Outtrekkers

OutTrekkers is a mixed-age group of gay and lesbian people and their friends who go bush walking every 2 weeks or so, and camping occasionally.

Nearly all of our walks are on tracks. Generally, they are suitable for anyone of good average fitness and endurance. We vary the speed to suit the walk, but you should have a reasonable standard of fitness appropriate to the particular walk, so read the descriptions in the program. Some walks may be more demanding than others, if you are unsure about how fit you need to be, please contact the leader of the walk to discuss it.

What to bring
---------- --------
On trips generally, you need to take: fully enclosed boots, rain cover, warm top, hat, sunscreen, leech and insect repellent, and bags for rubbish.

For day trips, you need to take also: a daypack, at least 2 litres of water, lunch and snacks.

For camping, you need to take also: a tent, sleeping bag, sleeping mat, pillow, water bottles, cutlery, cup and bowl, sharp knife, matches and lighter, toilet paper and trowel, torch, toiletries, food and fold-up chair.

Going on walks
---------- --------
Please let the leader know beforehand :
· if you intend coming on a walk,
· whether you have transport, and if so,
· how many others you could take.

This will allow the leader to plan and will also let you know whether the trip is proceeding as advertised, or whether any details have been changed.

We often carpool, the usual meeting place is near the city in the bus stop 164 outside 169 Leichhardt Street, Spring Hill, opposite (but on the Fortitude Valley side of) the Sportsman's Hotel. (Bus Stop 164 is outside San Domenica Apartments at 169 Leichhardt Street, and is opposite Oxygen Apartments. ) However you must check the particular trip description, and contact the leader as well, to be sure of the meeting arrangements.

Transport costs
---------- ---------
Please help the driver with petrol costs -- it's only fair to make a reasonable contribution to a driver, especially if the trip is long.
