Reply to comment by HilariousConsequence in Just did the Great Saunter - wanted to share my experience! by megulikjan

I gotta say, i am not a native speaker and i have never heard of this word! But every time i would google “manhattan perimeter walk” this would come up! So i figured that’s the term :))

Used to bike every weekend for a year. Never heard that term but sure. Why not. I was on a bike though so…

Impressed by all the bikers here. Wish I could do that. Would allow me to explore queens/Brooklyn more.

This specific walk, sponsored by the Shorewalkers organization for over 30 years, is called "The Great Saunter." "Sauntering" is not a term generally used for this kind of activity, which is a challenging urban hike.
