* to attend this meetup you will need to invest in yaktraks (traction device, see link: https://www.yaktrax.com) OR hiking poles, preferably both. While no one has ever been injured on this hike, every year someone falls or turns back without completing the hike because the ground is so slippery.

No exceptions

-----

Hiking season's just around the corner so it's time to get our mind shifted towards spring and summer!

We will begin with a walk along the top of the river on the flats, before heading down and hiking on the trails along the river. This second section may be slippery section, as it's tree-covered and the sun doesn't penetrate sufficiently to melt the ice. We will aim to cover around 10-12kms.

Good hiking boots or shoes are advisable, as well as either yaktrax or hiking poles.

At roughly the halfway point we will stop for a quick break. Bring a snack and at least 1L water to stay hydrated.

Dress according to weather: avoid cotton and invest in merino wool hiking gear (socks, short or long-sleeve t-shirts). Mountain Warehouse is a new store in the city that offers good hiking gear at affordable prices. Other store are Escape Sports, Eb's Adventures, and Outter Limits.

After the hike we may go out for some food and/or refreshments.
