ACCOMMODATION Details have changed from the time of first posting. Please take note. This is because the plan is to hike in the vicinity of Owen Sound. The extra accommodation cost will be offset by saving on carpool expenses and as well in shorter driving times. for eg. time to to hotel is about 2.5 hrs, vs 3 hrs (previously). For those who have already paid the originally stated cost of $126.87, you will need to pay additional $22.60, please bring this amount with you. For any new registrations, the costs have been updated below.

To participate you need to be able to hike the distance both days on hilly and uneven terrain. Road walking may also be involved. Be prepared to hike about 7 hrs each day at average of 3.5 km/h pace. If you never hiked with me before, you need to provide examples of your recent hikes.
Each day involves a car shuttle, so total of 2 cars will be required. No drop outs.
We will travel and check into our weekend (for 2 nights) accommodation in Diamond Motor Inn in Owen Sound. Accommodation includes 2 rooms with 2 beds in each room. Each person will have their own bed, so the limit to this hike is 4 people.
