We will hike around 8 miles in the Estabrook and Carlisle Conservation areas starting from and ending at the Trial's Side Cafe.  This is a fairly flat course with few obstacles so we should be able to maintain a fast 2.5 to 3 mph pace.  We should be back at the cafe by around 11 am.

If we are hiking you must be prepared to use traction devices.

If there is snow and we are snow shoeing the distance will be shortened.

DIRECTIONS

The link from map will clearly define the cafe meeting place less than a 1/4 mile from Concord Center.  (The address is actually 97 Lowel Rd, but the mapquest marker comes out better with 98). If you are coming in from the rotary circling the Concord monument in the middle of a grassy area, take the Lowel Road exit next to the Colonial Inn. Then, in less than a 1/4 mile you will see a big sign on the left for the cafe right before a gas station.  

Please do not park on the Lowel Road side of the cafe ,but in the back by turning left into Keyes Road right after the gas station and then, almost immediately after, left again into Millbrook Tarry  to park somewhere at the back of the cafe.
