Itinerary:

This is an "all day event" with an early start due to shorter daylight period. We hope to be back at carpool location by early evening, but don't sign up to this event, if you need to be back home by a definite time.

We will begin our hike at Limehouse Conservation Area and hike towards Scotsdale Farm. Along the way we will come down the Hole in The Wall at Limehouse Conservation and visit Duff Pit. I always wanted to do hike the Duff Pit Side Trail and so here's my chance. The 4 km round trip Duff Pit side trail will take us past the western branch of Silver Creek where there is a small waterfall, the pond and dam of the reservoir. We will find a place on route to have lunch.

The plan is to enjoy the remnants of the fall colours and the rustling of falling leaves under our feet, while filling our lungs with crisp, clean autumn air. 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.

The trails may be muddy/wet and slippery. Make sure you have proper foot ware and dress for the weather. This is also time for possible snow/ice - so in that case, please make sure you have ices in your pack to help with traction.

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

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. Bring a flashlight or headlamp in case it begins to get dark.

The event involves a car shuttle. Those who are willing to drive will be moved preferentially off the waiting list. The event may be cancelled if there are not enough drivers signed up, or alternative plan be proposed. More participants will be added if there are enough drivers. There is a donation for parking at Limehouse where the costs will be added and shared through carpool expenses.
