Itinerary:

We'll pick up the Bruce Trail near Duntroon and head up through the Pretty River Valley (BTC Map Ref: 22/23), taking in the Highest Point (540m ASL) on the Bruce Trail. The distance covered will be approximately 16 km. This hike will be typical Bruce Trail, up and down under trees, a short amount of road walking.

Note that we will travel at an average pace of around 4.5 kph, slower going up, faster coming down. It will also involve an end-to-end car shuttle so there can be no drop-outs. Bring an extra jacket or sweater to wear at the end of the day while the drivers retrieve the cars.

Footwear with good foot and ankle support is required; anyone showing up at the carpool without proper footwear will be sent home.

After the hike, we'll head back to my place in Brampton for a relaxing BBQ supper; please indicate in the notes when you sign up if you require a vegetarian option.
