A walk and lunch on The Hill

Meet across the street from St. Ambrose Church at Marconi and Wilson near the fountain.

PLEASE BE ON TIME. IT IS UNFAIR TO KEEP THE OTHERS WAITING.
From I-44 and S Kingshighway (exit 287) take Kingshighway south to Shaw Ave. Turn right on Shaw; drive to Marconi. Take a left at Marconi. Drive to Wilson Street and park near St. Ambrose Catholic Church. The walk begins at St Ambrose Church School on Wilson. This will be a moderate to easy 3.5 mile walk. It takes approximately 1.5 hours.
NOTE: as there are 25 people signed up, we will not be able to eat as a group afterward. There are a lot of great places to choose from.
Also, due to this size group. PLEASE bring your $1.
Greg spends a lot of time on planning these routes! Thank you.

What to bring: - WATER – THIS IS IMPORTANT ALL YEAR LONG AND ESPECIALLY IN THE WARMER MONTHS. WE WILL USUALLY BE OUT FOR AT LEAST 1 ½ HOURS AND THAT IS TOO LONG TO GO WITHOUT REPLENISHING THE LIQUIDS THAT YOU WILL BE BURNING WHILE WALKING. – I AVOID DRINKING CAFFEINATED BEVERAGES BEFORE WALKING. THE ARE A LOT OF GOOD ARTICLES ABOUT “effects of caffeine and exercise” ON THE INTERNET OR ASK YOU DOCTOR. - Dress in layers (not sure what the weather will do). The top couple of layers should be easily unbuttoned or unzipped to allow easy ventilation. Wear a hat. - I recommend broken in hiking shoes over Tennis shoes. A lot of the trails are over loose gravel and dirt and the treads on the hiking boots work much better. - Snacks – EAT LIGHTLY BEFORE THE WALK AND BRING A POWER BAR OR SNACK TO MUNCH ON DURING THE WALK. After the hike we will meet at a local resturant, for convesation and a well earned treat. Meetup Donation:
