Shoshie Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Anyone? I live just northeast of UW and would love a gym/hiking/open water swimming buddy!

Raincloak Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Well, what do you know ... I need one too. I live south of Seattle, but I may be moving soon.How about a little info first, though? I might not be the sidekick for you. For instance, I only do open-water swims on a semiannual basis. I would love to go hiking, but I hope you have a car to get to the trail, because I do not have one. I'm experimenting with weights now and interested in trying yoga, but I'm not a good running partner.And I'd like to know how hardcore you are when it comes to workouts ... on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being "couch potato" and 10 being "never ever misses a workout"?Even if we can't go swimming together, I would like to find a hiking buddy. I'm up for any day hikes of 8 miles or less, if you're interested. Quote Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. Hylian Assassin 5'5", 143 lbs. Half-marathon: 3:02It is pitch dark.

EightDigit Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Seattle here as well, but due to my bizarre work hours I'm likely not the droid you're looking for.

Raincloak Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 So ... no sidekick then? Quote Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. Hylian Assassin 5'5", 143 lbs. Half-marathon: 3:02It is pitch dark. You are likely to be eaten by a grue. Link to comment
Shoshie Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Bah, I suck. I've been having a much busier summer than I'd hoped for, and I haven't had so much time for sidekick seeking. Raincloak- touch base again in the fall?

Jcannon98188 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I am down in Lacey/OLY but would love to do something sometime with some fellow rebels. Quote Link to comment
vamessedup Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I'm in Seattle as well. I go out hiking minimum of twice a month and try to bike whenever I don't feel too lazy. The nice weather has been keeping me out of the gym, but I could definitely stand to spend more time there.

burnmybread Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I'm not sure if this is too late or anything (I'm not quite sure what the etiquette is for sidekicking?) but I live in the UW area of Seattle and if you still want a hiking buddy (or buddies! I'm totally up for a group thing), I'd be interested! I'm kind of newbie at hiking in general, but I like it a lot. Quote Link to comment
Raincloak Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Well, it's getting late in the season, but the weather should stay nice for the next few weeks. Do you have a car, and what mileage are you interested in? Quote Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. Hylian Assassin 5'5", 143 lbs. Half-marathon: 3:02It is pitch dark.

vamessedup Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Late in the season? I've been out hiking every month this year. I actually prefer winter hiking, as long as the snow's not too deep...Went up Bandera today, it was hot as hell!

Raincloak Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Well, let's assume for the sake of argument that I will not hike in snow, and I prefer not to hike in rain (when possible). My gear budget and tolerance for misery are limited, so I'd rather go when the weather is nice. Quote Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. Hylian Assassin 5'5", 143 lbs.

Psynapse Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I am currently residing in Tacoma, but I just got a job in Woodinville and will be moving back to Seattle ASAP.

drayz Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 We hiked Twin Falls today. It was nice and cool outside. I am looking forward to fall hiking. I am also in the UWish region.

Jcannon98188 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Ohh hiking. I haven't gone hiking in years. Last hike I went on we climbed to the Lake of Angels in the Olympics. Absolutely beautiful scenery. We should do a NF Meetup/Hike soon! Someone should let me know! Quote Link to comment

My gear budget and tolerance for misery are limited, so I'd rather go when the weather is nice.Snow hiking is not that bad. I used to go on a yearly trip with my church group where we would hike up Paradise, and dig out snow caves and sleep there overnight. Granted, it was miserable, but at the same time it was rediculously awesome. Plus, sledding and playing around once you were done with your cave made it way worth it. (Cave to Cave snowball fights are AWESOME!) Quote Link to comment
Wildfire Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I'm moving to Queen Anne hill shortly. I wouldn't have a car, but I love hiking (even in the snow) and could definitely be up for something like this.

burnmybread Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Late reply is laattteee, haha.Anyways, I don't have a car but as long as there's bus nearby, I can bus there! I'm basically willing to hike as long as it isn't in pouring rain. I haven't tried hiking in snow, but I'm assuming that unless it's not very cold (a.k.a sunny weather to counterbalance the snow, haha), I'd probably pass. Quote Link to comment
vamessedup Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Snow hiking has been fine, I usually start out with a smartwool longsleeve, fleece & rain jacket. Plus hat & gloves, sometimes my smartwool leggings if it's really cold. I always end up being really warm &stay pretty dry, even in the rain. Hike in the woods, the trees shield much of the rain.Anyway, I go out twice a month usually on Friday mornings. Perhaps we should setup an invite-only NF group on meetup.com for organizing local outings. Anyone interested could request an invite here. Just a thought...
