Meeting at Northwestern Avenue and Forbidden Drive
Love reading? Love hiking? Love chatting about books with other hikers? Join us for an afternoon hike and book discussion! Read a book/poem/short story/essay that is about or set in Philadelphia. You can find a list of books on Amazon or try some of the following suggestions:
Such a Fun Age – Kiley Reid
Long Bright River – Liz Moore
Silver Linings Playbook – Matthew Quick
The Dutch House – Ann Patchett
We Are Not Like Them – Christine Pride and Jo Piazza
We will walk on both Forbidden Drive and the wooded trails around Andorra during this 4ish mile hike. If you can’t get to (or finish) a book, come anyway! You might get a few good book recommendations, and you will always have a chat with other FOW hikers. We will meet at the corner of Northwestern Ave and Forbidden Drive. Dress in layers for the weather and bring along water and snacks as needed. The walk will be at a moderate pace and there will be some hills.
This hike is for ages 18+.
Distance: 4 miles
Level: Moderate (some inclines and declines, uneven surfaces)
