up unannounced If you’re not on the Going list and haven’t arranged it with the organiser beforehand, you will be asked to leave. Event check‑ins are performed ⏰ Late Arrival If you’re late, the group will not wait You willl be marked as a No‑Show and removed from the group Messages will not be monitored after the event start It’s your responsibility to communicate and catch up before the evevt starts—this may not be possible for some events as the organiser is busy organising 🎲Second Chances If something goes wrong, communicate with the organiser.
