IMPORTANT INFORMATION

RE: SAFE DISTANCING OPERATIONS

 

There are a few changes that people will have to follow:

 

  • No carpooling (to ensure social distancing)

  • People not feeling good should stay home

  • We will space ourselves during the walks and when stoppages occur – people can switch off to talk with others

  • Coffee afterwards may not be possible – leader to decide

  • Please drive directly to the meeting place at the start of the hike.    

Meet at the start of the hike at 8:30 AM unless otherwise indicated. Wear hardy hiking shoes or boots, and bring water, hiking sticks and suitable clothing for weather. Most hikes will be under 2 hours in length and a stop for refreshments will be indicated if possible. Please note, these hikes are not easy strolls as most participants come to get the exercise. There will be hills and a moderately fast pace, and hikes are subject to change as conditions change.  For more information on any of the hikes call the leader.
