Itinerary:

We are going to hike the Bruce Trail inside Mono Cliffs Provincial Park for a distance of about 17km. We will be mainly in the Bruce Trail with some exceptions for accessing Look-up points.

It is not a too technically challenging, but you must prepare to hike over muddy trails and some rocky sections.

We will have and average pace of 4 - 4.5 km. We are going to stop for some pictures and hike faster ( > 4.5Km) to compensate for the "breaks" time. and keep the average pace in range.

We will have lunch around 1:00pm in some point of the trail. Please bring snacks or have a good breakfast.

This event is for intermediate to experienced hikers. Please do not sign-up if you are a beginner or a slower hiker.

Previous TOC or equivalent experience hiking at this difficulty level is a pre-requisite - no exceptions.

If you do not have TOC experience, write it down in the notes field when you sign-up. You will be removed from the list if you do not provide proof of your equivalent experience on the notes field.

We will try to finish the hiking by 5:30 pm, then we will go to a pub nearby (TBA, suggestions are welcome) for socializing, drink a beer and/or eat something.

There will not be clock-pressure in this event; if you need to be back to Toronto at certain hour, please do not sign-up for this event. We will be in a relaxed no-clock-pressure trip. Do not make plans for the evenning.
