Description
Join us for a free introductory bus hike in and around Limehouse Conservation Area on the Bruce Trail just under an hour from Toronto (see terms below). Included will be the portion of trail just opened this year by the club taking 900 metres of trail off of Fith Line, the seed orchard created by the Bruce Trail Conservancy and TBTC just north of Limehouse, the limestone kilns, the stone arched bridge, and the "Hole In The Wall" in Limehouse Conservation Area. There will be a stop for refreshment and fellowship with other hikers and your hike leaders before returning to Toronto. Current members are asked to allow priorty to our non/new members by waiting until the week before to register but are certainly welcome/encourged to bring a non-member friend.
As this hike is being offered in conjunction with our Bruce Trail Day and Hiking 101 Workshop events at Toronto's Evergreen Brickworks on Oct 4th and 5th this bus hike will be offered free of charge to participants with the support of the Bruce Trail Conservancy and grant for a sponsor. The Bus Fare will be collected upon registration as a deposit. You will be refunded the bus fare as long as you show up on the date to claim your spot. No Shows will forfeit the bus fare and the money donated to the Bruce Trail Conservancy.
