WeWalkPHL's Laurie S. is organizing a ~2hr walk on the Cynwyd Heritage Trail towards the Manayunk Bridge.
This isn't a Walk Around Philadelphia event, but will intersect the perimeter and one of the bridges that we've used to cross the Schuylkill on some of the walks, and is a great opportunity to warm up for the upcoming winter perimeter walks next month.
It's also just a great opportunity to walk with neighbors on MLK day!
You can check out the official event listing, but you might have to already be a member of the WeWalkPHL faceschmook group to access it. You can RSVP here to let me know that you'll be going; I'd love to see you there.
The rendezvous point is:
CVS parking lot
260 Rock Hill Rd
Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004
