| Starting the Hike |
We followed Heritage Rd for 700 metres and then turned left into a light bush crossing a small stream. We continued east and entered a more mature forest and reached the lip of a valley. We then hiked north and gradually descended into the valley and crossed a stream on a bridge.
We came across some trees with tubing on them I made an inquiry to the Credit Valley Conservation Area. They told me that it was a study being done with Toronto University to see much water goes down the tree when it rains. The snow is covering the bucket where the water is gathered.
After 300 metres we turned left and climbed the Escarpment on an old bush track. We turned right and followed the Escarpment brow for a km and then turned away from the scarp edge and climbed a secondary Escarpment into mature woods.
We continued north to Boston Mills Road allowance . We turned right past the intersection of Boston Mills Rd and Mississauga Rd and turned left on Creditview Rd. We followed the road for 700 metres to the stile which is the end of Toronto Section.
After completing this section we all agreed that we would do the 2 kms at Limehouse which some of us had not completed on the February 4th hike. Before starting, we stopped off at Tim Horton's on the way.
We climbed a rock face into the Limehouse Conservation Area. We crossed an abandoned roadway and hiked 400 m to the Limehouse Access Trail. We continued past a series of rock fissures before dropping through the Hole-in-the-wall on two ladders.
