Hey everyone,

We’re running a beginner-friendly hike on the Porters Pass, Colliers Causeway and Walls Ledge Loop in Blackheath this Sunday.

It’s great if you’re new to hiking but have a moderate level of fitness (about 8.5 km). Of course, more experienced hikers are welcome too.

Along the way, we’ll pass waterfalls, some great lookouts over the valley, quiet rock overhangs, and a micro-canyon.
