Description

Hikes are co-led by Heather Murch (Caledon Hills) & Steven White (Iroquoia)

This is an opportunity to achieve a Peninsula E2E badge (Heather) or donate to the Bruce Trail and earn a beautiful Peninsula E2E ‘stained glass’ badge (Steve).

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.
We will generally be hiking the Peninsula section south; starting in Tobermory. We will hike 10.7 km into Sydenham (past Wiarton) on the last day.
You’re welcome to join us for the Peninsula section provided you can keep up to a pace that exceeds 4 km/hour.

Rest of itinerary to be sent the week before our first hike.

Hikers should wear layered clothing, hiking boots, poles, hat, and bring lunch, snacks, water, raingear
