This is a FAST PACED HIKE as described below.

 

That said, RAIN or SHINE, we'll hike the refurbished South Peachtree Creek boardwalk from MEDLOCK PARK to the Candler Lake loop (on the Emory campus) and back. We'll maintain a brisk pace (3.5-4mph or 16-17minute/mile) for the duration of the hike, with one hydration break at the Emory campus lake. The majority of the hike is on a wooden boardwalk or concrete path, with some sections on gravel, dirt etc., so wear appropriate footwear.

We will get a few miles in before we stuff our faces and eat too much over the next few days!

Many Thanks to Kiran for allowing me to use his write up and photo (again).
