Sunapee Fall Walkabout – Trail #3 Report

20130921_Fallwalkabout3_Hike

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.

White Ledges for Lunch

The Fall Walkabout Series starts off with a fabulous hike up to Lake Solitude and Mt Sunapee.

We had a small group on Saturday that hiked Trail #1 Newbury Harbor to Old Province Road.  Kate Gordon, Patricia Denny, Lian Baer, Elias Baer and Nick Baer.  The overcast morning gave way to partly sunny and windy conditions in the mid-60’s, a great hiking day.  A stop at White Ledges overlooking Lake Solitude was a great lunch stop before continuing to the summit.
