**Please keep an eye on the weather forecast and your emails if you sign up for this event - the event may be postponed in the event of high windchill or very wintry conditions - I also take into account the driving conditions at the time of the event**
Let's enjoy a not-too-long-and-gruelling evening walk!
We will meet at 6:15pm for a 6:25 departure.
Meet at the small parking lot at the NW end of Groat Bridge - see the directions below. **PLEASE NOTE THAT GOVERNMENT HOUSE PARK IS NOT THE SAME LOCATION AS "GOVERNMENT HOUSE" - THEY ARE TWO SEPARATE LOCATIONS. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU GO TO GOVERNMENT HOUSE PARK.** I will be wearing a yellow EOC cap, and standing by a grey Hyundai wagon. Note that I would like to maintain a fairly brisk pace on this walk (up to approx 5km/h), although we will have a few short breaks along the way.
We will walk west along the MacKinnon Ravine trail, and head into the Glenora area via the Ramsey Ravine.
Difficulty - this isn't too tough a walk, although MacKinnon Ravine in a westerly direction is a steady but moderate climb - remember we are walking at a brisk pace though!
Dogs are very welcome on this hike, please remember to include them on the registration! :-)
