Itinerary: | |||||||
It's an early start to take advantage of the cool morning air. Please arrive 15 min before carpool departure time so that we can be on the road on time. Don't sign up if you need to be back home by specific time. BRING EXTRA WATER for hiking during daytime heat. Route may be shortened if a very hot day is forecasted. HIKE DETAILS: . We will hike the North end of the Caledon Section of the Bruce Trail, through the Hockley Valley and on the other hilly sections to a total of 16 km or so. THIS IS VERY HILLY ROUTE. If you don't have relevant D4 hiking experience with Toronto Outdoor Club, you should proactively provide me with examples of your recent hiking experience within the Comments section when you sign up, or send me Email. If I don't have this info, I will move you to or keep you on, the waiting list, until this info is provided. The hiking pace will be on average about 3.5 to 4.0 km per hour. We will hike as a group, and thus, wait as necessary for everyone, If you think you'll have uncontrollable urges to be constantly on the move or to sprint ahead, this is NOT an event for you. Speedsters will be put at the back of the line. Please ensure you can hike the distance over the uneven, rocky and steep hilly terrain, and at the specified pace BEFORE you sign up. This is a linear hike involving a car shuttle. Hike will be modified or postponed if not enough drivers sign up. Also, additional participants will be added as space in carpool and car shuttle permits. Carpool drivers may be added preferentially to the attendee list. Max number 12 to 15 people If you're travelling by TTC to the carpool location, you're responsible for taking into consideration the TTC schedule, any service disruptions, etc in order to arrive on time. | |||||||
