Although our mainstay is hiking we've also  been  biking, camping, kayaking, walking and eating with cameras.  Just about anything outdoorsy with camera included.   The trails we choose range from easy to moderately strenuous and almost all include rocks, roots, and elevation changes.

Looking to start a walking or hiking group for stay at home moms or stay at home dads with babies or young children. We could take turns meeting up in member's neighborhoods for stroller walks or meet at a local park for short hikes. I'm a new mom who just stopped working to stay at home with my now 4 month old. He and I have been going for walks and short hikes but would love company for interesting adult conversation! Hoping this could be a once a week activity.

Non-strenuous exercise with a social flair. Meet weekly to walk. Re-group occasionally for dinner and socializing. We will go out of town for an occasional leisurely hike. Misc other activities will be added as well. Help and suggestions are incouraged. Plus, anyone can create and host an activity! So if you don't like the dates and times of the activities offered than create one that you do like. If you need help just let me know.

The purpose of this Meetup group is simple.  To get outside and make lasting memories.  The new friendships and contributions to the local community are just a add bonus.  Stop by the Junction and say hello!

Once a month, we go on a hike among the 25 miles of hiking trails within the campus of Warren Wilson College. We focus on weekday hikes, with occasional weekend jaunts. Because we do the same hike twice each week and then repeat it every fifth week, the emphasis …

This group is being started as a branch of The Charlotte Metro Christian Singles however I don't want to limit it to only singles so that is why I'm calling it a social group instead of a singles group!
