Up Weetamoo, Hammond, Liberty, bypassing summit on West Side Tr, and down Piper Tr, with side trip to Camp Penacook. Wore knee supports all the way. Wet and foggy after drizzle on and off overnight. Hairy scramble up wet sloping ledge on Liberty Tr and some nasty bit of wet ledge coming down top of Piper - only slid once. Had to take it slowly and very carefully - noone else on the mountain. Getting pretty tired by the end - good thing I skipped down and up the lower Hammond (4 more miles) - have to do that another time. Otherwise this finishes all the trails on Chocorua. It's a pretty nasty mountain! I climbed it twice this hike and never got to the top.

Back home, same route. Really tired at end.

Is this really the right way to prepare for the Billygoat??? I'll either be blazing fast or painfully slow! Oh well, I've got three days to recover.
