Itinerary:

This hike will be a 12.5-13k loop on the main Bruce Trail, incorporating the Speyside, Vanderleck, and Hilton Falls Side Trails. We will pass by look outs off the escarpment to the Scotch Block Reservoir below. This will be a medium paced hike (about 4km/hr), but it will be going at roughly the pace of the slowest hiker.

Please be prepared for the weather with layers. Participants will need to bring water and a lunch.

You should always have a pair of icers in your pack. You won't have to use them very often, but when it is icy on the trail, you'll need them. The icer is held to your boot with a set of Velcro straps, and keeps you from slipping and sliding. You can purchase good quality icers at MEC or Lee Valley Tools.

NOTE! The coordinator may bring her dogs on this event. If you would like to bring your own dog, you MUST speak to the coordinator ahead of time to do so.

Drivers - please indicate in the sign-up notes whether you have winter tires and/or roadside assistance.
