Presently due to the Covid situation the Lambton Outdoor Club is not participating in any car pooling or overnight trips. However, being cautiously optimistic Bruce Trail Hike Leaders from the Hiking Committee of the Lambton Outdoor Club have made tentative plans.
We are hoping to be able to go to the Beaver Valley Section of the Bruce Trail Monday Sept. 27 – Sept. 30 for a 3-4 day hike.
The location of the Oct 15-17 hike is yet to be determined.
As the Bruce Trail has some difficult terrain and as we will be hiking 20+ km per day over the 3-4 days we have traditionally offered qualifying hikes. Safety is the key to an enjoyable, successful hike!
To ensure that you feel confident of your abilities and for the sake of those accompanying you to feel confident we request that those signing up participate in either a Fanshawe Lake hike or a Maitland hike. Due to Covid issues we are this year substituting an Ausable Cut through Lambton Heritage Forest hike for the Maitland experience. Both hikes will be 20+ kms climbing hills.
Watch the LOC website.
As soon as Covid restrictions can be lifted the hikes will be posted and open for signing up. We are hopeful that this will be in 2021 but perhaps not till 2022….
