Description

Occasionally hikes are offered off the Iroquoia Bruce Trail Club to engage members and non-members  who live in other parts of the province. This is one such hike.

This hike is offered as a postponement of a previous hike which had to be cancelled. It is a group hike with a car shuttle. Please be prepared to participate in the shuttle by ensuring you have 4 available seatbelts, including the driver’s.  Please bring enough food and water for an 18km hike, including lunch as well as bug spray, sunscreen, first aid and appropriate clothing for possible wet weather. I will try to ensure that the badges will be available on completion with proceeds going to the Ganaraska Hiking Club. Please bring $7 exact change for the badge. Depending on the terrain, we will hike at a fairly steady, quick pace. Please ensure you are physically able for the distance and the pace before signing up for this hike. There are no dropouts – if you cannot complete the hike, you will be responsible for your own way back and expense to your car. The terrain is varied – trail and asphalt.

Earn the new Redside Dace End-to-End badge in three hikes. This series follows the Club’s Fall Colour’s E2E plan, with a couple of distance modifications. The hikes provide an opportunity to audit and prepare the Trail before the Thanksgiving event. Bring gardening pruners if you have them. Periodically, the group will quickly trim back overgrown vegetation. Pack sufficient water and snacks to boost your energy.
