We will hike a distance of around 23km. Views to our right, of the Bighead River Valley and out across Georgian Bay, should be spectacular. We'll be hiking through beech forest, cedar bush, and through open meadows, stopping somewhere around the half-way mark for lunch.

NOTES:

Previous D5 hike experience or at least 3 D4 hikes with me in the past two years is required. If you have no TOC D4 or D5 hike events, indicate what 20+ km hikes you have completed in the past two years in the notes when you sign up - waiting list priority will be given to members who provide this information!
Each hike will include an end-to-end car shuttle so there will be no opportunity for drop-outs. You must be able to hike for around 6 hours, for a distance of around 23km, at a pace of between 4.5 and 5 kph
