BT Hike Event - Iroquoia Section: Part 2 Event Cache

Event is on
Easter Friday

Goal: To hike the next 32.1km of the Iroquoia section of the Bruce Trail. The Iroquoia section is a total of 121.7km in length.

This is the 9th Bruce Trail hike in this series of BT events. We plan to continue with the Iroquoia section. The total distance of the Iroquoia section is 121.7km long and we will be hiking the next 32.1km of it to continue with this section of the Bruce Trail.

For future hikes, see the schedule listed at the end of the event listing. We plan on doing about 2 to 4 hikes a year in order to complete my goal of finishing the entire Bruce Trail on my 50th birthday.

I estimate that the entire hike will take about 10 hours to complete, so we should be done around 7:00pm. This is at a moderate 3km\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 9:00am at the posted coordinates, which is the 28.6km mark of the Iroquoia section of the Bruce Trail which is at the top of the Greenhill Avenue Access Trail. We plan to start hiking around 9:15am.

Destination is the 64.5km mark (Edition 25 of Bruce Trail guide) of the Iroquoia section of the Bruce Trail which is by a parking lot at Rock Chapel Road (N43° 17.447 W79° 56.215).

Parking: Beginning: West end of Greenhill Avenue at Cortina Crescent has room for about 10 cars. End: Parking lot at Rock Chapel Nature Sanctuary off Rock Chapel Road has room for about 30 cars.
Hopefully some people will park at the end and carpool back to the starting point both before and after the hike.

What you should bring: Water and other drinks. Food for lunch, dinner and snacks. GPS. Maps. Camera. Cell Phone. First Aid Kit. Advil/Tylenol.
It might be wise to stash some supplies at certain locations of your choice along the trail so that you don't have to carry everything with you.

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 couple of minutes, but our progress will be updated every hour or so. Thanks to northerpenguin for setting this up.
