In The Shadow Of The Bridge

I will be in the UK for the first week of November, celebrating my best friend's wedding, so the first roam of the month will be on Friday 13th. The Golden Gate Bridge occupies a special place in the iconography of San Francisco. This new route will not take us over the bridge, but around the approaches, checking out various little spots within the Presidio. We will do some climbing to get close to the top of Rob Hill, and there will be plenty of dirt tracks - and maybe a little off-roading. We will meet beside the Warming Hut at the west end of Crissy Field, at the benches away from the bridge. (Pedantry alert: since we will always be to the south of the bridge itself, there will be no actual bridge shadows cast on our route, but it seemed a poetic way to describe it). *Bringing water, snacks, and layers for all the microclimates is the way to go. Please check the forecast and look out for updates if it is going to be rainy. We may go ahead, depending on the conditions.* *These roams are offered by donation. They are one way I am able to pay my rent in San Francisco.* *Punctuality is always appreciated, for the sake of everybody's time. Please send a message on the app before the start if you are running late, and we will either wait (up to ten minutes) or I will direct you on how to catch up. Once we get underway I have to focus on those who are there, and most likely won't respond.* *Generally half the people who sign up don't actually show up on the day.
