THE CARPOOL LEAVES KIPLING STATION (SOUTH PARKING LOT) @ 8:15 AM
Please bring a lunch and at
least 1-2 Litres
of water.
We'll stop for lunch at the new Rockway Conservation Area.
This is my first time leading this particular route, but I've done all the sections at least twice before.
Today's hike will be along the Bruce Trail, some of its side trails and a provincial park trail passing 3 waterfalls.
If you cannot walk the entire distance please do not sign up for this hike.
- EVENT STATS
- Level of hike: Intermediate
- Distance: 18.5 KM
- Terrain: Very, very muddy. Can be icy in sections, but its so muddy, last year it took someone's sole.
- Trail vs Road: 18 km vs 500m
- Elevation Range: 50 Meters
- Challenging Climbs of Note: 7 climbs of at least 25 meters, with 2 of the climbs at least 50 meters.

DRIVERS, WHEN YOU SIGN UP,
PLEASE ANSWER THE CARPOOL QUESTION
REGARDING THE
AMOUNT OF
PASSENGERS YOU CAN TAKE IN YOUR CAR!!!
For those of you choosing to meet at the event location, instead of the carpool, please ensure that you come on time
I’ve set the maximum event count
at 1 as I
don’t want to add anyone to the event
until I have
enough carpool drivers to accommodate
passengers.
I
will try accommodate up to 20
people.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS A SUBWAY CLOSURE ON LINE 1 BETWEEN DAVISVILLE AND LAWRENCE THIS WEEKEND
I usually carry a pair of icers
with me from
the first snowfall of the year until
the end of
April, so I recommend having a pair in
your pack
to deal with any potential ice.
You can find
the pair I use, 'HERE ON AMAZON'.
