Itinerary: | |||||||
Hikers, it's preferable you bring a pack similar in weight and size to what you would bring on a day hike.
Backpackers, in addition to the day pack specifications, you need to bring the kitchen sink and microwave and then some. Start at the level you are comfortable with and work your way up (just remember it's supposed to be training so it ought to be a bit tougher to do). Really, really good training for your hikes/backpacking trips to come in summer or just to improve your overall stamina. Better to train (aka suffer) now and enjoy the trip later! There are 120 feet (~40m) of McHugh's Bluff to climb up.
Route #1:
Route #2:
Route #3: In the span of an hour, do all 3 routes and we will complete the circuit oh, maybe about six times with a pack on. More circuits and faster if you're cheating and travelling light... ;) 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... | |||||||
