A refreshing hike on the peninsula
07 May 2025
Dunedin South Probus Club members embarked on a refreshing hike on the Otago peninsula on a beautiful autumn morning.
The unique hill-free hike began with a gentle walk across paddocks before reaching a picturesque beach. The beach was bustling with about 20 sea lions lounging on the sand, accompanied by a variety of seabird life.
The concept of hill-free hiking is designed to accommodate people with medical conditions that prevent them from walking on hilly terrain. For those who can no longer manage hills, it offers an opportunity to regain fitness without the fear of running out of breath on uphill slopes.
Walking along the beach provided an excellent setting for exchanging ideas and chatting about everything.
Everyone had a fantastic time and is looking forward to next month's hike.
