Description
This is a special series of 3 hikes (April 20, April 27, and May 4) proceeding northbound to complete the Dufferin Hi-Land section of the Bruce Trail. The organization, guidance, logistics and the Yellow Lady Slipper stained glass badge is included in your fee which is non-refundable. Proceeds support the Dufferin Hi-Land Bruce Trail Club which in turn supports the Bruce Trail Conservancy mission to "Preserving a ribbon of wilderness, for everyone, forever."
The Dufferin Hi-Land in 3 is geared to experienced distance hikers with the expectation of a 3 to 5 km/hr pace maintained over a 17 km to 20 km day. The section is approximately 55 km km so daily distances are based on available parking. No dropout points have been established and therefore hikers who must drop out, will be responsible for their own transportation back to their vehicle. Please note that transportation back to your vehicle is very limited in this section.
This particular set of 3 hikes is intended to be Medium/Brisk. Please be honest about your degree of physical fitness and ability prior to registration. It is a group hike so it is important you are able to keep pace with the person in front of you.
Hikers will be expected to be wearing proper hiking boots and layered clothing with the expectation of cool and possible wet weather. Sufficient food and water for a full day of hiking is required as well as hiking poles (if you use them), and wet weather gear is strongly recommended.
Missing Hikes/Making-up Hike
Since this is a 3-day hike, it is expected that everyone registered will plan to attend all three days.
TRANSPORTATION
Since this is a car shuttle hike, please ensure your vehicle is car shuttle ready. All participants will be expected to take turns either driving to the start or driving the drivers back at the end of the day. Carpooling to our meeting spot with 2 people in the car is generally ok but if more than that, please let the hike leader know.
