AURORA - Sheppards Bush (Hike # 5 of the End-to-End Series), Moderate; Neil Runnalls

Members only hike. Pre-registration is mandatory.

ORTA Map 2; 9km; 2.5 hrs. This 9 km hike will take us from Bathurst St. and Henderson Drive through suburban streets in Aurora, across Yonge Street and finally down to Sheppards  Bush Conservation area.  We will finish on the Vandorf Side Road just east of Bayview Ave.

Join our group as we move east to cover the entire Oak Ridges Trail in small, manageable sections.  See all that the Oak Ridges Moraine has to offer in southern Ontario!

Preparing for the Hike: Dress in layers appropriate for the weather (urban hiking wear is fine).  2 litres of water is still essential during the cold weather; a warm thermos with hot water, tea or other beverage is helpful for the coldest days.  No dogs, no drop-outs.

This is a shuttle hike and will require volunteers for driving to the start point. 

Meeting Point: GPS: 43.98700° N, 79.43750° W, Van Dorf Side Road just west of entrance to Carisbrooke Circle. W3W:///sweaty.centurion.unattended 

 Cancellation Policy: Hiking is great fun but it is not worth risking anyone’s life if weather conditions are dangerous.  A confirmation email will be sent out on the Friday preceding the hike if cancellation is necessary due to heavy snow or freezing rain conditions on the day of the hike.  Please check your email before the hike.
