- WMA - Introductory Walk (East Perth - 7kms)The Partisan, Perth
Introduction to WMA
We'll continue hosting a series of introductory walks aimed at WMA members who are returning to walking, building up distance/fitness, on a recovery plan following injury and/or want to walk and learn more about the WMA team and hosts. It's probably an ideal opportunity to see if the group is for you before launching into our 10k+ City Park walks and/or Bush walks as we near the Perth hiking season.
Walks will start from the Partisan Cafe in Claisebrook Cove, East Perth. We'll take in the Cove, Matagarup Bridge, the outside of Optus Stadium, Windan Bridge, Heiresson Island/Causeway before returning to the Partisan for an optional coffee and catch-up.
Meet: Partisan Cafe, Claisbrook Cove, EAST PERTH (Click on map for the exact meeting point)
Parking: There is plenty of free parking on Wittenoom St and paid parking on Royal Street
Distance: 7 km. However, there is the ability to do a shorter walk.
Difficulty: Flat terrain & mainly bitumen paths. Expect an easy walk but at a reasonable pace (5km/h) We should complete the walk in under 80 mins.
What to bring: Water, yourself and a good sense of humour
Toilets: At the Partisan or Toast cafe afterwards.
