Itinerary:
Summer is here, and we will continue our hikes in the Bruce Trail. This time we will start from Limehouse, following the main bruce trail for 21.7km until Terra Cota (Wiston Churchil Blvd).

Notice, that according to the total distance this should be a D5 hike, however it has been ranked as a D4 because our average pace will be 4 Km/h (some times we will be faster, and sometimes we will slow down to take some pictures and enjoy the views)

In some point of the trail, we will have lunch.

This hike will be a one-way, we will do car shuttling between the starting (Limehouse) and ending (Terra Cotta) points.

We are expecting the trails to be muddy, good hiking footwear is mandatory. Bugs will be out, so be prepared

This event is for intermediate to experienced hikers who are comfortable maintaining an average of 4km/h pace for around 6 hours. Please don't sign up if you are a beginner or a slower hiker.

Previous TOC or equivalent experience hiking at this difficulty level is a pre-requisite - no exceptions.

We will try to finish the hiking by 5:30 pm, then we will go to a pub nearby (TBA, suggestions are welcome) for socializing, drink a beer and/or eat something.

There will not be clock-pressure in this event; if you need to be back to Toronto at certain hour, please do not sign-up for this event. We will be in a relaxed no-clock-pressure trip. Do not make plans for the evenning.
