Sunday, Feb 23 - A note from Gary

Just a reminder about the hike on Sunday. I guess we are meeting at Serious Coffee about 8:30 am for coffee and a chat, plan to leave there at 9 am.

We all might want pack something to snack on as well as rain gear, it could be ugly. Also some good boots for a  possible snowy trail.

All the usual stuff that Club Mud prepares for.

Feb Hike: Sunday the 23rd

Gary has a great hike planned for us. To quote:

" I was thinking that exploring up the Terra Nova trail then going towards Mount Braden would be interesting.

Researching the trail on the web mostly deals with the trail being used for mountain biking, but I have seen lots of hikers going up it and then going towards Mount Braden.

Good description of hike:

Here are a few links regarding mountain bike for information:

Looks like the return hike could take between 4 to 5 hours.
