What we’re about
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.
Upcoming events (4+)

Because of a high demand and I can only bring 6 people at a time, this is another date. Hopefully those on a wait-list can come on another date.
Anyone wanting to car pool, let me know.

Greetings fellow Saunterers,
We will visit the Urban Forestry Center at 45 Elwyn Road, Portsmouth.
This is a state park forest used for education, recreation and other events. Part of the walk goes past a salt marsh. it's an easy hike, not much for hills. Most of it is in forest land. Most trails are wide. There is a map showing tree identification. If you're coming through or near the Raymond area or you're coming east from the Manchester area we could car pool. This is a popular walking/hiking area. There is plenty of parking. Park at the far end of the parking lot.
I will also advertise this for Sierra Club members so it could fill.

Due to many people wanting to go to the 27 June event, this is to offer a second day to visit the garden.
