I would like to get out on the trails at Sheldrick/Heald tract in WIlton, NH. We will hike in two conservation areas for this event. Our plan is to expand on the Camp trail that this group has done in the past. We start in Sheldrick Forest Preserve on Swiftway trail and then go onto Heald Connection/Camp Trail. We will hike 2 miles in and then 2 miles back. This is an out and back conservation/easy hike. It is easy hiking with only minimal hills. As an option we could possibly do the Castor pond loop which would be a 6 miles hike. We can make a decision as a group for the shorter or longer hike.

EVERYONE is WAITLISTED. To be moved onto the group hike, please provide your cell phone number. Please have in your backpack your emergency contact name and phone number. If you have attended before and I have your number you can skip the answer. Or you can message me privately.

**PLEASE NOTE:** I am the only one who can see your phone number. You will see it listed next to your name if you check the attendees but the other attendees cannot. If you have hiked with me before and I have your number you do not need to provide.

Please change your RSVP if you are unable to attend. I prefer if you know you will need to back out that you do it as soon as you know and no later than the night before the event.

Attendance will be 8 hikers. I prefer no guests but if you have someone you would like to bring please have them join our meetup group.

Miles: Estimate 3.25-4 miles or 5-6 miles.

WE start as a group, Hike as a GROUP and END as a group. This is a group hike and we are a social and chatty group.

PLEASE read entire description before deciding to RSVP.

Sorry, NO DOGS on this event due to both conservation areas rules.

PARKING: Parking lot can fit perhaps 10 cars. There maybe other cars in the lot hiking here.

My pace is 1.5 to 2 miles an hour. We will all stay together as a group.

We will observe the tread lightly principle and of course pack in and pack out.

Their are no bathrooms at either property.

An easy nature walk but come prepared as for any hike. Backpack, snacks, water (1-2 liters), hiking boots or hiking shoes, appropriate clothing for the hike, extra clothing (hat, gloves, socks) hiking poles, first aid kits. I recommend you bring micro-spikes with you.
