PORTSMOUTH The Portsmouth Connex group along with others have already been busy trying to do things to get up and moving in the area.
This past weekend a group of more than 30 people from the Portsmouth vicinity decided to learn more about the Appalachian Trail. Most of the group is associated with Portsmouth Connex who have been doing a lot of hiking in the community. This was a first for the Boots Off Hostel that the group stayed in and they were super-impressed with a small community that had so many people who were interested in learning more and hiking together.
