\\ 6:15 SHARP departure\\ \\*Tuesday instead of Wednesday due to Christmas eve falling on a Wednesday\\*

This weeks night hike will take us to the Upper Wissahickon along the creek and over to the Chesnut Hill side of the woods. I will plan the route on some less traveled paths...
We will be covering about 6 miles and plan to move at about 3.2- 3.5mph with very few stops.

Gear required: hiking footwear as there will be plenty of rocks and roots and HEADLAMPS - Red lights if possible, but ok if you need white light.

Light rain or shine event. Heavy rain or storms will cancel.

PARKING AND MEETING LOCATION: We will meet at the corner of Brierdale Rd and Cathedral Rd, side closest to the shopping center parking lot (see Meetup location Pin). There is parking on plenty of parking on Cathedral Rd.

Guest policy: I strongly prefer that anyone planning to attend events joins Outdoor Adventure Friends. This is for communication purposes. Meetup is free …..

Please note: I cannot respond to calls, texts, emails, messages on meetup, or comments on the event page once we start hiking. Plan accordingly. I highly advise allowing extra time for arrival to avoid last minute chaos....:)

NOTICE: Meetup organizers are not professionally trained. By attending an event you are agreeing that YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY AT ALL TIMES. No member of the group EXCEPT YOURSELF can be held responsible for any damages, accidents, or liabilities incurred while hiking with us.
