Northwest Passage

Friends of the Fells

Join Hobbit to find our way around some of the bodies of water in the Fells!

86 N Border Rd

Difficulty: ModerateAppropriate for: AllLeader: Hobbit WalkerAbout the Outing Leader: 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 (plug!). 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.Useful information about the Fells and this leader can be viewed <a href="http://outbarefoot.org/stories/infosheet.html" title="http://outbarefoot.org/stories/infosheet.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>, along with a running <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">log of past outings here</a>.About the Outing: The hike will walk a moderate loop around some reservoirs and other terrain in the western part of the Fells. There may be a side-quest or two depending on how the group is feeling. Estimate about 5 - 6 miles of mixed terrain, nothing super-rugged.We'll meet at 11:00 AM in the "secret spot" turnaround at the end of North Border, which Google semi-incorrectly identifies as "86 North Border Rd, Winchester, MA 01890" but makes Eventbrite place the parking in the right spot. Drive all the way up the hill to the turnaround at the end to park!If you sign up and find that you have to cancel your Eventbrite order on short notice, or need more information, please text or call 617-501-3254 to keep us updated.Heavy rain or snow cancels.Contact: (617) 501 - 3254 or friends@fells.org with questionsDogs: While we love experiencing the outdoors with our dogs, this program is not suitable for dogs.
