Each month, on the weekend closest to the Full Moon, we gather at Lunar Lakes after sunset, before heading out under the cover of darkness for a night walk in the Hills.

The evening begins with a relaxed check-in - hot drinks some snacks and time to get ready. Once everyone has gathered and packed their bags, we head out for a relaxed, 3 to 4-hour night walk. The land surrounding Lunar Lakes is a registered Dark Skies zone, so on clear nights we take multiples stops to take in the stars and a enjoy some snacks.

The route changes each month and we always visit a point of interest in the local environment. We silently return to Lunar Lakes after midnight and participants quietly head home.

Darkwalk provides a regular opportunity to enjoy the rare sensory experience of walking in the dark as a group, letting your senses adjust, as the sky and landscape reveals itself in a different light. Glowsticks included.
