Up North Orienteers

Barrington, NH

Up North Orienteers

Orienteering is an international sport where you follow a course using a map and compass. Beginners follow trails, but as you advance, more of the course is done off-trail. You can come and race with us, or you can learn to be more confident walking or hiking in the woods using a map and compass. If you do any hiking, adventure racing, hunting, or bushwhacking, we can teach you to read your map and use a compass. It's a great family sport, and you are welcome to do the courses in small groups or individually. Up North Orienteers is affiliated with a New Hampshire orienteering club of the same name (http://upnoor.org/). Our objective is to foster and promote orienteering as a recreational and competitive sport. Up North Orienteers offers a full schedule of orienteering events in New Hampshire. Our event schedule is dominated by local meets (designed for beginners, casual orienteers, and competitive types). Most of our meets are in the spring and the fall. We also have some permanent courses where we do training and practice skills.

Rockingham Outdoors and More...

Raymond, NH

Rockingham Outdoors and More...
Hi all! My intention is for this to be a very friendly group of people (at least nearing 40 if not over) who love to do local things outdoors and fun activities indoors. I've lived in this county for the better part of 20 years and am finding there's lots to EXPLORE right here! Hiking the White Mountains is great, but this group will provide many options closer to home for outdoor fun. We'll have occasional distant excursions as well though. During the colder months, we'll do lots of active indoor activities too! Bring your sense of adventure as this will be MY first time doing some of these walks/hikes!  And since I have a deep intellectual side, I'd also like to plan some discussions on topics of interest like or maybe even have guest speakers... A note on the current state of meetup affairs as it compares to R.O.A.M.:  Because I'm concerned about the impact on the environment of bringing a huge group of people on a nature trail and because I feel huge groups negatively impact the experience of others who are trying to enjoy the beauty and quiet of the outdoors, our groups are limited to 20-25 people.  While Mountain National Forest Rules recommend all groups be limited to 10 people and and require the limitation in designated "wilderness" areas. We also will never charge annual dues or membership fees, claiming that it helps with the cost of running a meetup group (seriously...collecting a $15 annual fee from thousands of members is a money making venture, not a group of friends getting together).  This groups operates in the original spirit of meetup. We do this because we love to and want to share it! Please join if Rockingham County destinations are convenient for you, you love friendly people and you love to have fun!

Dover Area and Beyond Adventures

Dover, NH

Dover Area and Beyond Adventures
Are you new in town? Not a native New Hampshire-ite? Are you lifelong local who likes meeting new people with different perspectives? Please join us! This Meetup was started for New Hampshire transplants. Now the group is a mix of those newly arrived, transplants who have been here for years, and lifelong locals who enjoy the mix. The goal of this group is to create an environment for making new friends and creating new experiences for those making their home in and around Seacoast New Hampshire. We enjoy trivia competitions, sunrises at the ocean, trips on walking trails, historical activities, karaoke, brunch featuring live music, movies, bingo, museum adventures, picnics and more! Never hesitate to offer up a suggestion for an activity to your organizers! One of the fun things we do is if the group wins a prize at a trivia event or similar event we collect the prize and add it to our annual picnic drawing event we do in the summer. For every time you attend one of our meetup activities as an active dues paying member you are entered into the drawing. **Please be considerate of other attendees and venues. First of all, only sign up if you've checked your calendar and are sure you can make it. Do not take a slot if you might join us. As always, if there is a wait list, your organizer team is quick to expand our numbers if the venue permits.

Raymond Hiking Meetup Group

Raymond, NH

Welcome to the Raymond Hiking Meetup Group! If you have an adventurous spirit & love being in the great outdoors, then this is the group for you. We are a community of hiking, camping, kayaking, orienteering and fitness enthusiasts who enjoy exploring the natural beauty that Raymond & its surrounding areas have to offer. Whether you're a novice or experienced, come join us as we embark on adventures, forge new friendships, & create memories. Let's embrace the wonders of nature together! I used to be a member of the Raymond Area Outdoors Group. Over time it lost its leaders so it was purged from Meetup. I hope to restart the group & make it a fun, functional group, focused mostly on hiking. Most hikes will be in the Raymond area. Hikes will happen year round. Contact me if you want to assist as organizer, have suggestions or requests for a specific hike. Most meetup groups charge a small fee for each event. I do not want that pain so I paid all meetup fees for a year. Please don't try to pay me for any events. Instead of paying me, consider paying 25$, however, (any amount makes you a member) for a Bear Paw Regional Greenways membership. I'll try to have membership application forms at all hikes. Bear-Paw Regional Greenways PO Box 19, Deerfield, NH 03037 I also want to plug a local outdoor equipment company in Dover, NH called NEMO. They support many outdoor organizations and their equipment is as good or better than anyone's.
