The Full Cleveland Walk

Saturday 10/20/2018

Beginning at South Hills Hardware ending at Collision Bend Brewery

The Full Cleveland is an all day exploration of parts of the city that most people, even lifelong Clevelanders, never get to experience. Think of it as a nature walk, but with coffee shops and bars along the way!  

This is a great way to spend quality time doing something really interesting with friends, or to meet new people.

We walk all day, but you can join us along the way, and pop out at anytime. Follow on Facebook for regular updates. https://www.facebook.com/events/1849098101809156/

What to wear:

We make the walk rain or shine, just dress appropriately for the weather and wear good walking shoes. The weather often changes over the course of the day, so layering is recommended!

I tend to recommend a little backpack in case you want to pick something up along the way. That way you don’t have to carry a shopping bag for miles.

Who can go?

Anyone can go, the later times includes stops at bars, so we tend towards the adult. Bring your friends! This is a great way to reconnect with people, or meet new people. We’ve seen friends converse for the entire 12 hour walk!

How much does it cost?

The walk itself is free, but you are responsible for your own food and drink. Buffet Lunch at Lucy’s Ethiopian Restaurant is $15, but there are other great lunch spots nearby if you want to go another direction.

@InaS,

No problem, we had 48 participants, mostly from Facebook. I was just hoping to give some opportunity to Google Local Guides. 

Really my fault for not noticing earlier that it was quarantined. 

Cheers!

@FullCleveland I was in Cleveland on this past weekend. Shame I didn't know you guys were doing this. We did tour around ourselves though and visited, Slyman's, Baseball heritage museum, League park, the Christmas Story house and museum, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Lots to see and do in and around Cleveland.

@N4speed77,

I found out after the fact that the moderators had quarantined my meet up because I had an email address in it I think. 

But we have them every spring and fall, the next one is April 20th and it will be fantastic! Exploring University Circle, Larchmere, and a few other east side greats!

Cheers, sounds like you had a great time yourself!
