About this event
Join us for a relaxed morning walk through the woods as we explore the historic Jolly Rand Trail in Exeter. Jolly Rand follows a former cart path through peaceful woodlands, crossing brooks and winding through the Kimball Reserve/RiverWoods area. The Town of Exeter describes the trail as well marked and an easy out-and-back walk, making this a great opportunity to enjoy some time outside without a strenuous hike. We'll walk at a comfortable, unhurried pace, taking time to enjoy the scenery, conversation and quiet moments along the way. This isn't a guided walking meditation — simply a chance to slow down, get some fresh air and spend time together in nature. 🥾 **About the Walk** * Approximately 1.8 miles * Easy to moderate * Mostly wooded trail along a former cart path * Some brook crossings and natural, uneven terrain * We'll allow approximately 1–1½ hours so we don't need to rush 📍 **Where We'll Meet** We'll meet at the Jolly Rand Trail access on Pickpocket Road in Exeter, NH, just off Route 111 toward Kingston. The trail entrance is on the right shortly after turning onto Pickpocket Road. Parking is limited, so carpooling is encouraged when possible. ### What to Bring Wear comfortable walking or hiking shoes and dress for the weather. Bring water and bug spray if needed. 🌧️ **Weather** This is a weather-dependent event. If rain or poor trail conditions make the walk unsuitable, we'll reschedule. Come enjoy a peaceful walk in the woods, some good company, and a little time away from the busyness of everyday life. 🌲
