This is an End to End hike of Sydenham section and is intended for those who are in great physical condition and can commit to hiking 8 days straight at a brisk pace as a group.

Everyone will be expected to share in the car shuttling  in a fair manner. Please wear a mask while in the vehicle. We will hike from north to south and the hiking schedule will be provided to confirmed participants before we start. Hiking schedules are subject to change in the event of parking closures or other variables. Booking accommodation, if you require it, in Owen Sound is suggested as it is about midway of this section.

Poles are suggested but optional.
