Itinerary:

The terrain is variable with hilly sections. Length of hike is 30 km, pace 6+ km/h.

This is a challenging "in and out" hike intended to give advanced hikers a good workout. Hikers coming on this event are expected to have D5 level experience and be able to hike 6+ km/h continuously over variable terrain.. There will be no dropouts. Only those who meet the criteria will be allowed on the event.

The Humber Heritage Valley Trail is an interesting little trail that runs through part of the Humber Valley. We will be going through forests, fields and wetlands.

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

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

Water (two litres)
