Itinerary:

Come and explore the Limehouse to Speyside section of the Bruce Trail. We'll begin at Limehouse Conservation Area where we'll descend Hole in the Wall - two ladders that descend into a fissure in the Niagara Escarpment. From there we'll hike past an old mill and lime kiln, beside farmers fields, along rocky ridges, through mixed forest, and on an old logging road as we head south to Speyside, and back north to Limehouse. There are plenty of side trails to add some variety to the hike.

We'll aim to get all the way to Speyside and back for 20km total. We'll be travelling at a comfortable and constant pace. The terrain is undulating, but there are no really big hills

Please be prepared for less than ideal conditions - the weather is calling for rain/snow and we'll be travelling over some rocky areas that may be slippery
