Itinerary:

This is a longer, 34 km variant of my Pretty River hike, with all the hills, and some different side trails.

The terrain is as hilly and challenging as it ever was, and longer. There are three big ascents and descents. We'll keep to an invigorating pace of 5km an hour.

This hike is suitable for advanced hikers. Hikers coming on this event are expected to have D5 level experience and be able to maintain a 5 km/hr pace over hilly terrain.

We'll start in the beautiful mature forests of the Nottawasaga Lookout Provincial Nature Reserve, and then visit the Singhampton Crevice Caves, the result of erosion over eons. We'll continue north on the main Bruce trail to a cedar forest and the Pretty River. We'll then complete a loop combining the main trail and four side trails. Along the way we'll pass the highest point on the Bruce trail (540m above sea level). Returning to the main trail, we'll for the most part retrace our steps, taking a short cut to keep the distance to 34 km.
On the way back we'll stop for well-earned refreshments and food.

Those willing to drive and regular D5 hikers will be given preference on the waiting list
