each other safe during the

EVENT DETAILS
So, this is my first time leading this
particular route with the TOC. However,
I've led
it once with my friends and completed a
longer
version, 6 times previously.
Please bring a lunch and at
least 1-2 Litres
of water. We will stop for lunch at the
trail
centre, located about halfway through the
hike.
EVENT STATS
Distance: 10 KM
Terrain: Gravel roads, wide dirt paths
and
some single trail trails
Trail vs Road: 8 vs 2
Elevation Range: 75 Meters
Challenging Climbs of Note: 3 climbs
of at
least 50 meters with another 2 of at least
25
meters.
Largest Ascent: 50 m
Washrooms: Yes, located at the trail
centre.
Highlights: 2 Waterfalls, probably
frozen this
time of the year.
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 from Amazon'.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE WON'T BE A
CARPOOL
FOR
THIS HIKE DUE TO CURRENT TOC COVID-19

CLOSEST POTENTIAL WASHROOM
If you exit the 403 at exit 70,
turning left
