At this time, we are accepting "Non-Member" registrations.

Registration will be open 6 days before the event.  We will open the site for registrations the Monday morning before the hike at 9.30 am. I realize this can be a pain but it will help prevent people from registering for all future hikes.  It will be just like the rides that we have been doing this season.

Please keep in mind that Winter Hiking is different than Fall Hiking.  Proper footwear and icers are required

For this hike we will shift our attention from the north and east areas to the Ancaster/ Dundas Valley area.  The Dundas Valley has a mixture of Carolinian forests, fields, cold water streams and stunning geological formations that is home to a wide array of rare plants, birds and wildlife.  We will be starting at the Ancaster Lions Club pool and follow trails that have a lot of ups and downs.  We will be doing approximately 235 meters of climbing in 11 km.  I am not sure if it will be icy or muddy so prepare for both.  Should be a beautiful day.

Distance:  11 km

Pace:       Moderate (~3.5 km/hr)

Terrain:     Moderate - some hills and steep declines.  prepare for mud or ice or both.

PROPER FOOTWEAR AND ICERS ARE REQUIRED
