Description
Participants will earn this badge by hiking all 8 hikes in this series. As life sometimes can be interrupted you may need to miss a hike. You can make up two hikes on your own and still qualify for the badge on the final day. Please keep a log of the missed hikes and email it to the hike leader by the last day.
The fee includes the badge and as a fundraiser, also goes towards supporting the Beaver Valley Bruce Trail Club, which in turn supports the mission of the Bruce Trail Conservancy, which is: “Preserving a ribbon of wilderness, for everyone, forever.” Thank you for your support! Please note there are no refunds!
For the time being, registration for the Beaver Valley E2E in 8 will be limited to members of the Bruce Trail Conservancy. Hikers can belong to any section.
This particular set of 8 hikes is intended to be BRISK (4K-5K PER HOUR). Before registering, please be honest with yourself about your ability to complete these approximately 15 km, sometimes rugged, hilly, technical hikes.
All hikes in this series will include a car shuttle and everyone will take a turn as a shuttle driver. Masks will be worn in car shuttles. Ideally we will hike from km 0 to km 119.9 over the series of 8 hikes but as conditions change and parking issues arise we ask that you be flexible with changes in the routes and parking. You will receive an e-mail outlining meeting location and start location for each hike as well as any other information needed closer to the start of the hike event.
We will have a clothing adjustment break, and 2 snack/lunch breaks of 10 min each. Feel free to ask for bio or other needed breaks. Please have your water accessible while hiking. There will be opportunities for quick photos. We recommend having your camera/phone accessible to get those great shots.
Please read the hike guidelines below.
Guidelines
- Arrive 15 minutes before the start of the hike.
- 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. - Always carry I.D. and your health card.
- 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.
- Bring sunscreen and insect repellent (for spring and summer hikes).
- Bring your own first aid kit.
- Please leave dogs at home.
