Calling all families with children who love hiking and earning badges!!!This is the eighth in a series of ten hikes that will be offered throughout 2024 on a roughly monthly basis so that children who are 15 years of age and younger can earn the Dufferin Hi-Land Adventurer Youth Badge and their parents/guardians can earn the Dufferin Hi-Land Side Trails Badge at the same time!!! Details regarding the requirements for each badge can be found here: https://dufferinbrucetrailclub.org/dufferin-bruce-trail-club-badges/ Each of the ten hikes will be a loop hike so no car shuttles will be needed, and each hike will cover a distance of approximately 6-9 km hiked at a leisurely pace (2-3 km/h) so children and adults alike can participate.
This eighth hike will be a summer hike to explore the following four side trails: 2nd Line ECL, part of the Oliver Creek ST, the Boyne Creek ST, and the Mulmur Lookout ST. Please dress appropriately for a summer hike by dressing in lightweight and breathable clothing, wearing a sunhat, and wearing comfortable footwear that has good traction. It is also advised that you bring sunscreen, bug spray, a light sweater, and suitable rain apparel in case conditions require their use. As well, make sure you bring enough water and food for a 3-4 hour hike since we’ll be covering a total distance of approximately 7.4 km.
Hopefully you’ll be able to join me on Sunday, August 25th! Until then, happy hiking, everyone!
