We will continue with the current sign up sheet which has been updated to allow for up to 8 hikers in a group. The sign up sheet will be shared with Walking Friend member who has indicated an interest in hiking.\u00a0 As we have been operating for the last couple of years, this process is dependent on someone initiating a hike they want to lead by entering a trail name, comments as applicable and choose easy, moderate or difficult from the drop down list.\u00a0 The leader then enters their name, etc as Hiker # 1.\u00a0 Along the bottom of the sheet there are tabs (pages) for each Tuesday.\u00a0 Depending on what device you are using you can swipe across the tabs or scroll using the arrows to find the date you want to hike.\u00a0 PLEASE NOTE<\/strong>:\u00a0 If at all possible do not click on the plus sign, this will create a blank page.\u00a0 Not a huge problem\u00a0 but does require someone to keep watch on the sign up sheet to delete these blank pages as they cause confusion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can monitor the sheet to see what hikes are available and sign up to join a group or initiate a group.\u00a0\u00a0 When signing up for a hike, you just enter your name, your email id, and choose the appropriate choice from the drop down list (the row below where you enter your email id).\u00a0 Choices are:\u00a0 1. will drive myself\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 2. Carpool – driver or\u00a0 3. Carpool – non driver.\u00a0<\/p>\n
