Description

This is a six-day group hike on six consecutive Wednesdays, from November 11 to December 16, 2026. We walk the Bruce Trail northbound from Beamer Falls in Grimsby to Kelso Conservation Area in Milton, about 123 km in total, with days of 18 to 25 km.

Meeting, shuttle, and pace. We meet at 8:00 am at the finish point for the day, leave a set of cars there, and shuttle together to the starting point. From there we hike back to the meeting spot. Hikers must be willing to drive or ride in the shuttle, and cars should be ready for carpooling. We keep a moderate pace of 3 to 4 km per hour with short breaks. Most days finish between 2:00 and 4:00 pm, depending on pace and trail conditions. Sunset falls between about 4:40 and 5:00 pm during the series, so please carry a headlamp.

Dropouts. There are no planned dropout points along the route. A hiker who needs to leave the trail early is responsible for arranging their own transportation.

Late fall clothing and equipment

• Moisture-wicking base layer, since cotton holds moisture and chills quickly.
• Insulating mid layer, such as fleece or wool.
• Waterproof, windproof outer shell, with rain pants if the forecast is wet.
• Waterproof hiking boots with good tread, and wool socks with a spare pair in your pack.
• Warm hat, gloves, and a neck warmer, plus a spare pair of gloves.
• Trekking poles for slippery descents.
• Microspikes or traction aids from late November onward, in case of ice.
• Headlamp with fresh batteries.
• At least 2 litres of water and enough food for the full day.
• Insulated bottle with a hot drink.
• Small first aid kit and a whistle.
• Fully charged phone with the trail map downloaded offline, and a power bank, since cold drains batteries quickly.
• Dry spare layer kept in a waterproof bag.
• Check the forecast the night before, and expect it to feel colder than the number shows.

Description

This is a progressive rucking series – starting off slow and building as you are able. I will be starting with a village street route as you learn the subtle skills of rucking and progressing from there to close by main and side hiking trails of the Bruce Trail.

Information covered over the 4 weeks will include: the uses of rucking, its health benefits, proper posture and “stability” when rucking and tips on how to safely progress your rucking.

Prerequisite of participants: Please sign up for this fun and encouraging rucking series ONLY IF: 1) YOU CAN MAKE ALL 4 WEEKS OF THE SERIES 2) You have (or can borrow) a backpack with both a hip (padded is recommended) and chest strap. A cover for your pack is optional but recommended for wet conditions; 3) you walk or hike 6km+ regularly (2-3 times a week) and can maintain a moderate pace (3-4km/hr); and, 4) you have NO unresolved joint issues (especially hip, knee, ankle and feet joints).

What to Bring: your backpack ;), water and a snack. Please dress according to the weather (layers are best). Proper icers must accompany you each week (please contact me if you do not know what this means). Note: wearing a backpack (especially with weight) will keep you warmer than without. I will be contacting you closer to the first week with information about how to prepare you backpacks.

This series will run RAIN OR SHINE…. OR SNOW. Extreme weather will always be taken into consideration.

The continuation and expansion of this series will be dependent on its success. We have had a great turnout for last 3 Beginner Series. Always feel free to join me again as there is a lot of information to take-in/implement the first time around and the Fall definitely can throw some weather at you that can help take your rucking to that next level. Hope to see you there!

Description

The November Full Moon is the Beaver Moon
And will be a supermoon, the first in a series of three consecutive supermoons (November, December, January). A supermoon occurs when the Moon is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit, called perigee.

Because it’s a supermoon, it may appear slightly larger and brighter than a typical full Moon—up to 8% larger in diameter and 16% brighter. For most casual observers, the difference is subtle, but it’s more noticeable if compared to a micromoon, when the Moon is at its farthest point from Earth. Being near perigee and full, this Moon can also produce slightly higher tides, known as perigean spring tides or king tides, especially along coastlines, though the effect is modest.
Why Is It Called the Beaver Moon?
This is the time of year when beavers begin to take shelter in their lodges, having laid up sufficient food stores for the long winter ahead. During the fur trade in North America, it was also the season to trap beavers for their thick, winter-ready pelts.

Reference: THE OLD FARMER’S ALMANAC

Our Hike Details:
We’ll be walking through DT Oakville to the lake, across Sixteen Mile Creek, down toward Tannery Park, we’ll stop at the Tannery Hill Observation Deck and then down along the lake towards Waterworks Park and the Indigenous gathering circle. We’ll then head back along the lake, through the marina and back over the bridge to our cars. The views of the lake and Moon should be excellent if we get a clear night. We’ll also try to hit as many of the Oakville Stairs. If anyone is interested we can go to the Tim Horton’s for a warm drink afterwards.

We’ll meet at Oakville Parking Lot 11B at 213 Water Street, along the river.
Please plan to arrive by 6:00 pm so we can get everyone registered and head out at 6:15 pm.

• Bring at least 1.5 litres of water and any snacks you need.
• Wear sturdy, comfortable hiking footwear.
