🚶 **A WALK ON THE WESTSIDE**: We'll head north along the Westside Trail from Scholls Ferry Road to the top of Mt. Williams (Burntwood Park), pause for a rest, and then turn back. The round trip is about 6 miles and takes about 2.5 hours.

🍕☕🍺 **REFRESHMENTS**: We should be back by about 4:30pm and you're invited to join us for Happy Hour at the Murrayhill Taphouse (on the lake). It's opposite the library, about 2 blocks NE (5 minutes walk) from where we start the hike.

⚠ **TRAIL**: 'Moderate'. The all weather trail is paved all the way. It includes some fairly steep hills that make it a great aerobic hike. [Click for Trail map](http://cdn1.thprd.org/pdfs2/document44.pdf). During summer there is little shade along the trail, so you are advised to bring drinking water and take appropriate precautions against sun exposure.

🏃‍♀️ **PACE**: 'Moderate'. To join this hike you should be capable of walking 6 miles at an average speed of 2.5 mph. We cross about 6 roads along the trail where we pause to allow everyone to catch up, so you may walk at your own pace, with time to stop and smell (or photograph) the roses. And yes, there are wild roses in the park.

🚗🚾 **FACILITIES**: There's free parking in the Mall on the east and north sides of the Chevron gas station, and a loo at the gas station. Sometimes, there is a portable public toilet (loo with a view) about halfway along the trail. Depending on the forecast, it may be prudent to bring an umbrella (and a flashlight for the winter evenings).

🐶 **DOGS**: Well behaved dogs on a leash are welcome

⚠ **SAFETY**: By signing up for or joining this hike you agree to take full responsibility for your own safety, and extend courtesy and consideration to other trail users.

❌ **CANCELATIONS**: If you need to cancel, please do so at least 48 hours in advance if possible, to give others a chance to attend. If there's a waiting list, 'No Shows' from previous events and persistent late sign-offs may be given lower priority.
