Itinerary:

From the Toronto Hiking website:

The trail begins 1.6 km north of the village of Primrose which is located at the intersection of Highway 10 and Highway 89 on 1st Line WHS. 1st Line WHS continues on north at the stoplights when Highway 10 turns left towards Shelburne. Just past a bridge over the Boyne River, there is a small parking lot on your right. This loop hike involves walking about three-quarters of a kilometre along the busy Highway 89. This is the only negative to the hike. The main attractions more than make up for this: Murphy's Pinnacle -a grassy hill providing a great view of the surrounding countryside; and the outstanding narrow verdant valley of the Boyne River.

If the Toronto Hiking site says that the trail is 'difficult' to follow you know this should be fun to find our way. Always an adventure but you know the scenery will be spectacular as usual. Part of the Bruce Trail system and close to Mono Cliffs and tthe Hockley Valley it is a popular hiking destination.

All participants must be capable of hiking this distance at a minimum pace of 4k/hour. There will be no dropouts.
