A Walk in the Park in the Caledon Section

Last Sunday, a few BFRs (Anne, Sheila and myself) and friends (Rob, Carsten, Dexter and Jenn) went for a walk about in the Forks of the Credit. 



We did about 10k, from the parking spot at 9.4 to the parking spot at 19.0 on map 15 - Cataract of the map book. Very beautiful and a bit hilly but not overly challenging. It drizzled a bit but we didn't get wet thanks to the canopy of the trees. A perfect day and perfect distance to break in new hiking boots that Anne had on her feet. No blisters, no pains for a change. We had a nice picnic in a beautiful little spot and as always had just a bit too much food.



A few of the group went off trail to take some pics by climbing under the fence that said DANGER.

Others went to explore tree houses along the way.

We found a great little coffee shop in Erin for a tasty treat after the hike. The place is called the Shed and they have spare tubes for cyclists that pass by and have a flat. Neat little place. Definitely worth going back. And that we will do as there is more to hike in the Caledon Section of the Bruce Trail.
