Itinerary:

The terrain is variable. Length is 23 km, pace is 5 km/h (maps 2 and 3)

This hike is suitable for advanced or strong intermediate hikers. It is not suitable for beginners.Hikers coming on this event are expected to have preferably D5 level hiking experience and must be able to maintain a continuous pace of 5 km/h. If it isn't obvious from your TOC record that you can do this hike, please, when registering, include some comments in the notes to convince me that you can keep up.

We will be following a combination of the Main Trail and the Bert Lowe Side Trail to form a 23.1 km loop. We'll pass by canals, lakes, mature woodlots, and Escarpment

Note: If you come on a winter hike, you should always have a pair of icers in your pack. You won't have to use them very often, but when it is icy on the trail, you'll need them. The icer is held to your boot with a set of Velcro straps, and keeps you from slipping and sliding. You can purchase good quality icers at MEC or Lee Valley Tools (very good selection.)

Members willing to drive will get priority on the wait list.
