Welcome to our weekend walks page. We conduct monthly weekend walks in various locations around Melbourne. In the coming months we intend to have available walks in other Capital cities such as Sydney, Perth, Brisbane and Cairns.
These walks are designed to help you walk your gear in, train, get to know other adventurers and to meet some of the No Roads team. They are open to anyone who wants to come along, you do not have to be a paying No Roads trekker.
They are also absolutely free.
The following are the dates, locations, times etc for our upcoming walks. Please take note of the RSVP date as we do need to know numbers attending.
Note: More details will be sent out once we receive an RSVP from you.
