TBN's Fall Hiking Program

From Sunday, October 18 to Sunday, December 6, 2009

Are you looking to participate in a vigorous outdoor activity after a great summer of cycling? Join TBN on scenic hikes of 15 - 22 kilometres along the Bruce Trail. This year we have nine hikes planned. This is a great opportunity to spend some time getting to know fellow TBNers while maintaining your fitness level. For the specific hiking locations and start times, check the HOTLINE or subscribe to the weekly TBN Chain of Events Mailing List.

The hike locations start in the north & move south each week. Our first hike is Pretty Valley, southwest of Collingwood. As the name implies, it's a beautiful hike and well worth the drive.

A few tips: Remember to bring along your hiking boots/shoes, a water bottle, lunch and a backpack to carry things in. A hat is a good idea as is rain gear. Layered clothing works best. Wear a couple of pairs of socks - a polypropylene pair (sock-liners) for wicking moisture away and a wool pair for warmth. It's a good idea to bring a second pair of shoes for the drive home (it will help keep the car clean).

For further information, contact hiking@tbn.ca. If you don't have a ride to the meeting point, post a ridesharing request on our ridesharing bulletin board. Or look into the City Walks program. The City Walks meeting points are accessible by public transport.
