Pace: Leisurely, Medium
Terrain: Easy
Distance: ~5 km
Description

To use poles? Or not to use poles? That is the question for today’s hike. Join Jason Watkins, Physiotherapist from Peninsula Physiotherapy in Wiarton, for a short lunch and learn talk about the pros and cons of using hiking poles. Are hiking poles different from walking poles? How should I use hiking poles? Ask Jason the questions you have wondered about! Then, we will practise our new learning by hiking on the Bruce Trail along Colpoy’s Bay shore – aiming for Spirit Rock Spiral Staircase – about 5 km out and back- in total. There will be an option for those wishing to climb the staircase to the top of escarpment, while others enjoy the view from the shoreline. Poles are provided by Grey Bruce Health Unit and can be borrowed through PBTC for the duration of the hiking series. If time allows, we will stop at Lost Art Café in Wiarton for coffee before returning to our parked vehicles at the end of the hike. Be prepared for a 2 1/2 hour group hike experience. Portapotties are available at the Municipal Parking Lot.
Donation: Please bring a canned food donation for the local food bank.
Parking: Free Municipal Parking at Bluewater Park (near Dockside Willie’s) – 402 William St., Wiarton.
