Saturday
Goal: To hike the next 44.6km of the Sydenham section of the Bruce Trail. The Sydenham section is a total of 168.4km in length.
This is the 19th Bruce Trail hike in this series of BT events. The total distance of the Sydenham section is 168.4km long and we will be hiking the next 44.6km of it to continue with this section of the Bruce Trail.
We plan on doing about 2 hikes a year in order to complete my goal of finishing the entire Bruce Trail on my 50th birthday (last hike will be a Thursday in August, 2017).
If you can't make the entire hike, maybe join us for part of it. 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 29.7km mark (Edition 27 of Bruce Trail guide) of the Sydenham section of the Bruce Trail which is where the trail enters Bognor Marsh off of County Rd 18 (N44 32.301 W80 46.909). We plan to start hiking shortly after meeting up at the start.
Destination is the 74.3km mark (Edition 27 of Bruce Trail guide) of the Sydenham section of the Bruce Trail which is where the main trail meets the Pines Side Trail (N44 35.285 W80 51.853). You can then follow the Pines Side Trail about 100m to the road where there is roadside parking.
Parking: Beginning: Parking lot at the entrance to Bognor Marsh off of County Rd 18 at the start point of the hike. End: Roadside parking on the west side of 8th Concession N at the entrance to Pines Side Trail.
Hopefully some people will park at the end and carpool back to the starting point both before and after the hike. I plan on parking at the end point so I will need a ride to the beginning before the hike. It's about a 10 minute drive from the end point to the start point.
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.
Badges: Those of us that complete this hike along with the other hikes in the Sydenham section will qualify for the Sydenham End To End badge for hiking the entire Sydenham Section of the Bruce Trail. For more information and to obtain a badge, see this Sydenham Bruce Trail Club link.
