Please read all of the following information before RSVP'ing.
Do not FOMO into any of the Eastern Hiking & Adventure events unless you intend to attend, i.e. check the date, the distance and complexity of the walk before joining that walk. Those members who consistently are last minute withdrawals, are no shows or disrespectful to any members or leaders will be asked to instantly remove themselves from that walk and will be removed from the group. All the leaders are unpaid volunteers who spend many hours of their own time researching each walk to the best of their abilities at no cost. The organizers will, to the best of their abilities, attempt to ensure that no one is left on the waitlist (within reason) with priority given to those loyal members who regularly attend walks and provide an enjoyable environment for others.
Fitness Level:
You need to be in good physical condition and have experience with multiday pack hikes. Grade 3 hike but challenging due to distance and the need to keep to a steady pace with a pack.
