To ensure our walking experiences are enjoyable and inclusive, we have established eight simple guidelines. Consider these your trail markers for a friendly walking community:

a) Not a Dating Group: While the ambiance is lovely, our focus is on enjoying the outdoors! If you're looking for romance, this isn't the place.
b) No Phone Numbers: We prefer to keep things private. Share your digits only if you're comfortable. Social media connections are welcome if both parties agree.
c) 18 and Over: Sorry, this event is exclusively for adults.
d) No WhatsApp Group Invites: Let's keep group chats minimal. We love conversation, but let's save it for our walk.
e) No Advertisements: Our events are free from commercial pitches. We’re here to enjoy the walk, not to sell or buy.
f) No Carpooling: For safety and liability reasons, we won't be organizing ridesharing.
g) No Selling Allowed: No need to promote your products or services. We’re here to hike, not to shop.
h) Be Friendly: A kind smile goes a long way. Be welcoming and ready to forge new friendships. We’re all in this together!

So, grab your walking shoes, embrace the guidelines, and let’s create unforgettable memories together! We’re excited to welcome you to Melbourne Walks!
