Description
If COVID-related regulations permit, we will meet at the carpool location at 7:00 am, then drive to Big Chute. Plan B: We do not carpool and meet at the parking lot location in Big Chute given above.
We will then hike the stunningly beautiful trail along the Lost Channel. After the hike, we will have dinner in Port Severn. This is therefore a full day excursion, starting early and ending after supper.
Hike Leader: Louise Langlais; Email: langlaislouise@gmail.com. Cell: 519-222-4040 on day of hike. At other times, email is the best way to contact me. Wear appropriate quick-dry clothing and hiking boots. Bring sunscreen, insect repellent (summer), icers (winter), snacks, lunch, a personal first aid kit, and 1-2 litres of water. During COVID, also bring hand sanitizer and a face mask. Please email me at least 24 hours before the hike to register. Sometimes last minute changes are made to hikes; registering means you won't be waiting around the meeting place not knowing why no-one else is there! For personalized driving directions, just copy and paste the GPS coordinates into a Google search window and voila! Please arrive at least 15 minutes early. If you are unable to attend, please email me at least 2 hours before the start of the hike, or text me if it is <2 hours before the hike. There is often a waiting list, so the more advance notice the better.
Your first aid kit should include bandaids, sterile gauze pads, a tensor bandage, Sam Splint, moleskin, SteriStrips for lacerations, antiseptic ointment, ASA (for heart attack), ibuprofen, Benadryl, gravol, imodium + personal medications such as nitroglycerin for people with Angina.
