      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#2A2A2A"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Arial"&gt;Thursday Fast Hike&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family: Arial, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1; color: rgb(42, 42, 42);"&gt;Hungry Hollow Loop (Georgetown)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 12px;" color="#2A2A2A" face="Arial"&gt;When:&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Thursday June 18th, 2026&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 12px;" color="#2A2A2A" face="Arial"&gt;Time:&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9:30 AM – 12:00 PM&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 12px;" color="#2A2A2A" face="Arial"&gt;Location&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Trailhead opposite 125 Miller Dr. Georgetown (between Lookout Court &amp;amp; View Point Circle) Roadside parking.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#2A2A2A" face="Arial"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hungry Hollow Hike Description:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#2A2A2A" face="Arial"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Distance:&lt;/strong&gt; Approx. 9k – Level 1+ - Fast pace 5kms/hr&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#2A2A2A" face="Arial"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Trail:&lt;/strong&gt; Trail surface is crushed stone &amp;amp; soil, mostly flat, with some hills&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#2A2A2A" face="Arial"&gt;Hungry Hollow is a hidden gem! It’s a deep valley that courses through one of southern Ontario’s prettier towns, but for the most part is out-of-sight and out-of-mind. You’re in an oasis of forest, marsh and water. The trail takes you across bridges over Silver Creek, which flows into the Credit River and on a fabulous 500m boardwalk through a lovely marshy area. This beautiful loop is truly, “Wilderness in the City”.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#2A2A2A" face="Arial"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Our Walk Thursday June 18th 2026&lt;/strong&gt; (You must register online to join this walk.)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>BT Iroquoia E2E Series: Repeat of first hike - Grimsby to Macdui Drive (27 Jun 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Saturday, June 27, 2026&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Where: Grimsby area: The Bruce Trail Reference, Edition 30, Maps 5/6.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Limited to 10 hikers&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hike Description:&lt;/strong&gt; Day 1 Repeat: Grimsby to Macdui Drive will take us through the Beamer Memorial Conservation Area, and past the Beamer Falls, past Woolverton Conservation area. We will also go by McNeilly West Falls and Vinemount Falls which hopefully we might see. Maybe some other cascades on the way. But as this is a June hike - they might not be big. This is a repeat of the first hike (Iroquoia E2E series). Car shuttle involved. See note below about car shuttle.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About this series of hikes:&lt;/strong&gt; Join Tanya on this repeat of the first hike from series of 9 hikes: End-to-End (E2E) hikes through the Iroquoia section of the Bruce Trail, to complete ~ 122 km of this section, running from Grimsby to Milton along the Niagara Escarpment. The Iroquoia section has lots to offer: beautiful waterfalls, few wineries, spectacular views specially passing near Hamilton, Mount Nemo and Kelso, and a varied terrain.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Carpooling meeting point:&lt;/strong&gt; 8:00 am at Carpool Lot Hwy 401 exit 299 Morriston Queen St/Brock Rd S (Hwy 6), (43.451406, -80.120985). Leaving at 8:10 at the latest. Carpooling is an option. Please communicate to hike leader if you will meet there. Please note: this is a linear hike we will need to make car shuffle. If you carpool, please make sure to have 2 to 3 spots free in your car.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#4C76A2" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;All meet at 9:00 am&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#4C76A2" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;on&lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/tupshPs8EhF4QMxw9"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13px;" face="Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Macdui Dr.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#4C76A2" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;(&lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.gvta.on.ca/Macdui%20Dr."&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13px;" face="Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;43.207598,-79.712827&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#4C76A2" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;) east of DeWitt Rd off Dundee Dr. Roadside parking. From there we will organize car shuttle to the start of the hike from&lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/CvFknEHiucPreKB37"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13px;" face="Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;parking area off Ridge Rd&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#4C76A2" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;located east of the southernmost portion of Beamers Falls Side Trail (&lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/CvFknEHiucPreKB37"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13px;" face="Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;43.183648, -79.571823&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#4C76A2" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#4C76A2" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Car shuffle:&lt;/strong&gt; All participants will be expected to take turns either driving to the start or driving the drivers back at the end of the day. Carpooling to our meeting spot with 2 to max 3 people in the car is generally ok but we would like to minimize and equalize the driving/shuttling as much as possible so it is fair for all participants.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Directions:&lt;/strong&gt; Please use your favourite GPS app to obtain directions.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What to wear and bring: This is an early summer hike, please dress according to weather; bring a hat and sunscreen. Wear good hiking boots. Bring rain gear. Bug repellent might be needed. Hiking poles if you like using them. Bring water, snacks and pack a lunch - we will stop for short lunch around noon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Length:&lt;/strong&gt; Approx. 16 km&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pace and duration: Moderate, 3.25 km/hr. About 4.5 hours + car shuttle time. Hike level: Moderate to difficult. Some hilly sections and uneven terrain. Some road walking. Be also aware of the length of the hike.&lt;/p&gt;
