Description
Start the New Year off with the Humpday Hikers. A new bi-monthly series with hikes from 8 - 11 km in length. Option to join the group post hike at a local spot for refreshments and some comraderie.
This hike will be a 9.5 km Scotsdale loop using the Bennett Heritage and Main Bruce Trail. On the Scotsdale Property we will be on the farm lane which passes the heritage buildings and barn. The parking lot and farm lane can be icy in the winter so be sure to have your icers handy. The majority of the hike will be in the forest, at times following the edge of the escarpment with a few ups and downs and rocky sections.
To avoid getting chilled there will be quick stops for water and a shorter nutrition break along the way - bring your favorite hiking drink and snacks.
Dress in layers according to the weather. Hiking boots, and icers / crampons required, poles recommended.
If you can plan to come for a some social time on Georgetown's Main Street, location to be firmed up closer to our hike date.
Participants will be notified the night before if a hike must be cancelled due to inclement weather.
