I love to go on hikes with my kids and wife. Most of the meetups and tramping clubs are doing long walks. Any hiking fans out here wanting to join on shorter walks? (self.wellington)

We're member of the Hutt Valley tramping club, but they mostly do 6+ hour walks. Also the average age is quite high. I've done long walks, but most of the weekends I'm looking to do shorter ones, up to 4 hours. There is a Wellington Tramping Club on Meetup.com but they also do longer walks.

Perhaps I can set up a separate meetup for people looking to join me on shorter walks?

I've got 2 kids (10 and 7), so feel free to join if you have kids, but it's absolutely no requirement. I'm based in Lower Hutt.

Unfortunately I love the longer hikes (my faves are 4-6 hours) but I love the idea!

Normally I go walkies by myself.

Are you member of a tramping club? Eg HVTC is pretty good. I've discussed with the trip organiser and we're going to add more family friendly trips.

I'm not yet, I really should join one!!
