Hike Leader(s): Heather Murch Click here to contact Hike Leader(s)
Pace: Brisk – 4 to 5 km/hour
Terrain: Moderate – some hills and/or some poor footing
Distance: 21.1 km
Description

Hikes are co-led by Heather Murch (Caledon Hills) & Steven White (Iroquoia)
This is an opportunity to achieve a Sydenham E2E, donate to the Bruce Trail and earn a beautiful ‘stained glass’ badge.
We are a group of friends who are hiking Cairn to Cairn starting after Labour Day and finishing before Christmas. We’ve decided this year to hike right through Club Boundaries. It helps us to maintain a more consistent number of km’s for each hike and it reduces the complexity of having to end at a certain spot (Club Boundary); which quite often don’t have parking right there.
So, the schedule is a bit odd; but you are welcome to join us for the Sydenham section.
We will generally be starting 10.7km in from the north end of Sydenham finishing those km’s a few weeks later as part of a hike through the trail-south boundary of the Peninsula Club (Wiarton). Study the calendar carefully as you won’t see an obvious pattern to the dates selected.

COVID-19 Precautions Before, During and After your Hike
1. Each hiker joining a Bruce Trail Club organized hike must perform a self-screening check before hiking.
  Find Ontario’s self-assessment tool here: https://covid-19.ontario.ca/self-assessment/
2. If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, stay home.
3. Personal Protective Equipment:
  - Hikers may choose to wear masks
Transportation
It is the Bruce Trail Conservancy’s current policy that car shuttles are allowed. It is at the discrepancy of individual hike leaders to make that decision.
Other Guidelines
1. Arrive 15 minutes before the start of the hike.
2. Wear sturdy footwear and appropriate attire for the weather and the terrain.
  Hiking poles are a good idea in any season, especially if the terrain is rocky or slippery. In winter, snowshoes or icers/crampons are needed when conditions dictate.
  Wearing appropriate clothing and footwear prevents injuries and shows consideration for a safe and positive group hiking experience.
3. Always carry I.D. and your health card.
4. Bring sufficient water and snacks (or lunch if indicated). A minimum of 1L of water is recommended on all hikes, and 3L is recommended for long, challenging hikes in the heat of the summer.
5. Bring sunscreen and insect repellent (for spring and summer hikes).
6. Bring your own first aid kit.
7. Please leave dogs at home.
