Hike on the old trail from Thurrell Road to Emery’s Bridge Road, with stops at the Big Bump, Orris Falls, Tatnic Ledges and Balancing Rock. Rain date May 11.

Meet at the trail head on Thurrell Road in South Berwick. If high water prevents us from crossing the stream that feeds Orris Falls, which it likely will, we will hike to the Falls and to the foundations and the Big Bump, then head back to the cars in order to hike to Balancing Rock and Tatnic Ledges from the Emery's Bridge Road access.

Meet at our parking lot on Fox Farm Hill Road in North Berwick, then carpool over to Bauneg Beg Hill Road where we will likely park at a pull out area on the west side of the road approximately 2/3 mile south of Hammond Road. Please feel free to join us at the parking lot, or simply look for a cluster of cars on Bauneg Beg Hill Road and meet us there. Darrell DeTour will lead.
