Itinerary:

From the St Andrew's Rd area, we'll head north through Glen Haffy Conservation Area, and then across Hwy 9 (BTC Map Ref: 16, 17). The distance covered will be approximately 16 km. There will be steep ascents and descents, and the trail will be snow-covered, so footing may be slippery or heavy at times. We'll pick an out of the wind spot to eat lunch.

Note that this hike will be at a steady pace of around 4.5kph. It will also involve an end-to-end car shuttle so there will be no drop-outs. All participants must be able to hike continuously at the stated pace. Bring a spare fleece or jacket to wear at the end of the day while the drivers retrieve the cars.

At this time of year, it is likely to be slippery - mud, and rain or snow - so hiking boots with good ankle support are required; anyone showing up at the carpool without proper footwear will be sent home.

After the hike, we'll head to The Market Hill Cafe in Mono Mills, for a bite to eat and/or a hot drink.

TOC or equivalent experience at this level is required - if you have not completed any D4 TOC hiking events, please indicate your equivalent experience in the notes when you sign up.
