Itinerary:

What is a Half-And- Half? A half- and-half is a hike in which we park in the middle of the route and do an out-and-back one way, then an out-and- back the other way. Attendees can do just the first half if they wish, or they can stay for the whole thing (both halves). Both halves will be at a slower pace - everyone is welcome to attend and patience will be the word of the day. Backpackers in training who want to challenge themselves by carrying some extra weight are encouraged to attend.

We will meet at 7:00 and leave on our walk at 7:10 PM sharp. If you are bringing guests, including children, be sure to bring waivers along for all of them. These will be required for your guests to attend the event. If you have any questions about this, please contact the coordinator well in advance of the event.

First Half: Follow the unpaved path west along the perimeter of Mayfair Golf Club for a half hour, then return the same way.
Second Half: Follow the unpaved path east towards Kinsmen Park for a half hour, then return the same way.
