KHChirps

• Some of our hike leaders are still away in Asia, some have returned, some are away hiking in Utah, and  others are heading over to Europe soon.   Although we have about active 18 Hike Leaders (list), only about 10 -12 of them are available to lead hikes in any specific month.
• KHC would like to add about 3 more hike leaders.   Contact us if you are interested.
• FMCBC’s April newsletter
• KHC Leaders do not maintain wait lists when an event fills up.   It may still be worth commenting about your interest in the event since a hike leader many choose to increase the number of spaces for the event if they can get more help (but its their choice in the end).      Members have to watch for cancellations in the event listing, especially in the last 48 hours.
• Mark Hopkins’ short video on Facebook from the top of Mt. Buse.
• A number of issues regarding membership and guests are currently under review by the Board of Directors.   More information on this is in a published News item on the website – link.

Hiking Poll

We ran an online poll for a couple of weeks to see members’ preferences for types of hikes.  We received 82 votes with the following results:

• Moderate hikes on designated trails – 18.3%
• More challenging hikes – 13.4%
• A hiking adventure – 24.4%
• Destination hikes to special trails – 17.1%
• Multi-day backpacks and camps – 18.3%
• Moderate/easy social hikes and walks – 7.3%
• Other – All of the above – 1.2%

Hike leaders are planning ahead with these results in mind.

Retired now, I get into the outdoors most days to hike, paddle, camp, snowshoe, run, walk, or explore. More information can be found at: KamloopsTrails.net.
