Solstice Gambol

General

• Part of the annual Summer Festival
• In 2005, the Gambol begins on June 11 at 9am.
• In 2005, the Gambol begins and ends at Alchemy Beach.

• Annual hike/camping trip around the 120-mile perimeter of the city
• described by its participants as "exhilarating and exhausting."

• The route will go down through Catbite this year, then loop around the city through the forests to the north.
• Bring your own camping equipment.
• The spirit is intended to be a Gambol: a casual walk, rather than a competitive event.

• In recent years, as the city has grown in size, some suggest the Gambol be extended to 4 days to make it a more leisurely pace with more time alotted.

• Following the 2005 Spring Gambol was a week-long Beach Carnival at Alchemy Beach, June 13 through June 21.
