Sun, Jul 2 2006 - Cheltenham Badlands (View Original Event Details)
|  |
It was a very hot day for hiking, so this easy afternoon hike was perfect! As usual one of us got lost on the way there - it was my car this time! But we got there eventually and headed out. The first challenge was a Y interesection which was unclear as to which direction to choose - but a little back tracking and we were on our way. The Bruce trail here is very skinny so the first part of the trail made it difficult for socializing, but when we hit the Caledon rail trail the hiking became easy and pleasant. So pleasant that we almost missed our cut off to turn back!
Despite the extremely hot weather conditions everyone remembered to take enough water and sunscreen to make it without overheating or dehydrating. Despite a few deerflies in the first KM or so, the rest of the hike was blissfully bug free. After the hike, Mindy, Jim and I headed over to the Goose for some dinner and a cold pint of beer!
