Itinerary:

We will hike from Speyside to Limehouse Conservation Area, along the Bruce Trail, have a leisurely pot-luck picnic lunch at the CA, and then hike back to the cars at Speyside, taking in the Black Creek and Vanderleck Side Trails.

The total distance is about 14km, and the walking pace will be around 4kph. While not a long hike, parts of the trail are very rocky and uneven underfoot, so good balance and a sturdy pair of boots are essential.

Please indicate in the notes when you register what you will bring for the pot-luck picnic. Anyone not indicating their contribution will be dropped without notice.

Note: A maximum of two dogs will be permitted on this event and all rules relating to dogs must be observed at all times.

This is a picnic, not a BBQ, so please don't bring anything that requires cooking unless you are also going to carry a stove, fuel and cooking pot.
