A pleasant walk in varied woods on the park’s trails, soft underfoot. Ideal to get you moving again after a long pandemic break. Lunch/snack by the beach, to allow plenty of distancing. Some dropout possibilities, consult leader beforehand. No dogs please.
COVID-19: Please follow the rules given by Public Health and BTC for distancing etc. The GRCA has been cautious in its opening up, and visitors generally respect the rules.
