This is not an official club event but since we’re an outdoorsy and adventurous bunch there may be some who would be interested in a free presentation at The Loft by Canadian River Expeditions and Nahanni River Adventures owner Neil Halting. It would be nice if anyone interested in going would leave a comment below.  There’s always the opportunity to make this more of a social event if you want to arrange to meet up for dinner and drinks beforehand!

Date:  Monday,  February 26th
Time:  7:00
Location:  The Loft Cinema, 201 Division Street, Cobourg

The conditions are excellent for snow shoeing so we’re going to break some trails on a private property just north of Castleton. The Leckey property is part of the Northumberland Land Trust and the owners have given permission for a group of us to snow shoe on their scenic land which encompasses hill top views, forest, and fields. If you want to car pool please say so in the comments and hopefully rides can be arranged. Don’t forget to bring water and a snack would be a good idea.

Please let us know if you are coming so we can give the owners an idea of how many people will be showing up. The township plows the road up to the barn and we are asked to park close to the barn. Do not park in front of the garage as it can get icy and vehicles slide towards it!

Start Time: 12:30
Meeting Location: address will be given upon response
Distance: approximately 6km
Hike Leader: Maria Siemiaszko
