This is a moderately challenging hike on the Seaton Trail which follows West Duffins Creek, covering sections 1 & 2 from the south end up to Whitevale.

We'll be covering 20 km at a pace of 4.5k/hr - 5.5k/hr.

If you cannot hike the entire distance at this pace, please do not sign up for this hike.

Passengers will be added from the waiting list as drivers become available.

This hike may be muddy in some places, there are rocks and roots on the trail, so hiking boots/hiking shoes are recommended.

There are a few good hills to climb, and participants will be expected to complete the entire distance.

We'll stop for a lunch break about 1/2 way, (after hiking 10km) for about 25 minutes.

Expect the possibility of seeing geese or trout (in the sky and river, respectively).
