Midweek Trips.  Various leaders often lead mid-week trips both to the New Hampshire mountains and local destinations. Sometimes the hikes are strenuous, other times less so. Usually the destination is decided several days prior to the hike based on weather forecasts etc.

Winter hikes are local and when conditions warrant may involve the use of snowshoes, stabilicers or other traction devices. If you would like to receive notification of these hikes, send an Email to Fred Snell at andovermidweek@gmail.com and your name will be added to the Email list.
