Itinerary:

This section of the Bruce follows the Niagara escarpment from Snake Rd in Waterdown, west past Spencer Gorge, to Governer's Rd in Dundas, a distance of around 21 km.

The hike shouldn't be too technically challenging, but we'll keep it moving at a steady pace of around 4km an hour. It's likely to be muddy, possibly snowy under foot, so good footwear is a must.

This will be a one-way hike involving car shuttles between the start and end points, so bring something warm to wear while waiting for the drivers to retrieve the cars at the end of the day. After the hike, we'll remove ourselves to Donnelly's Pub just down the road from our end point for a pint and a bite to eat.

This event is for intermediate to experienced hikers who are comfortable maintaining the pace for several hours. Please don't sign up if you are a beginner or a slower hiker. Previous TOC or equivalent experience at this difficulty level is a pre-requisite.
