Welcome intermediate walkers and beginner/intermediate hikers!!

WALKERS

One of the best forms of exercise is to walk. Even though we know we should do it-we just can't find the time or someone to walk with. How about meeting new people  and at the same time getting that exercise we are told we should do!  Brockton has a really nice park called DW Field Park that we can meet at. Their inner circle is 2 miles and adding this other section it becomes 3.7 miles.  We walk the 3.7 miles 95% of the time.  We also will add walks to various locations and parks to add more variety, but the main park will be DW.

Let's meet, talk and walk. The whole idea is to try and not walk alone.  This group is for intermediate walkers.. meaning you have to be able to walk an okay pace around the park.  We usually walk 3.75 in about an hour in 10/15 minutes.  There is a potential if everyone is a brisk walker and you are not you would walk alone which is why I mention the pace here in this description.  

HIKERS

The length of time and locations of meeting can vary around Blue Hills. They can range for a quick hike from the museum to the top and back down with in 40-45 minutes, or a more lengthy hike that can be 2-3 hours. The pace will be average not super fast. We do stop/take breaks, but you have to be able to walk up an incline in order to take part. You should bring plenty of water, a snack and dress appropriately for a hike.

DISCLOSURE/WAIVER

If you join this group you are walking/hiking at your own risk/fitness level. Joining constitutes an acknowledgement that the Walker/Hiker is physically able to undertake the Walk/Hike; it is a waiver of any and all claims arising out of the Walk/Hike that the Walker/Hiker might assert against any parties connected with the Walk/Hike.

Goal- Walk/Hike at least three or more times a week (mostly in the evenings weekdays/mornings on the weekends). I will add dates based of my and my assistant organizers schedule as well as reviewing the weather.

Please only request to join this group if you intend on taking part April-September.  I will remove you after a month if you do not show for a walk/hike.  A picture is mandatory.
