♥️🌿🦜Singles Walk - Merri‑Ck Flirt Trail, Smith Street Social - 11km+🦜

**🌿💘 Eat Drink Dance Melbourne: The Merri‑Creek Flirt‑Trail & Smith Street Twilight Social** **11km + 3 km optional extension to a Collingwood pub** Saturday 8 August 12:00 PM meet • 12:15 PM sharp departure (no waiting for stragglers) **Ages: 30–55 | Singles only | No married or seperated people | New** couples maybe… if they’re very new **People**: Max 20 **Furry 4 legged Friends**: Welcome **💘 The Vibe** A winter‑weekend wander for singles who enjoy slow‑burn flirtation, lush scenery, and cheeky social energy. This is a creek‑side adventure, a CERES café treat‑stop, an optional Convent exit, and a Smith Street finale that dissolves into dinner, drinks, and warm inner‑city pub glow. ***Please note: This event is waitlisted.*** ***I want a balanced gender mix, i.e even numbers of girls and guys. I have a creep code operating and event expectations around no shows, read on for how that works***. 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ **The Route (A Flirt‑Trail in Two Acts)** **Act I — The Merri Creek Slow‑Burn (≈ 11 km**) We begin at Merlynston Station, gather, mingle, and roll out at 12:15 PM sharp — no late arrivals, no dramatic platform sprints. Then we slip onto the Merri Creek Trail, following its curves, wetlands, and winter greenery. Expect weekend wildlife making cameo appearances: - Wattlebirds doing their loud, chaotic commentary - Rainbow lorikeets gossiping overhead - Dusky moorhens strutting like they own the wetlands - Crested pigeons pretending to be shy - The occasional friendly dog who thinks you’re flirting with them - That soft Melbourne winter light that makes everyone look 10% more intriguing We pause at CERES Café for warm hands, warm food, and warmer conversations — the midpoint where people relax, open up, and start deciding who they want to walk beside for the second half. **Optional exit:** At the Abbotsford Convent (11 km), anyone ready to wrap up can peel off gracefully-- **Act II — The Capital City Trail Finale (≈ 2.5 km)** For the adventurous (and the romantically optimistic), we continue along the Capital City Trail, weaving through inner‑Melbourne streets until we reach Smith Street, Collingwood. Here, we settle into a warm, luxurious inner‑city pub — the kind with soft lighting, good acoustics, and the perfect ambience for: - Post‑walk debriefs - Playful banter - Dinner - Drinks - And the gentle thrill of a Saturday night among new friends 🧣 **What to Bring** - Comfortable walking shoes - Snacks + water - Winter layers - A playful, open attitude - Curiosity for strangers who might not stay strangers **⚠️ Group Rules & Event Etiquette** ⚠️ These are basic, commonsense standards that keep events safe, smooth, and enjoyable for everyone. 💘 **Flirtation Guidelines** This is a social event, not a pressure cooker.Don’t be pushy about phone numbers — let the moment offer itself Don't send unsolicited messages, get in person permission first If the vibe is mutual, go for it Become a regular — I’ll be testing this format over 3–4 events You’ll likely see the same lovely humans again at future singles nights/events or Eat Drink Dance “open” events The goal is to build a small, recurring ecosystem where people feel comfortable, familiar, and relaxed enough to be themselves. 👟 **Fitness** **Requirements** Walking: 3–4 km/hr. Moderate fitness. enough to walk 15 km with limited stops We walk at a relaxed pace. Please ensure you meet the fitness level for the event. If the group is forced to wait excessively, you may be asked to leave the event. ⛹️ P**ace: Too Fast or Too Slow** Small social events rely on staying together. If you prefer a very different pace, consider going solo, joining a faster/slower group, or choosing events that match your fitness. **👩‍💼 Time Constraints** If you’re on a tight schedule, this may not be the right event. Social activities rarely run exactly on time. **👥Waitlist & Gender Ratios** To keep things balanced and comfortable: Event capped at 12 people to test interest, if my star signs are in favour I may increase this to 20 Generally guys admitted only after a woman registers (to maintain ratios) at my discretion. Female Privilege: New Idea There is usually a waitlist of men. The first female that discretely messages the organiser gets first dibs on any guy that is on the waitlist to have him included. Assuming this occurs within 12 hours of being put into the going list. Otherwise the organiser chooses. Women can be a little flaky (we love them anyway), so I may accept 1–2 extra **🧭The Creep Code** A refined social compass keeps the vibe safe, fun, and drama‑free. So: No married/Seperated individuals or those already coupled up (generally) No Tinder Swindler‑style minglers **Guys**: Please Take Special Note Must have a clear face photo (no sunglasses, no blurry shadows, no “mysterious man in witness protection”) Don't send unsolicited messages, that's creep gold ⚠️Don't obscure your identity in other words. No wide shots taken from a distance where you can't be identified. No yacht/car/jet flexing — if your profile screams “crypto‑adjacent”, you will be gently declined. If you are declined, update your profile photo to something less creepy and more classy **Girls**: No restrictions — privacy and safety first” **⚠️ CRITICAL EXPECTATIONS** ⚠️ **👻 No‑Shows** No‑shows block waitlisted people from attending and disrupt small-group events. ******Remove yourself at least 24 hours before the event to give waitlist people a enough notice to attend**. - No‑shows will be removed from the group. - Cancellations (“flaking”) within 24 hours of the evevt start will result in group removal, especially when there is a waitlist. and no communication 👀** Attending Without Being on the Going List** - This is a security issue. - Do NOT turn up unannounced. - If you’re not on the Going list and haven’t arranged it with the organiser beforehand, you will be asked to leave. Event check‑ins are performed. **⏰ Late Arrivals** If you’re late, the group will not wait. You will be marked as a No‑Show and removed from the group Messages are not monitored after the event starts. *It’s your responsibility to communicate and catch up—before the street of the event, this may not be possible for some events. 🎲**Second Chances** If something goes wrong, communicate with the organiser.

**🌿✨ Eat Drink Dance Melbourne:** **The Merri‑Creek Mischief Walk & Northcote High‑Street Frolic via the Ceres Community Farm and Cafe** Abbotsford Convent → CERES → Northcote → Rushall Station Saturday Afternoon • ~12 km of flirtation, exploration & playful chaos Meet at 1.30pm at the Collingwood children's farm entrance 50m down the road from the convent entrance. Please arrive by 1.15pm. We don't wait if you're late. You'll have to catch up. Come earlier if you want a snack at the convent **💘 The Vibe** A Saturday designed for singles who enjoy playful banter, scenic wandering, and a little urban mischief. This is a slow‑dating adventure: gentle flirtation, organic café warmth, creekside charm, and a High‑Street bar hop that feels like a choose‑your‑own‑romantic‑subplot. Be aware that these walks incorporate a fair bit of randomness and serendipitous energy. ***Please note: This event is waitlisted.*** ***I want a balanced gender mix, i.e even numbers of girls and guys. I have a creep code operating and event expectations around no shows, read on for how that works.*** **Singles only**. Couples allowed only if they’re brand‑new (the “we’re still pretending to be chill” stage). Married folks: this one isn’t your chapter. **🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ The Route (A Flirt‑Trail in Three Acts**) **Act I — The Convent Spark** We gather at the Abbotsford Convent, where the architecture is dramatic and the pre‑walk mingling is deliciously awkward in all the right ways. Come early e.g 12.30 to grab a coffee and snack Then we slip onto the Merri Creek Trail, following its leafy curves — the kind of path that naturally encourages side‑by‑side conversation and gentle curiosity. **Act II — CERES: Organic Chemistry (Literally)** We arrive at CERES Community Farm, a pocket of earthy charm and wholesome vibes. Break at the CERES Organic Café for warm food, warm hands, and warmer conversations. This is the midpoint where people relax, open up, and start deciding who they want to walk next to for the second half. People can also join us at Ceres cafe if they want to skip the Merri creek walk and then do the Northcote high street bar hop. please let the organiser know before hand. **Act III — Northcote High‑Street Frolic** From CERES, we wander into Northcote, where the vibe shifts from earthy to artsy. A playful High‑Street bar hop + boutique exploration begins: - A cosy wine bar for soft‑spoken flirtation - A craft‑beer spot for louder laughter - A few quirky shops for spontaneous “try this on” moments - A record store where someone inevitably mentions their favourite band We finish by strolling back to Rushall Station, winding down the day with the mellow, satisfied energy that only comes from shared adventure. **🧣 What to Bring** - Comfortable walking shoes - Snacks + water - Winter layers - A playful, open attitude - Curiosity for strangers who might not stay strangers ⚠️ **Group Rules & Event Etiquette ⚠️** These are basic, commonsense standards that keep events safe, smooth, and enjoyable for everyone. 💘 **Flirtation Guidelines** This is a social event, not a pressure cooker.Don’t be pushy about phone numbers — let the moment offer itself Don't send unsolicited messages, get in person permission first If the vibe is mutual, go for it Become a regular — I’ll be testing this format over 3–4 events You’ll likely see the same lovely humans again at future singles nights/events or Eat Drink Dance “open” events The goal is to build a small, recurring ecosystem where people feel comfortable, familiar, and relaxed enough to be themselves. 👟 **Fitness Requirements** **Walking**: 3–4 km/hr.
