Most
club activities are day walks of 12 to 18 kilometres led by volunteer leaders
in the hills area within 100 kilometres of Perth.
Most of these walks have a component of SAA class five
or six where the route is across unmarked trails or in some cases substantially
unmodified terrain. Most walking is in the bush. However there are bushwalking
activities in the wild and remote bush, along coastlines and around mountains
in National Parks and other areas ranging from Kakadu, to Karijini, to Peak
Charles, to the Fitzgerald River, to Albany, to Cape Leeuwin and many points
between.
The
longer distance activities involve camping out overnight, and accommodation
ranges from camping beside the car, to the relative luxury of a Bibbulmun
Track hut, to a hiking tent, or in the open in a bivvy bag. Sometimes, where
available, walkers even stay in hotels or guest houses.
During the summer months, as the bush dries out, activities
concentrate on opportunities for swimming, and the programme includes cycling
and canoeing.
