Why do we do this? Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education - Mark Twain, Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894)
Hikers, it's preferable you bring a pack similar in weight and size to what you would bring on a day hike.
There are 120 feet (~40m) of McHugh's Bluff to climb up.
Route #1:
Route #2:
Route #3: As is customary, we'll head to a pub after for refreshments (beer, juice or water, it's up to you! Protein and yeast after the workout is always good for morale and is the Real reason why I do this heh) and to get to know your fellow members better (this bit is a bonus)... which makes it more fun doesn't it? So come on by and have a great way to start the week! Chatting with your fellow club members, forgetting about starting another week, etc... | |||||||
