Itinerary: | |||||||
Due to other plans falling through I decided to post this last minute fitness hike in case any one felt like joining me tomorrow morning. The plan is to keep up a steady fast pace(3.5mph) for the entire duration of the hike with NO REST BREAKS. Although the hike is only 5 miles and over relatively easy terrain it is rated as a D3 event due to the pace and is not suitable for people looking for a nice easy stroll. I will be walking the entire way but some people have found that they may have to slowly jog to keep up. This hike will be starting in Sope Creek and then heading into the wooded hills of Cochran Shoals but not all the way to the flat gravel trail. We will try our best to finish in 90 minutes and the exact route that we end up taking will be tweaked depending how the group is doing so that we finish on time. Please try to arrive a couple of minutes early as we will be starting right on time at 10am and be aware that the bridge over Sope Creek just Northeast of the parking area on Paper Mill Road is closed. | |||||||
