Description
The Bruce Trail Conservancy is a founding member of the World Trails Network, working collaboratively to promote and support public footpaths through the creation of Friendship Trails.Much like twin cities, Friendship Trails connect trail organizations from different countries in a spirit of partnership, shared promotion, and international collaboration. These connections celebrate friendship, strengthen community, and bring people from all walks of life together both with nature and with one another.
Bruce Trail Conservancy features 10 Friendship Trails at different BTC Club locations. PBTC has the privilege of hosting two Friendship Trails, The Cotswold Way and Southwest Coastal Path, in Great Britain.

This is the last of the Friendship Hike mini-series. The South West Coast Path, the longest established National Trail in the UK. Known for its spectacular coastal views, rocky cliffs, and diverse flora, it pairs beautifully with the Cape Chin Meadows Side Trail, in the Peninsula section, which boasts similar features along Georgian Bay.

Our 10 ½ km loop hike takes us along a wetland, through mixed forest over mostly flat but rocky terrain. This will be a medium paced hike with time for lunch at one of the most beautiful lookouts on the entire Bruce Trail. Plan for ~ 4 hour hike which includes a stop at noon.
Brad and Sara McMillan, PBTC Trail Captains and SWCP hikers, will join our hike today. Together, we will share some of our wonderful hiking experience on the Southwest Coastal Path.
