Ben Cruachan Walking Club Inc
Activity Details
Introduction:
Ben Cruachan Walking Club in Gippsland has members aged from children to 80+. They are from Lakes Entrance to Trafalgar and Heyfield to Yarram. Each year there is a program of about 50 graded walks of various types mainly in Gippsland to meet the needs and capabilities of most people.
Club members are encouraged to take an active role in organising and leading walks of their choice, or just to be a participant in other people's walks. Some members have been enjoying bushwalking for many years, possess an excellent knowledge of our mountain areas and are proficient at bushcraft and navigation. Walks are lead into some of our wilderness areas -- places you would not normally consider venturing yourself. There is expertise with long distance backpacking as well as overnight hiking. Alternatively, many walkers are happy to have their walks guided by experienced leaders and "go along for the ride" Walking is a great way to enjoy a day or two in the bush. The club was instrumental in developing the McMillan Walking Track which runs 220 kilometres from Omeo to Woods Point following the original path of Angus McMillan. The full length of the track is walked every 5 years or so.

Day Walks, Weekend Backpack Walks, Extended Backpack Walks, Base Camp Walks

About the provider
As Victoria’s peak body for bushwalking, we represent all bushwalkers and bushwalking clubs in the state. Now an incorporated organisation, our roots go back to 1934 when the Federation of Victorian Walking Clubs was established. In 2006, a major restructure modernised the organisation and we adopted our current name to better reflect our key area of interest.
We work to unite members of Victoria’s diverse walking community – bushwalking club members, people from organisations with similar interests and individuals.

Thinking of hiking/bushwalking groups?
Social hiking or bushwalking groups can be organized by a variety of organizations, including local parks and recreation departments, hiking clubs, and online communities.
The benefits of joining a social hiking group are numerous. For one, it can provide a sense of community and motivation, as you have the support and encouragement of others to help you stick to your hiking routine. Hiking groups can also be a great way to meet new people and make new friends, especially if you are new to an area or looking to expand your social circle.
In terms of structure, social hiking groups can vary. Some groups may have a designated leader who plans the route and sets the pace, while others may be more informal, with participants simply showing up and hiking together. Some groups may meet on a regular basis, such as once a week, while others may be more sporadic.
