How to Join a Hike

Refer to the hiking program on the website to see the list of day hikes offered. Outings usually depart early on a Tuesday morning – generally from the parking area opposite Woolies between New and Caledon Streets. Please note that the program is provisional and changes may be made at short notice, particularly in view of forecast weather conditions.

Every hike will be confirmed beforehand by email, which will provide details of the hike as well as the contact number of the leader. You do NOT have to notify the leader that you intend joining a hike.

To receive emails regarding hikes you need to join our mailing list, by calling or emailing one of the contacts on the Home page.

Non-members may also join this list. It is a free service.

Visitors are welcome to join our hikes.  All hikers, members and non-members alike, are required to comply with the U3A Hiker’s Code of Conduct.

Please note that new members are required to participate in a grade 2 hike before attempting a more challenging hike. The leader may at his/her discretion decide not to permit a visitor or member to join a difficult outing. See our hike grading system.

NOTE: All hikers are required to comply with the U3A Helderberg Hikers' Code of Conduct Rules. Please read these for your own safety and that of your hiking group.
