Itinerary:

We will trek through the Bennett Heritage Trail, parts of Bruce rail and Great Esker Side Trail. It is a loop of approximately 13km. There aren’t any steep climbs but quite a bit of walking up and down hills with over a half dozen stiles (fence ladders) to climb over. There is some rough footing in areas of numerous limestone rocks, so hiking boots are mandatory. We will be moving at a steady pace of 3.5-4km, so we can get back in time for any evening celebration.

Important: TTC will operate on Sunday Schedule, train will start running at 9:00am. Depending where you are coming from you will need to take the Night Bus. We will be LEAVING Kipling at 10am sharp
