Itinerary:

We'll drive up to the Bruce Peninsula on Friday, stopping for dinner along the way, and return to Toronto on Sunday evening.

Satrurday's hike will be about 30 km in the Sydenham section including Skinner's Bluff and the Bruce Caves. Sunday's hike will be an approximately 18km loop in the Peninsula Section passing by Rush Cove and and Jackson's Cove with gorgeous views of Georgian Bay.

The hikes will go at a brisk pace over sometimes challenging terrain, D5 level experience is required.

I've reserved four rooms at Long Lane B&B near Wiarton, a lovely century home located on 104 acres, peaceful, tranquil on the Bruce Trail at Skinner's Bluff. Full breakfast with home baking. We should be able to accommodate additional participants staying at another B&B in the area.

On Saturday evening we'll all have dinner at Long Lane (Long Line would like us to agree on one entree selection, rather than everyone choosing a different one, I'm going to suggest the fresh Georgian Bay whitefish.) Long Lane is not licensed, but everyone is welcome to bring wine or beer to have with dinner.

Preference on the wait list will be given to drivers, D5 level hikers, and members with favourable attendance records. Please do not sign up unless you are sure that you will be able to go.

Hiking boots
