Sydenham - Bognor Marsh (29.4 km) to St, Vincent/Sydenham Townline (45.0 km) - Oct. 5th, 2021

Today we hiked 15.6 km from Bognor Marsh along the escarpment to the Townline.

There were eleven hikers including Ken (photographer), Doug, Steve, Nancy, Marleen, Barbara, Boyd, Brian, Arpi, Mauris, and Sandra.  It was a cloudy and cool day ideal for hiking.

The trees on the escarpment were spectacular as we started across the marsh.

The floating bridge made for an interesting crossing but we all made it across.

We came across a very large paw print.

Elevensies!

One of many pauses needed today as the hiking was very technical. 

Some fungus for Ron J.

The Trail heads down and up the escarpment several times over the course of the hike adding to the challenge.

The Trail goes through the village of Woodford.

Back into the forest for the last 2.5 km.

The Trail passes an old homestead.

Never a good sign when they are warning about narrow crevices and providing a by-pass.

Not so bad so far.

Tighter!

Finally the cars appear after a 6 hour hike over a challenging hike.
