Timothy	Advani	Roselle	NJ	Do it one hour later. Other than that, I thank you for hosting the event. It was an unforgettable experience and a great challenge. At the end my legs got a good workout but I am content with the hike and I would love to do the hike again, this time with the group.	None at the current moment.
Teresa	Akersten	Caldwell	NJ		Obviously everyone walks at their own pace but would be nice to stay in a group. Maybe share good "walking manners" - if someone needs a bathroom break or water break, people should wait a few minutes with them? Otherwise there's just no way to catch up and then you end up alone. Does this make sense?
Divina	Arpino	Boonton Twp	NJ		Electronic map route (to take along on smartphones)
Adriane	Berg	lebanon	NJ	I made it so far this time-was very inspired	perhaps a rest in Riverside park at a park scheduled event there are brief concerts etc all over the park
Ana	Della Sala	Plainfield	NJ	It was very challenging, perhaps more than I was prepared for but I’m glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and gave it my all. The views were certainly worth it.	I thought it would be more of a group walk. I was a newbie so I started out with the group but somewhere along mile 8 there was a group ahead of me and another group way behind. I felt I maintained a decent 16 mph pace yet I found myself alone many times. The maps were a great help, I guess I didn’t know it would be a self-guided walk.
Loredana	Delucchi	New York	NY	An great walk along miles of great views
Jackie	Dockery	Belle Mead	NJ	The views were phenomenal and great opportunities for pictures
David	Eilbacher	Hillsborough	NJ	It was such a beautiful day and skyline that I walked 10 miles more than planned. Thanks for a great day!
Edward	Eilbacher	Hillsborough	NJ	Would have loved to walk more and with family but knees don't agree
Marc	Elfenbein	Bloomfield	NJ	Walking over the Washington Bridge was an exciting experience. The feeling of danger do to its high and the view was wonderful.
Anne	Fimia	Morristown	NJ	I enjoyed the tips such as looking for the parrots, taking the detour and seeing the secluded houses	No
Judi	Fox	Aberdeen	NJ		I think the start time should be the same for all. Not two time slots. Everybody is so anxious to move along and it leaves some good company behind due to the start times.
Philip	Grossman	New York	NY	brisk walkers were the vast majority of the participants in this event
Alice	Habinak	Glen Gardner	NJ	This was my first walk! I enjoyed it and am excited to do more in the future
Brian	Hodge	Hillsborough	NJ	Beautiful day and beautiful sights. Loved it!	I hiked with two that I came with but rarely saw others. It might have been nice to have some support along the way. I thought there was to be some at the GWB
Brian	Hodge	Stewartsville	NJ	Great weather really helped
Viraj	Kamatmhamai	Summit	NJ	Beautiful weather and everyone I spoke with was very nice	Everyone finishes at different times. One of the walkers I was with suggested that there be one person at the end to maybe acknowledge us.
Preet	Kaur	Jersey city	NJ	It was really awesome!!
Paul	Kiczek	Morristown	NJ	This is my 3rd year and I still consider this my favorite walking event. Great turnout, weather was perfect, great group of people and outstanding views and interesting places all along the walk.	Would be great to have some support at or near the GWB.
Tom	Laresch	Princeton Jct.	NJ	It was great. The weather was perfect, and obviously the date worked for us. Note we did find street parking in Jersey City, so we saved a few dollars there!	Open the pedestrian walk on the north side of the GWB :-)! Finish the waterfront construction :-)! Sorry, no real suggestions. I enjoyed it as it was. Thanks so much - it was a great lifetime experience.
Dianne	Lavelle	Chatham	NJ	It was fun to see new interesting places.	hmmm... I'd like it to be cloudier in the afternoon when it got hot. ha ha just kidding. The walk was perfect!
Yon	Lee	Brooklyn	NY	it was great to see my fellow walkers and see some old faces as well as new faces.	the end point has to be a place where it is not so crowded. it was a noisy bar where the back room had a painting event and the bar stools were filled with customers. there was really no place to sit down or talk comfortably after the event.
gennie	mayo	Union	NJ	no issues I fould it good although I though the walk itself would be a group event	Guidance along the walk route would be great I felt at times I was not on the proper trail
Jaclyn	Mina	Staten Island	NY	It was a wonderful walk. I got to meet so many people. Surrounded by very friendly people.
Maureen	Moynihan	edison	NJ	Free walkers gives me an opportunity to challenge myself at my own pace.	Any way around the steep hill just below the gw bridge on the jersey size?
Risa	olinsky	Maplewood	NJ	The walk was just perfect.	Think maybe a different restaurant to end up at - the pub in NYC is small for a sizable group, Was nice to go back to JC and hang out - but if NYer's are there I guess that would exclude them
ron	palochko	Piscataway	NJ	Always a memorable experience and no matter how bad it hurts sometime and no matter how many times I tell myself I'm nuts for doing this, i can't wait for the next time!!!!
Robert	Quinlan	Lebanon	NJ	This was a perfect walk- physically challenging yet pleasant due to the company of other people sharing the experience.	I like the idea of eating at a restaurant near the starting point (Jersey City), after the event; found this more pleasant than trying to eat in Manhattan on a Saturday evening- less crowded, better service, etc. Perhaps this is something to put to a vote in the future?
Roberto	Romero	Bayonne	NJ	The walk and the support were great. The friendliness and support of others makes the walk a great experience for returning walkers and new comers.	I think that a second step off after lunch at Edgewater would work out nicely. Having some words of encouragement, reminders and stepping off all together for the second half would give everyone a great feeling of Unity, in my opinion.
Renee	Scott	Piscataway	NJ	Great walking partners!!
Ilene	Silver	New York	NY		Could not have been better!
Maurice	Tehan	brooklyn	NY		Alternate directions each year. Start at WTC-NYC alternate years. One reason is that it is "downhill from" GWB to Xchange
Gale	Waibel	Silver Spring	MD	We had a great time. Weather was spectacular! We recognized a couple of walkers from last year's Jersey Shore Walk. Had a wonderful lunch at Panera. Took a photo with a group of walkers we didn't know after they called us over. Really appreciated that gesture and our group photo turned out great! Ferry ride back was wild - the captain drove like he was in a speed boat!	We thought there would be some type of refreshment at the GW Bridge but didn't see anyone except other walkers. It would have been great to have someone there since it was a halfway point.
Klaus	Waibel	Silver Spring	MD		Better directions in regard to access to the waterfront. Got to a dead end several times and had to backtrack.
Albert	Walker	Livingston	NJ	An excellent day.
