Welcome To Didier Walks - Lets Go Hiking

Welcome To Didier Walks

Let's Go Hiking

Hiking can transform you physically, mentally and your soul if you allow it. Physically by burning calories, making you stronger and in doing so creating new muscle memory that lasts.  It's been scientifically proven that hiking has a huge positive impact on our mental health. The greatest gift hiking gives you is the capacity to be present. Being present gives you the opportunity to start again, break old habits and furthermore replace them with new healthy behaviour. The hiking/mental health relationship is something Didier is very passionate about.   Your soul becomes one with everything around you. The action of hiking in the...

Didier Walks - Cape To Cape

Passion – Awareness – Respect – Authenticity

My genuine passion I’ve told sets me apart. Three decades of professional experience working closely with people of all ages. Not just doing my job well, but I had to be passionate about it. I don’t need to tell people that I am passionate about guiding and consulting others to discover the extraordinary benefits of hiking, it oozes from every part of my being.

Over 15 years assessment and mentoring experience within the disability, mental health, youth, training and recreation sectors. My drive to know more about the mental benefits of hiking, after my 2016 solo end-to-end of the 1000km Bibbulmun Track. Our world class long distance hiking trail has become my backyard and where my soul is. I have gained an awareness and presence that I now share with others.

I bring authenticity into everything I do and encourage others to discover theirs. It is this that assists others to step outside their comfort zone to create a new level of self awareness and greatness. A respect for the individual, even during a group hike your own journey is encouraged to blossom.

As the majority of people that join me have little or no hiking experience, preparation is crucial. I offer upto two Zoom meetings prior to a hike to assist you to be ready so you are safe and more enjoy the experience.

It is my skill and experience in assessment that gives me the confidence to follow my instincts in how best to guide you and/or the group. Every person and group learns differently at their own pace, so hiking programs are fluid enough to adapt so you gain more from the journey.

I have a strong belief in doing things right, for you, our business partners, government regulators, our community and myself.

I have been, I am still and always will be on a journey to my perfect self, come join me.

Fantastic guide with a good knowledge of the track and caters for all fitness levels. It is obvious Didier loves what... he does and that rubs off on the group. A good mix of conversation and time for quiet reflection. Didier would be great for more serious hike/track training or just a casual day walk when your schedule allows. Loved my day walk with Didier and will be back. My teenage daughter who did a three day/ 2 night hike with Didier for her Duke of Ed Bronze Award also loved it and gained a lot from her time on the Track.read more
