Description
In this “Introduction to Hiking” series of workshops we will share the many joys of hiking. You will learn how to prepare for a hike; safety issues that might be involved, what to bring on the trail, reading the blazes and maps; and the different types of hikes offered by Niagara Bruce Trail Club. Each workshop will include a 20-minute presentation and question-and-answer period, followed by a 1.5hr hike. Wear sturdy walking shoes (if you have them) and clothing appropriate for the weather. Bring water.
