hikers enjoy walk on bruce trail some people if ihev had their way would be born with wheels instead of legs the quote is one of a dozen sim ilar outbursts from george rim- mer or burlington a member of the bruce trail club a man who loves his hiking and a man dedi cated to enjoy the outdoors him self even if the rest of the world wants to ride by on wheels george and 16 others look up their favorite sport just recently on an organized spring hike along a fourmile stretch ol the bruce trail in the limehouse area the toronto bruce trail club organ ized the event and decided to ex plore a littlcuscd section of their trail between the fourth and sev enth lines of esquesing town ship twice four miles because it was only a fourmile stretch and the normal organized hike is around eight miles in length they retraced their steps and walked it both ways prob ably the first time in club history a group has hiked twice over the same terrain in the same day landowner problems west of he fourth line and east of the seventh line highway 7 at this point caused the only breaks in the 207 mile section ol the bruce trail for which the toronto club is responsible anyone using the trail between the third and four th lines and between the seventh and fightli lines must walk on i he roads because landowners have not granted permission for the trail to cross their larms east ol thj seventh line a quarry has purchased rock rights and hikers are asked to stay off the property because the firm cannot be re sponsible for injuries caused hik ers by blasting the toronto club maintaintthe trail betwen five sideroad at kel so and the terra cotta conserva tion area except for these two portions its all bush and field walking latest gear the recent hike began at the georgetown plaa at 10 am where carloads of hikers assem bled ready to start the trek through the open land most wore special hiking boots heavy jack ets and warm clothing and car ried such paraphernalia as knap sacks full of lunch and a hot bev erage knives binoculars and bruce trail guidebooks and maps but organizers point out you dont need all that special equip ment to walk the trail the cars drove to the fourth line and the 17 bikers spilled out into the crisp fresh air they ranged in age from lour to about 74 and included four women 12 men and a child some brought speciallycarved walking sticks and one man carried a light alum inum cane it was 1045 when they left the embarkation point and at precise ly noon they stumbled into a love ly clearing to find an ideal spot to sit for lunch midway be tween the fifth and sixth lines following a halfhour lunch break they were ofif again and the sev enth line destination was reached about i30pm back to cars four who wanted to be home early had parked their cars at the seventh line and they departed for horne from there theothers turned around and walked down the same trail arriving back to iheir cars at 315 pm sights along the trail included a maple sugar shack where ex perts iri the crowd explained the syrup boiling process a pretty waterfall on a creek that flpws be side the trail near the seventh line and the spotting of several colorful birds which the bird watchers immediately identified the hikers were mostly mem bers of ihe toronto club and well known to one another but they quickly made
