What we’re about
Hiking Group (Newcastle/Lake Macquarie) is a social group for people currently living in the Newcastle/Lake Macquarie area who enjoy hiking, bushwalking and casual walks (those out of area are welcome to join). The aim of this group is to explore the outdoors, have fun and meet like-minded people!
As the majority of people in this group are professionals, the events in this group are held on weekends. Please take note of the below membership conditions before requesting to join this MeetUp group
Membership Conditions:
• We undertake membership reviews. This involves reviewing whether you have RSVP'd to events and when you last visited the MeetUp website. If you have been removed from the group due to inactivity and you would like to re-join, it is your responsibility to re-request to join the group, not the Administrators.

• Your conduct during hikes will be reviewed for continued suitability as there is a no-tolerance policy with regards to inappropriate/negative behaviour.
