Yes Virginia, It's Take A Hike Day!

Friends of the Fells

Celebrate "National Take a Hike Day!" with Friends of the Fells!

Flynn Rink

Difficulty: ModerateAppropriate for: Anyone comfortable with 5 - 6 miles in the woodsLeader: Hobbit (Al Walker)About Hobbit: Hobbit is a tech geek and enthusiastic explorer of Boston-area parks, primarily North Shore but with occasional jaunts farther afield including the Whites. He is a member of Trustees, Mass Audubon, and several local Friends groups. His "home group" is the Friends of Harold Parker, and he can often be found leading their weekly Wednesday morning outings. His greatest enjoyment comes from the ever-changing "symphony of textures" underfoot across the four seasons, as well as contributing data to Open Streetmap and generally helping endorse and care for our precious outdoor resources.About the hike: It's the right day for a nice Fall hike! This one is a little less up-and-down than previous outings, but still enough to take in some fun parts of the eastern Fells. We'll start at the Flynn Rink and wander northeastward to the Virginia Wood area, rich in history as the Hayward mill village back in its day, and loop southward along some easier parts of Rock Circuit and Cross Fells. Total route and distance is not pre-determined, and can vary depending on how people are feeling.Check out information about "National Take a Hike Day" <a href="https://americanhiking.org/national-take-hike-day/" title="https://americanhiking.org/national-take-hike-day/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>.Previous outings with this leader can be <a href="http://outbarefoot.org/stories/fells-prev.html" title="http://outbarefoot.org/stories/fells-prev.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">viewed here</a>.If you sign up and have to cancel later, or have questions, please text or call 617-501-3254 to keep us updated.Contact: friends@fells.org with questionsDogs: While we love experiencing the outdoors with our dogs, this program is not suitable for dogs.
