Bruce Trail - Scenic Drive to Guelph Line

  • I began the day by driving out to Burlington from Toronto at 5am. 
  • My cousin, a Burlite, picked me up from the small Parking area on Guelph line where I left my car and dropped me off at scenic drive in Hamilton by 6:30.
  • It was too hot. Stopped 3 times to get water from neighbours of the trail. Asked to use their garden hoses to fill up my bottles.
  • At halfway point I felt great but was low on energy and water by the time 27k came.
  • Cooled off in Grindstone Creek at first crossing.
  • Food choice was poor - GORP, bars, jerky, none of it was very appealing this day.
