Hi. I’m David. Over the years, I’ve led many hikes all across Ontario. Welcome to my new project – Stained Glass badges for all Bruce Trail sections from Niagara to Peninsula. The project is a 3 year one. This fall the sections to be completed are Blue Mountains, Dufferin and Caledon. First up – Blue Mountains. Those interested are welcome to join for particular sections or the whole series. These are fundraiser hikes and participants are required to register separately for each section when it appears on the BTC hike schedule website and pay the registration fee. The fee for the Blue Mountains section is $30 for BTC members and $40 for non BTC members.These hikes will be at a moderate pace (4 km per hr not including lunch break) and will proceed rain or shine. There will be a lunch break around midday (approx 30 min) as well as breaks throughout the day as appropriate. Except for the shuttles, participants are expected to be self reliant. Please bring plenty of water, lunch, snacks, appropriate clothing and footwear, personal medical kit and anything else you may need.
I do not have a current first aid certification and there is no guarantee there will be anyone on the hikes with such. In addition to the waiver in favour of the BTC participants are required to sign at registration, they will also be required to sign a similar waiver in favour of myself at the start of each hike (I’m just a volunteer at this).
Each hike will involve a shuttle and everyone will be expected to do their share of the shuttle driving. Shuttle drivers should not expect compensation for doing shuttles. Shuttle drivers will be selected by the hike leader at the start of each hike.
The hike schedule is attached below. If there are any questions, please let me know.
