Pace: Medium – 3 to 4 km/hr

Distance: 10 Hikes ranging from 11 – 15.5km

Description

Introduction to the Iroquoia End-2-End In Ten Hike Series

This series of 10 hikes will be led by Colleen Mabalay.  This series is intended for people who have never completed a Bruce Trail section E2E before.

This is a special series of 10 hikes with a new accomplishment badge, design TBD. The registration fee includes the new special event badge, however, it will be up to a hiker who has not earned the badge in time to receive it on the last hike to arrange to pick up the badge or have it posted to them.

The fee goes towards supporting the Iroquoia Bruce Trail Club, which in turn supports the mission of the Bruce Trail Conservancy, which is: “Preserving a ribbon of wilderness, for everyone, forever.”

For the time being, registration for the Iroquoia E2E-in-Ten will be limited to members of the Bruce Trail Conservancy.  Hikers can belong to any section.

A maximum of 3 (of the 10) hikes can be self-completed as a result of scheduling challenges, but it is intended that this badge be earned while hiking as part of a group led by a certified hike leader.

We are planning to run this series multiple times in 2022, at various target speeds. This particular set of 10 hikes is intended to be MEDIUM.  Please be honest about your degree of physical fitness prior to registration.

IMPORTANT

Although the 122km Iroquoia Section has been split into 10 hikes to help make it more attainable, please note that for this set of 10 hikes, we are intending on hiking at a 3-4  KM per hour pace.
You must be able to keep up with the group.  Each section will also have varying degrees of difficulty, including some steep climbs in elevation in specific areas. The shortest day is 10.0 km and the longest will be 15.5 km.

Dates have been spread out to allow for long weekends and Hike Leader vacation. If required, the hike schedule will be adjusted for severe weather.

TRANSPORTATION

This series will be through hikes and will require car shuttling, you must be willing to drive or to be a passenger. Some parking locations require paid parking, and hikes that enter Halton Conservation Areas will require reservations.  The fee for the E2E-in-Ten does not cover any parking/entry fees for hikers who are not members of the Halton CA and/or Hamilton CA.  If the group has enough hikers who are members of a CA, those will be the cars chosen to park in those areas so as to minimize costs.  At least one hike starts at one CA and ends at another, so parking fees are unavoidable for non-CA members.

OTHER GUIDELINES

  1. Arrive 15 minutes before the start of the hike
  2. Please ensure you dress for forecasted weather and the terrain
  3. Wear sturdy footwear – hiking boots are strongly recommended. Standard running shoes are NOT recommended.  A fresh pair of socks is a delight halfway through a hike
  4. Hiking poles or a walking stick are optional but recommended
  5. Always carry I.D. and your health card
  6. Bring sufficient water and snacks (or lunch if indicated)
    A minimum of 1L of water is recommended on all hikes, and 3L is recommended for long, challenging hikes in the heat of the summer
  7. Bring sunscreen and insect repellent.  A hat is also highly recommended
  8. Bring your own first aid kit
  9. Masks are to be worn in vehicles
  10. Please leave dogs at home
  11. Current guidelines on group hiking apply: https://brucetrail.org/pages/explore-the-trail/hike-schedule

Each hiker will receive full details on our routes, including where to meet and where we will shuttle to start our hike, closer to the start date.

Happy Hiking.
