Fall Walkabout on Bog Mountain

New SRK Greenway members, old friends, board members, visitors, new friends, trail maintainers — it was a diverse and delightful group that gathered on a crisp Fall Saturday morning to enjoy a hike up Bog Mountain.

Sixteen smilling SRK hikers headed out on Trail #7 from Route 4A in Wilmot, past Dud’s Dell, across Stearns Road, and up the ridge to the summit of Bog Mountain from where we enjoyed the views and settled the question of which distant peak was which:FallWalkabout_102613_top

Fortified and exhilarated we descended on the trail lined with slippery leaves….carefullyFallWalkabout_102613_3

…and the good news is that we all made it, dignity intact.  We were back at the Wilmot Library parking lot before 1’00.   This was a fine day to be out and meet new people while enjoying our local trails and woods.

Sunapee Fall Walkabout – Trail #3 Report

We had a great group of experienced hikers on Saturday 9/21 to tackle Section 3 of the SRKG.  Brian Faughnan was joined by Ed Blanchard, Peter Hope, David Roy and Betsy Saffarewich. David is a member of the Monadnock Greenway and maintains a section of their trails.

The group hiked from the Sunapee Town offices up to Deer Hill Road. The weather was perfect with abundant sunshine and cool temperatures.  There were some good views along the way. They did not stop for lunch and completed the 7.3 mile hike in 3 hours.
