Mud Season is upon us and we need to be mindful of where and when we hike in order to protect the trail and environment.  Please adhere to the following guidance:

– Choose your route to avoid sections of the trail that are known to be swampy or wet.  (This also applies to parking areas).

– Stay on the trail, as the ground is most vulnerable to damage when water laden.

– When encountering muddy sections of trail, walk directly through the mud in the centre of the trail, do not be tempted to walk around  muddy patches, as this will widen the trail damaging plant life.

– Be prepared to get wet and muddy, by wearing appropriate footwear/gaiters and a change of clothes.

Many Thanks
