📌 How It Works:
Prior to purchasing your ticket, you will be asked to answer some questions; you will be assessed on whether you are capable enough to join.
As there are no perfect answers, feel free to provide further description.
We will be in contact with you if you make the cut.
This event is meant for our fittest and most adventurous Social Hikers and has limited spots.
There may be camping and car park charges as we will be camping in the ranges on the 31st of October. If you wish to join for one day instead of two, mention it in the form.

We will add you to an Instagram group chat, and all final details will be shared there: Hike route, meet-up location and any last-minute updates.
👉Please ensure you follow us on Instagram @SocialHikesAU before booking, as Instagram does not allow us to add non-followers to group chats.
Please note: Start / Assembly location on Eventbrite may not be accurate (due to their software mapping limitation) - exact location to be shared on IG group chat. If you do not have Instagram or WhatsApp, it's your responsibility to reach out to us via the contact number below.

🚭 NO Smoking & Vaping Policy
To keep the experience enjoyable for everyone, smoking and vaping are not permitted during the hike or while walking with the group. We want everyone to enjoy the fresh air and nature without smoke or vapour, and to reduce fire risk, especially during summer.
Hikers who ignore this policy may be asked to leave the event and may not be permitted to attend future hikes.
-------------------------------------------------------
🌧 Rain Policy
If the forecast shows over 15 mm in 6 hours or 20+ mm during the day, we may postpone or adjust the hike to keep things safe and enjoyable. Slippery trails, flooding, and poor visibility are no fun or safe.
We’ll also reschedule for thunderstorms or if trails are still soaked from heavy rain the days before.
Light rain (under 5 mm/hour) is usually fine. We’ll check each hike case-by-case. Safety first 🌿
If it changes and gets heavier, we’ll reschedule for the following event instead.
