After 2 extremely successful Bruce Trail hikes last year, we
plan to continue where we left off and hike the rest of the Caledon
Hills section. The total distance of the Caledon Hills section is
70.6km long, and we will be hiking the last 31.8km of it to
complete this section of the Bruce Trail.
Future hikes will take place approximately every 6 months, and
will usually be on the last weekend of April and October.
I estimate that the entire hike will take about 8 hours to
complete, so we should be done around 4pm. This is at a moderate
4km\h pace.
If you can't make the entire hike, maybe join us for part of it
atleast. You can always drop out along the way if you feel it's too
difficult or too long.
Meet at 8am at the posted coordinates, which is on
Coolihan Side Rd near Glenn Haffy Rd in Caledon.
Destination
is the 70.6km mark of the Caledon Hills section of the Bruce Trail
which is at the corner of Mono Centre St and 3rd Line East (N44
01.817 W80 03.453)
Parking: There is more
than enough road side parking on Coolihan Side Rd at the start
of the hike. I am currently unsure of the parking situation at
the end of this section. If you know of available parking at
or near the end, please let me know. Hopefully some people
will park at the end and carpool back to the starting point
both before and after the hike.
It might be wise to stash some supplies at a certain location of
your choice along the trail so that you don't have to carry
everything with you.
What you
should bring: Water and other drinks. Food for lunch,
dinner and snacks. GPS. Maps. Camera. Cell Phone. First Aid Kit.
Advil/Tylenol.
Track
our progress as we hike the trail. Don't feel up for the hike, then
join us by watching our progress as we go along. Screen will update
every minute, but our progress will be updated every 15 minutes or
so. Thanks to northerpenguin for setting this up.
