River Walk - Botanic Gardens + South Bank

**New date for October - October 25th** **No longer occurring on the 11th** **Event details:** After having some success with this event in winter, now booking in some summer walks ... with the heat of Brisbane summer, will be holding these walks in the evening starting at 5:30, finishing up somewhere we can have a cool drink / food afterward if people feel like it. Noting that this is not a full on exercise group, vibe is more relaxed pace and a chat (not a sprint). So for that reason its beginner friendly. **Start Time:** 5:30pm **Meeting point:** City Botanic Gardens – Albert Street entrance **Duration:** \~60–90 mins, relaxed social pace **Additional info:** wear comfortable clothes and shoes for walking, and bring money if you'd like to purchase food/drink afterward. **Route:** **1\. Botanic Gardens stroll \(15–20 mins\)** Slow riverside and shaded garden paths. **2\. Goodwill Bridge crossing** Easy transition into South Bank. **3\. South Bank river walk \(15–20 mins\)** Flat riverside with optional detours through parklands or shaded internal paths. **4\. Back over the Neville Bonner Bridge** Easy transition into South Bank. **5.** **Walk back toward the Botanic Gardens** **or toward a nearby bar/cafe (20–25 mins)** for after walk refreshments And that's it really, hopefully see you there! **Personal disclaimer:** I've run a number of meetups in the past (in Sydney) and attended many more (all over the world), and I have learned it best not to give anyone my phone number straight away. If you need help or are lost on the day, please use the comments section or send me a message using the meetup app. Also, I expect a level of common sense and independence of those attending these events. While I definitely want to be welcoming and help foster conversation, I won't be baby sitting anyone. At the end of the day, you need to be responsible for yourself - it's just a common courtesy so that everyone can have a good time. Thanks!
