A group of enthusiastic walkers recently turned to Fingal Bay to enjoy some fresh air, catching up in person and the natural beauty of their surroundings.

"Two teams of walkers set off through territory long forgotten but now gladly remembered, and the conversation covered the breakout of every virus in the last hundred years, and how lucky we are to have the administration and great healthcare facilities in place right now," said club member David Heath.

"After the stimulation of walking and energetic conversation, coffee was most welcome from the overworked take away window at the Longboat coffee outlet.

"Having renewed the walking friendships this very sociable crowd retired home to rest and gather energy for hopefully the opening of more Probus activities."
