Doylestown PA WISH Walking Meet!!

[DoeWDW]

A couple of us are planning to get together on October 25th in Doylestown PA for a long and sociable walk. The walk is 6.2 miles in length on the sidewalks of Doylestown. The course is flat and should be stroller-friendly. There's no time limit so you can walk at your own pace.

We're still in the planning stages but we're thinking of starting the walk around 11 AM.

So far, it looks like Lulu201, Auntmeme and myself will be there. If anyone else is interested, please post here or send me a PM.

I might be interested --- keep me posted. We have a trip planned to NYC that weekend with family but it is still up in the air. If that falls thru I'd love to join you WISHers!

I want to go!!!

On my schedule for that day I have my son's football game at 10:30am. It's an away game, but I can get my husband to cover that game. I have a cheer game at 2pm. It's a home game, so there is no travel involved. I am an assistant coach, but I have been at all games this year so far, so I can try to get out of the game. I think my husband should be able to get her to the game since my son's away game is not too far away.

Please count me in, but I will have to make sure that I can get out of the game that day.........and that DH is ok with covering both games. He has his gaurd weekend the week prior, so I have to do both games that weekend. It's only fair right!!

Doylestown, is so close for me. This sounds like so much fun!

I love just south of Doylestown - I'd love to join you. How do you feel about a well mannered pooch joining us? (Not mandatory) It sounds like fun - Doylestown is a fabulous town!

 

[DoeWDW]

As long as your pooch is leashed and you clean up after him/her, I think it would be wonderful!! My doxie is not very well-behaved, so I'm leaving her at home

Yay, there are now 5 of us WISHers going to the walk in Doylestown!!
1. Lulu201
2. Auntmeme

Wovenwonder may be there too if her NY plans fall through.
Who else wants to join us??? The more, the merrier!!

I'm bringing hubby along - he loves to walk and he's anxious to see the castles in Doylestown. Here's a link to the walk we're doing:

If you have questions or concerns, please post them here or PM me.

I'm so excited about meeting my new WISH friends in person!!!

 

[Auntmeme]

Can't wait to meet everyone. I feel so incognito and now you'll know who I am. Weird huh? Thanks Doe-Doe for organizing.

Is anyone else interested in getting together??

We'll be meeting about 10:45 AM in front of Kenny's News Agency, 17 West State Street in Doylestown. We'll start walking around 11 AM.

I'll have trail maps so no one gets lost. The walk is 10 kilometers which is about 6.2 miles. It is a flat trail on the sidewalks of Doylestown so it looks like it's suitable for strollers. You're welcome to bring your dog as long as they are on a leash and you clean up after them.

This trail has been set up by the Liberty Bell Wanderers Volksmarch Club. Here is their description of the trail:

This walk takes you along the tree lined sidewalks of Doylestown, PA, which is the county seat of Bucks County. Bucks County was the home of Pearl S. Buck, author and Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winner. Americas famous author James A. Michener was raised in Doylestown. The homes along the trail are beautiful examples of the leading architecture covering several centuries. Most of the homes have gorgeous flower gardens. Doylestown is also the only U.S. town having two European style castles, both built in the early 1900's by the artistic genius, Henry C. Mercer. The trail goes by these castles, one now called the Mercer Museum (displaying early American furnishings, folk art and implements), and the other, now called Fonthill (his former mansion). The trail also passes the Moravian Tile Works and the Michener Art Museum. All these may be visited. Some have an entrance fee.

It will just be our WISH group walking - so far there are 5 WISHers signed up - and any associated spouses, kids, friends, pets, etc who want to tag along. We will be walking at our own pace, so if someone needs to stop and rest, that's fine.

My husband and I will be heading to a local restaurant afterward for a late lunch and anyone else is welcome to join us.

Rain date will be the next Saturday - November 1st.

I wish I could but I'm not able to get to Pennsylvania, then. One of these days, I will, though.

What a great idea!
