Sydenham - Bothwell's Corner km 75.8 to Centennial Tower km 89.7, June 9th, 2017

We began the hike under beautiful conditions with a smaller but hardy group of hikers as some of the previous days crew opted for golf or an early return to Oakville.



The hike started with a trail diversion that resulted in considerable road walking.



Passing a well kept sheep farm.



After 4 km of road walking we entered the KOA grounds and took a well deserved break.



We soon entered the woods and passed a small stream.





The lighting was fantastic as we entered a red pine forest.







One for Ron!



An amazing patch of Queen Anne's lace I believe.



After a bit more  road walking  we stopped for elevensies and then we reentered the forest and climbed partially up the escarpment.







Large crevices had to be explored by a least a portion of the group.




A dead end I believe.



Can he fit through there?








The trail follows along the edge of numerous farms .









After a last km of road walking, the end is in site with an Ice Cream Shop no less for our weary hikers!



One last climb up Centennial Tower for a panoramic view of Owen Sound and then into the cars and home again.
