Join Tim as he punches the clock for the tenth time and re-walks the six most popular walks from his first nine classes.  Walks will be between four and six miles in widely spread locations in Montgomery and Greene Counties.  These walks are not suitable for those using walking aids. Before registering, be sure that you have been approved by your medical advisor for such an undertaking.  This is a physically active class and is NOT a slow paced, historic walking tour.  Be prepared to meet and share the trail with others in the class.  NO earphones or ear buds are allowed in the class.
