Trail Walker
Walk Grade: End-to-End
These walks are for those wishing to complete the entire Heysen Trail. There are approximately sixty day walks involved, spread over six years. The southern walks, from Cape Jervis to Kapunda, are held on one Sunday per month during the walk season. Due to the greater travelling distances involved, from Kapunda northwards, the walk is held over a weekend. The group walks on the Saturday, stays overnight in a local town (in B&B accommodation, motels, caravan parks etc), often sharing a meal, and then walking again on Sunday.
These arrangements make it easy to walk the entire trail because the Friends of Heysen Trail work out many of the logistics. However, you arrange your own accommodation.
These walks are reasonably demanding and for walkers who have walked regularly in various terrain. They have a walking time of about 5 to 6 hours and will require a high degree of physical fitness.
Walk Grade: Summer Twilight Walk
These walks are only for when it is not walk season. These walks are 1.5 to 2 hours almost every Wednesday evening, close to Adelaide. Meeting at 6pm, followed by a meal if you wish.
These walks are for experienced walkers, for those who are not regular walkers and those who have not walked in a group previously or who want a shorter walk. Anyone undertaking these walks may have only a modest degree of physical fitness.
Walk Grade: Trail Rambler
These infrequent walks are for specialist events like bird watching and historical walks; and would by their nature be relatively short and informative. These walks are available to all levels of walkers.
Walk Grade: Trail Starter

TrailStarter walks are usually close to Adelaide, have a walk time of about 3 to 4 hours and will generally be not too physically demanding. Anyone undertaking these walks may have only a modest degree of physical fitness. These walks generally occur on Saturdays or Sundays.
