There are several points where yo u could 'bail out' and call it a day. No judgement!DATE: Sunday 7 June.TIME : 8am.PLACE: Nelson Institute on Hardy Street, opp. Prices Pharmacy and NMI T. (Old 1912 brick buidling beside Super Liquor Store.)GEAR: Bring light bo ots, walking poles, raincoat, food and plenty of fluids. While this event i s NOT A RACE, you need to have a fair bit of fitness to complete my crazy c ourse. I will be there as leader. A MAP will be provided if groups wanna sp lit up. NOTE: This ambitious day walk is a nod to the late Grahame Harris w ho invented a similar 'Urban Walk' about 20 years ago. He was NTC's Trip Co -ordinator.< /tr>
