Hiking
Club
What
started out as just an interest in exploring the mountain down the street
turned out to be a great way for the girl's to get together, get some
air and check out the great view at the top of our very own Cobble
Hill Mountain.
Our
meeting time is promptly at 8:00am every Sunday morning. Living on the
island we endure a change in climate quite often, for this reason we
are determined to head up the mountain during rain, shine or even snow!
We meet in the main parking lot at the base of the mountain next to
the new doggie park and head up as a group. And naturally our 4 legged
friends are always welcomed too!
If
you have been on the mountain before, you know that the only way up
is up. It's not generally for the weak of heart, however there are a
variety of inclines and declines, and we choose a "switchback"
style of hike giving ourselves a chance to recover, allowing us to persevere
to the finish. We have various paces and abilities, so you will definately
find a buddy that suits you!
If
you are interested in joining us, please just email me at robin@theomtree.com
to let us know you are coming and we'll be sure to look for you.
