Niagara Km 7.0 to Km 15.2 - 31 May, 2016

Section from Fireman's Park on Dorchester Road km 7.0 to Taylor Road at the entrance to
 Woodend Conservation Area km 15.2.

Warm and sunny, great for hiking.

Christine had hiked the first 7 km of this section in April 2015 and this completes her quest
 to hike the Bruce Trail end to end. 28 Members of the Oakville Pathfinders gathered to
 ensure that Christine actually did finish the section.

The total entourage  minus one, our scheduled hike leader Karen Nourse, who had 'nursed'
 Christine through her previous 885 km unfortunately was not able to join us. 
As a result Richard Olley was recruited at the last minute to take her place. 
He can be seen at the extreme right of this picture fortifying himself for the task.

 Chrisitne leading her crew. 

 We cross the QEW on a pedestrian bridge created specifically for the Bruce Trail.

 The Trail passes under the railroad through the 'Screaming Tunnel'.
 The Trail cuts through some wonderfully landscaped private property.
 We pass the Woodend Houses in the Woodend Conservation Area.


 Congratulations Christine !!

We treated ourselves to lunch at the Jordan House.
I thought that Christine was handing Richard her credit card to pay for lunch, 
but apparently I was mistaken.
