Mary and I went for our final warm up hike today. We drove to Hilton Falls and started out at around 11:00 am. We decided to do the Hilton Falls side trail that is connected to the Bruce Trail. It is approximately 18 kms in length and is a mixture of nice groomed track and escarpment cap rock. The path can be ugly in places and requires constant vigilance to prevent twisting an ankle or knee. It started as a pleasant day with broken cloud but quickly clouded over to a dull grey afternoon. We finished the hike at about 4:00 pm and cleaned off our boots for the 25 minutes drive back to Guelph. Over the next week and a half we will get all our gear cleaned up and packed away properly and limit our walks to the local area near our house.
Stay tuned for more preparation planning. the countdown is now 12 days until departure to Vancouver and NZ!
