Calling all sweet holiday movie fans! Hawksnest’s quiet woods and tranquil ponds set the scene for a CCNW Hallmark movie plot! We’ll build our storyline as we walk, with the predictable Hallmark “formula” as our guide. Who’s our main character, and what’s brought them back to Hawksnest? Who from their small town past do they connect with, and what does their future hold? In true Hallmark fashion, we’ll put a bow on it and enjoy a cocoa and candy cane ending! Please bring a small mug or cup.

If you’ve never watched a Hallmark movie, try to catch one before the walk for familiarity with the plot formula.

Meet at 10:15 to sign in and stretch. We’ll begin walking promptly at 10:30. Hosted by Sue Moynihan with Sweep TBD. Read to the bottom for directions to our meeting point.

Prerequisite: Instructional clinic and ability to walk the distance over uneven terrain. Open to all levels if the distance and pace suit you.
Distance: ~2 miles. No shorter or turn-back option.
Pace: Moderate on the level, slower on the hills, with several view and rest stops to build our storyline.
Terrain: Hard pack trail with some short hills, roots, and some sand

Meeting Point: Intersection of Spruce and Seth Whitefield Roads, off Exit 85, Harwich.

Rt. 6 to Exit 85 in Harwich. Turn left onto Rt. 137. Turn right onto Spruce Rd. just past the traffic signal. Take Spruce Road for 1/2 mile. Look for dirt road on the left (Seth Whitefield) and park on Spruce at the intersection with Seth Whitefield. Do not follow Waze, as this may bring you in the back way on sandy, pothole-riddled roads.
