Event is on
Saturday
Goal: To hike the next 37.9km of the Iroquoia
section of the Bruce Trail. The Iroquoia
section is a total of 120.8km in length.
This is the 10th 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 120.8km long and we will be hiking the
next 37.9km 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 or 3 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 12 hours to
complete, so we should be done around 9:00pm. 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 60.6km mark (Edition 26 of Bruce Trail guide) of the Iroquoia
section of the Bruce Trail by a parking lot at Rock Chapel
Road. We plan to start hiking around 9:15am.
Destination is the 98.5km mark (Edition 26 of Bruce Trail
guide) of the Iroquoia section of the Bruce Trail which is behind
the Kilbride School at Optimist Park (N43° 25.630 W79° 56.203).
Parking: Beginning:
Self pay parking lot at Rock Chapel Nature Sanctuary off Rock
Chapel Road has room for about 30 cars. End: Parking
lot behind the Kilbride School at Optimist Park has room for about
20 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.
