A PA gathering sounds good to me, (especially since that's where I live!), Mick. Would the hiking part be mandatory, as in a site inaccessible except on foot; or optional, as in day hikes for all those who can and want to? It can be good to have somebody back at the cabin or campsite fixing the stew!

Marymac, who, what with a bad back and a bum knee, wouldn't go for much of a hike, but enjoys the outdoors nonetheless!
