Itinerary:

It's an early start to take advantage of the cool morning air. Please arrive 15 min before carpool departure time so that we can be on the road on time. Don't sign up if you need to be back home by specific time.

BRING EXTRA WATER for hiking during daytime heat. Route may be shortened if a very hot day is forecasted.

HIKE DETAILS: . We will hike the main Bruce Trail from Guelph Line though Mount Nemo to Crawford Forestry Tract. Distance is 20 km. Please note that about 2/3 of the trail will be along the various roads. The road sections are broken up with a number of off-road sections, which hopefully allow us some shade and shelter from the heat. This also means that you will be exposed to the sun/heat for much of the route.

The hiking pace will be approximately 4.0 km per hour, but hopefully we can hike a bit faster along the road sections as conditions permit. We will take frequent water breaks.

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.

Please ensure you can hike the distance over the uneven, rocky and steep hilly terrain, and at the specified pace BEFORE you sign up.

This is a linear hike involving a car shuttle. Hike will be modified or postponed if not enough drivers sign up. Also, additional participants will be added as space in carpool and car shuttle permits. Carpool drivers may be added preferentially to the attendee list. Max number 12 to 15 people

If you're travelling by TTC to the carpool location, you're responsible for taking into consideration the TTC schedule, any service disruptions, etc in order to arrive on time.
