Minnesota
Valley SRA Guided Walk
Saturday, October 30 AVA
Sanction ID #118675
|
![]() Group walk definitions The Shufflers — This group will do just one loop and is the slow walking group that will stop at the top of hills to catch their breath, wait for pictures to be taken, and generally take their time and “smell the autumn leaves.” The Scooters — This group will be divided into faster and slower groups, if needed, leaving about 5 minutes apart. The group will move along at a pretty average pace. It will stop when group members feel a need and will definitely not be breaking any speed laws. The Batsouttahell — This is the fast group who may stop to read a marker or take a picture, but basically are very fast walkers. Walkers are encouraged to walk with the group most closely resembling their style and ability of walking. We want our group walks to be fun for everyone! This is a guided walk and according to AVA policies, all walkers must walk in a group with a group leader. No exceptions can be made as walkers on their own could represent a liability to NSTT and AVA if they are injured on the trail. |
