Description

Please join us on this hike to honour the memory of our good friend Phil Kidston, dedicated hike leader and trail captain, and all around strong supporter of the Caledon Hills BTC and the Bruce Trail Conservancy, who passed away at the beginning of September.

From the Bruce Trail parking area on 5 Sideroad of Mono, we will take a short walk south to the open hilltop at the Philip Gosling Memorial Forest where we will have a short reflective pause by the Interpretive plaque and rest bench. From there we will head back towards the parking lot and proceed north on the main trail until the north junction of the Hockleycrest Side Trail. We'll then use it to loop back, stopping at the gazebo for a snack, before using the Harmony Side Trail to return to the cars.

Bring water, a snack, poles etc. and dress for whatever weather November provides us with.
