Page 16~ Halton Hills This Week, Wednesday, February 10, 1993 Hiking near Trail blazing Scottsdale Farm By Frances Walker Today’s walk is a short 3.5 km hike near Scottsdale Farm that could be extended into a much longer walk through the farm. To reach the starting point from Georgetown, travel west on Hwy. #7 to the top of the Escarpment where Trafalgar Road branches to the right. If you are traveling from Acton, turn left at the top of the Escarpment onto Trafalgar Road. Travel north on Trafalgar about 1 km and turn right on #27 Side Road. After about 2 km #27 meets 8th Line and jogs to the left before continuing. Stay on #27 (which is now a dirt road) about .25 km. The road goes down into a creek valley and you will notice a wide shoulder on the right, just before a bridge. Park here. Across the road is the end of the Bennett Heritage Side Trail. You will enter the field on your right, cross a style into woods, and follow the white blazes of the Bruce Trail. Four ways to keep these men After bout 1.5 km of walking you will cross 8th Line. In winter this section of the line is not main- tained. Continue along the trail along a fairly broad track. Very shortly you will see a style with blue blazes on your left. This is the Great Esker side trail, which will be the subject of a future walk. Continue on the main trail, and watch for a right turn as you climb a hill. As you turn, you will see another blue blaze, which is the other end of the Great Esker side point, you might wish to extend follow the white blazes and enter the Scottsdale Farm property (this was the subject of walk #1). After about 2 km you will hear the traffic on Trafalgar Road. Watch for a blue blaze on your right and pick up the Bennett Heritage Side Trail. Follow this trail through the farm, across 8th Line, and finally over the style to #27 Side Road where your car is parked. This extension would add another 5.5 km your walk. To complete the shorter walk, turn sharply right after crossing the bridge, and climb the style onto 8th Line. Cross the road, walk a few yards to the intersection with #27 Side Road and turn left onto #27. A walk of about .25 km will return you to your car. It takes about 10-15 minutes to t to the access point from Georgetown and about 15-20 min- utes from Acton. Please remember that when walking in winter it is always important to be properly dressed. If you are not an experi- enced hiker, don’t plan too long or ur home out of Dra, your walk. You would continue to difficult a hike. > ‘ayia A : = Burning off unwanted fat By Laurie Burns Every person dissatisfied with body size and shape would love to dis- cover the magic pill or diet that would burn fat at an accelerated rate.

Intense exercise, which is more anaerobic (without oxygen supplied to the muscles) is used to pro- vide energy. Intense exercise, which is more anaerobic, uses less fat. This difference is due to the way the working muscles process energy for movement. Low to moderate intensity generally means exercising at sugar, Not Fat. Exercise Myth: Many people feel that the harder you work out the less fat you will be. Exercise professionals know that this is not necessarily true.
