Nobles Outing Club

3 faculty and 11 students took advantage of the faculty comment-writing day on Nov. 8th to hike the Champney Falls Trail up Mt Chocorua; glorious conditions on the summit– low 50s, no wind, dry rock, and a bluebird day. Pitcher Falls and Champney Cascades were in full flow, worth the detour. A great trip up until the moment of a slip, fall, and dislocated shoulder on the descent. Luckily we were able to hike out, albeit slowly and in some degree of discomfort. First real accident in 48 years of leading the Outing Club!

Two trips this fall (Oct. 11th, Nov. 7th) to one of our favorite loop hikes, the Mt Morgan - Mt Percival "caves and ladders" hike. Always a fun adventure!

The first non-local Outing Club hike in 19 months (we climbed Mt Chocorua on Feb 19, 2020)! It was great to get outside and scramble to the top of Mt Monadnock on such a gorgeous early Fall day (low 60s, cloudless sky, 15 mph winds). Another "Biddle Hike" in the books (what we call the first hike of each year in honor of the founder of the Nobles Outing Club, long-ago English teacher Bill Biddle, pictured below). May the Outing Club continue to offer such opportunities to our community.

Despite the sub-zero temperatures on MLK Monday, the Outing Club still managed to enjoy the outdoors with a scenic snowshoe trek along the Pemiwegasset River on the Lincoln Woods Trail. Everyone stayed warm with the proper clothing and gear.
