We will hike up one side of Big Hill and down the other, then proceed to the Polly Coon Bridge, cross over to Hopkinton Grills Sanctuary, up the hill and back down, before returning to the parking lot. The ups and downs will keep us warm. Meet at the parking lot at the cul-de-sac end off Bowling Lane in Bradford Village.
