Our May hike is LIVE 🔥

📍 White Rock Ridge Track
📅 Sunday, 17th May

⏰ Arrive & park by: 7:30am
🥾 Set off: 7:45am sharp

We’ll do a quick briefing before we head off, so please make sure you’re ready to go by 7:45 — we’ll be leaving on time

• Time: ~2-3 hours (plus breaks)
• Elevation: ~163 m
• Expect a solid climb towards the end 😮‍💨 but the views are WELL worth it

We’ll take a few breaks along the way and stop for a snack (likely at the Rock) — so come prepared!

We also recommend downloading the app to stay connected with the track.

🎒 What to bring:
• Plenty of water (minimum 2–3L)
• Electrolytes
• Snacks (think trail mix, protein, choc)
• Hat + sunscreen
• Weather-appropriate gear (rain jacket if needed)
• Good footwear (trail can be uneven)
• Optional: hiking pole if you’d like support on climbs/descents

🌦️ Weather:
We’ll go ahead rain or shine, just come prepared with the right gear for the conditions

I used to think I needed to be super fit to go hiking…
and then I just got started.

No fancy gear.
No peak fitness level.
No clue, if I’m honest 😅

Just one small step… and then another.

Somewhere along the way I realised—
you don’t get fit before you hike…
you get fit because you hike.

Those “I’ll start when…” thoughts?
They’ll keep you sitting on the sidelines forever.

So here’s your gentle nudge, mermaid 🧜‍♀️
Borrow the shoes.
Wear the leggings.
Puff a little. Laugh a lot.
Take the slow track if you need to.

Because the magic isn’t at the end of the trail—
it’s in showing up for yourself.

And trust me…
there’s a whole group of women just like you,
waiting to walk beside you 💛

35 women.
Some single, some married, some divorced,some craving more.

Most came alone but they did not leave that way.

this is what happens when women over 40 stop waiting and start saying yes.

If you’ve been watching quietly…
This is your sign.

Hiked the stunning Enoggera Dam trail today and it did not disappoint—lush greenery, peaceful water views, and the best company. There’s something magic about hitting the trail with women who get it. If you’re a fellow 40+ adventurer, come join us on the next one!
