Description

Welcome to Tuesday Trekkers
The goal of this hike is to earn the NEW BEAVER VALLEY ACCOMPLISHMENT BADGE!! WOOT WOOT!!!
The Tuesday Trekkers will achieve this new badge by hiking all 8 Tuesdays in this series. As life sometimes can be interrupted and you need to bail on a hike please don’t stress. You can make up two hikes on your own and still qualify for the badge on the final day. Please keep a log of the missed hikes and get them to me by the last day.
The fee goes towards supporting the Beaver Valley Bruce Trail Club, which in turn supports the mission of the Bruce Trail Conservancy, which is: “Preserving a ribbon of wilderness, for everyone, forever.”
For the time being, registration for the Beaver Valley E2E in 8 will be limited to members of the Bruce Trail Conservancy. Hikers can belong to any section.
Please note there are no refunds!
This particular set of 8 hikes is intended to be BRISK (4K-5K PER HOUR) Please be honest about your degree of physical fitness prior to registration.
All hikes in this series will include a car shuttle and everyone will take a turn as a shuttle driver. Trails will be wet at this time of year so please be prepared with extra socks and gaiters. Experience with hiking 16k/day at a brisk pace (4-5km/hr) is essential. Ideally we will hike from km0 to km119.9 over the series of 8 hikes but as conditions change and parking issues arise I will ask you to be flexible with the routes and trust our judgment. You will receive an e-mail outlining meeting location and start location for each hike as well as any other information needed closer to the start of the hike event.
We will have a clothing adjustment break, and 2 snack/lunch breaks of 10 min each. Please have your water accessible while hiking (water bladder recommended)
There will be plenty of opportunity for photos. I recommend having your camera/phone accessible to get all those great shots.
No dogs!
COVID-19 Precautions Before, During and After your Hike
1. Each hiker joining a Bruce Trail Club organized hike must perform a self-screening check before hiking.
  Find Ontario’s self-assessment tool here: https://covid-19.ontario.ca/self-assessment/
2. If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, stay home.
3. Personal Protective Equipment:
  - Hikers may choose to wear masks
Transportation
It is the Bruce Trail Conservancy’s current policy that car shuttles are allowed. It is at the discrepancy of individual hike leaders to make that decision.
Other Guidelines
1. Arrive 15 minutes before the start of the hike.
2. Wear sturdy footwear and appropriate attire for the weather and the terrain.
  Hiking poles are a good idea in any season, especially if the terrain is rocky or slippery. In winter, snowshoes or icers/crampons are needed when conditions dictate.
  Wearing appropriate clothing and footwear prevents injuries and shows consideration for a safe and positive group hiking experience.
3. Always carry I.D. and your health card.
4. Bring sufficient water and snacks (or lunch if indicated). A minimum of 1L of water is recommended on all hikes, and 3L is recommended for long, challenging hikes in the heat of the summer.
5. Bring sunscreen and insect repellent (for spring and summer hikes).
6. Bring your own first aid kit.
7. Please leave dogs at home.
