This is 10 KM hike, rain or shine. 
We should be done my mid-afternoon, around 15:00 - 16:00

Scouter Dan advises:
Ensure they have lots of water, bug spray/bug nets. The are some wet spots and the bugs are starting up. It is important that the hikers are aware that they may get wet, they should try not to get wet.

The forecast is looking good.

Gear:

  • Day pack
  • walking shoes or boots
  • lunch (peanut free)
  • water and water bottle (there are water stations where we can refill)
  • snacks (peanut free), probably one for the morning, one for afternoon, and one just in case :-)
