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.
