Itinerary:
This is an all day event with an early start to take advantage of cooler morning air. We hope to be back at carpool location by late afternoon.

We will begin our hike at Scotsdale Farm and hike the main Bruce Trail towards Silver Creek Conservation. Along the way we will hike the Great Esker Side Trail. We will return to the starting point at Scotsdale via Bennett trail. On route we will find a place to have lunch.

The plan is to enjoy the warm summer day. The hiking pace will be approximately 4 km per hour. I am a SLOW hiker, making frequent stops to take photos :) Please be prepared to respect my style of hiking. Thanks. We will hike as a group, and thus, wait as necessary for everyone, If you think you'll have uncontrollable urges to be constantly on the move or to sprint ahead, this is NOT an event for you. Speedsters will be put at the back of the line.

Please ensure you can hike the distance over the uneven terrain at the specified pace BEFORE you sign up.

If you're travelling by TTC to the carpool location, you're responsible for taking into consideration any service disruptions, etc in order to arrive on time. Also note, we will meet at the Passenger Pick Up location that's off Subway Crescent.

BE PREPARED: We will hike as a group. Again, if you think you may be sprinting ahead... don't sign up! We will be hiking rain or shine. More participants will be added if there are enough drivers.
