Resumption of Activities

 

In line with the COVID-19 Restrictions announced by the Victorian Government, the Ben Cruachan Walking Club has restarted a program of walks. The number of participants on each walk will be limited to the maximum currently permitted, with social distancing to be observed. Ideally participants will not car-share when joining walks.

We look forward to when we can return to enjoying normal bushwalking and outdoor activities, with no restrictions.
