Description
This is a special series of 10 hikes to complete the entire Iroquoia section of the Bruce Trail over five weekends. There is an accomplishment badge, included in the registration fee – which was designed by Joe Borges and features the butternut tree.
For this E2E in 10, we will be following the main trail southbound starting in Milton and finishing in Grimsby. Please note that you are signing up for the entire series of ten hikes as a Group Hike. The Iroquoia in 10 series is geared to experienced hikers with the expectation of a 3.5 to 5.0 km/hr pace maintained over an 11 to 15 km hike.
Hikers will be expected to wear proper hiking footwear and layered clothing. Sufficient snacks, water, hiking poles, and wet weather gear (if necessary) are recommended.
The fee goes towards supporting the Iroquoia Bruce Trail Club, which in turn supports the mission of the Bruce Trail Conservancy, which is: “Preserving a ribbon of wilderness, for everyone, forever.”
A maximum of 3 of the 10 hikes can be self-completed as a result of scheduling challenges, but it is intended that this badge be earned while hiking as part of a group led by a certified hike leader. Car shuttles are shared amongst the hikers.
Please note there are no refunds!
TRANSPORTATION
This series will be through hikes and will require car shuttling, you must be willing to drive or to be a passenger. Some parking locations require paid parking, and hikes that enter Conservation Areas (CA) will require reservations. The fee for the E2E-in-Ten does not cover any parking/entry fees for hikers who are not members of the Halton CA and/or Hamilton CA. If the group has enough hikers who are members of a CA, those will be the cars chosen to park in those areas so as to minimize costs but since conservation passes are not free, please consider nominal compensation to the pass holder. At least one hike starts at one CA and possibly ends at another, so parking fees are unavoidable for non-CA members.
Remember, you can only miss three hikes to qualify for this special Beechnut badge. You must still complete the distance you have missed. If you miss more than three but still complete the distances on your own, you may apply for the regular club End to End badge. Those who already have the Beechnut badge may elect to get the new Red Fox Independent E2E Badge.
