About 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 here, along with a running log of past outings here.
About the Outing: Sections of the Cross Fells trail (blue) can be ""interesting"", albeit not quite the endless rugged up-and-down of Skyline. Let's sample some of the Cross Fells trail on both sides of I-93, and then branch off to loop back over some different areas with occasional intriguing construction. The distance is estimated at around 6 miles.
Side note: June 1 is supposedly ""national barefoot day"", but sort of for the wrong reasons. We can talk about that on day-of!
