Hiking Around Philly

Cancelled Due to Rain -Corsons Inlet St Park, Boardwalk & Italian Fare

This location is shown only to members

Weather forecast significantly changed. Ten times as much rain expected. No fun to walk on cold windy wet day. Please change your RSVP to No so I know you received message.

I love going to the Jersey Beach in winter. It's quiet and peaceful. The air is good and fresh.

We'll meet at Corson's Inlet State Park in Ocean City, NJ at 945am and walk around this beautiful area for around 2-3 hours. Then we'll head for lunch at Piccini, maybe the real reason I'm doing this trip. Great Italian food including pizza. After lunch we will take a walk on the boardwalk or avenue for 1-2 hours. Plan to be back in Philly between 5-6 pm.

Dress warmly and for the wind. Switch cell phone numbers if you plan to meet us at Corson's. I do not have a phone. Here's a Google Map link to the meeting spot.

To carpool from Hill House (201 W Evergreen, 19118) meet at 745am. Riders should share cost of $35 for tolls and gas.

Two days before the event I'll send a weather report.
If you change your mind please change your RSVP. No-shows may be barred from my events. Email or call if you have a problem.
If the hike is full at the moment, then just check back a day or two before the hike. People always change plans.

Hi, I would love to join you guys - but I would need a ride... Is anybody driving via West Philly/University City and could take me along?

Thanks, Ingrid

Hiking Around Philly is different from most hiking groups because we hike (and sometimes bicycle) off the beaten path. We hike in the woods and the city. We go places that won't be found on any hiker's map. The events are usually within a 1.5 hour drive from Philly, though we sometimes visit NYC or the Jersey shore. Once each year we go to Acadia National Park in Maine, one of the best places in the world to hike. We sometimes participate in a conservation work party in a area we hike.

And, we do a lot more than hike; we explore. Whether it be a trail in a park or a back alley in the city, we always look for neat things, and we find them. Did you notice the 25 foot dinosaur made from pink suntan lotion bottles? We take time to appreciate a beautiful tree, a low flying eagle, or a hickory horned devil (look it up). We visit museums, historic houses, bakeries, battleships, and other neat places. We appreciate architecture, sculptures (Philly has more than any other US city, yea!), or whatever we find near our path. After a hike we often eat at a special place. And, we rarely repeat ourselves.

Fearless lost explorers and sidney (fleas) are curious. This group is not for people content to only go down one trail and up another, nor for people happy to take the same or beaten path. This group may also be different because only one person leads hikes, gets folks lost, and does the bulk of administrative work. So, please read on to make sure you want to be a proud flea.
