Itinerary:

We will be doing a 12.5-13k loop on the main Bruce Trail, incorporating the Speyside, Vanderleck, and Hilton Falls Side Trails. This will take us past look outs off the escarpment to the Scotch Block Reservoir below.

This is designed to be a SLOW hike for beginners or for members who are getting back into shape after a long time off. I don't mind better hikers on the trip, but you will have to stay with the group at this pace. Please be considerate of others when you sign up - There will be opportunities for more intensive hikes as the date gets closer

End of March means variable weather - cold, snow, rain, wet, sunny, warm - dress in layers! Also, this may be a beginner's hike, but please make sure that you are outfitted appropriately - at least 1 - 2 litres of water, proper hiking shoes or boots, NO JEANS, bring a day pack. If you have any questions, feel free to email me for further information
