🌲 Brothers Creek Loop is a **7km** hike that takes between **3.5 to 4 hours** depending on the pace. There is minimal elevation, but there are portions that will give you a good workout! Please be comfortable hiking slight inclines for 10 to 20 minutes at a time.

🥾 We will go at a **moderate pace** taking microbreaks (30 seconds to a minute) every 15 or so minutes and as needed. We will stop for 15 to 20 minutes for lunch.

**📍 Meeting spot:** either meet me at Park Royal Bay 4 before 10:27am, or meet at the trail head by 11am.

**🚌 Transit:** catch the **#254 bus** to the British Properties at **Park Royal Bay 4 at 10:27am**. Get off at **Eyremount Dr @ Crestline Rd** at approximately 10:41am, then it is a ten minute walk to the trailhead. (Note: if coming from downtown into the direction of Horseshoe Bay, Bay 4 is across the street, in the direction of downtown.)

**❗️IMPORTANT:** ***the #254 bus leaves only once an hour***, so if you miss it, you will miss the hike. If you are taking transit, please ensure that you will be at Park Royal Bay 4 well before 10:27am. (Transit is such a pain in the ass!)❗️

**➡️ Directions to the trailhead from Eyremount Dr @ Crestline Rd:** walk up Crestline Road, then turn left on Henlow Road. Turn right on Millstream Road, then continue on Millstream for 100m. Turn left at the fork to reach the trailhead.

**🚙 Parking:** The trailhead is in a residential area so there is limited street parking. However being a cold November day, there shouldn't be an issue with parking. Please arrive before 11am in case you need to spend a few minutes looking for parking.

❗️🙏 Even though there is a bus that drops you off minutes away from the trailhead, it is such a pain to get to and from the trail head by transit due to the lack of frequency. **If anyone can offer people rides, that would be much appreciated!** Leave a comment about how many people you can pick up and where and when you can pick them up. Thank you! 😊

🍎 Please bring a lunch or snack and enough water.

🧻 **Toilets:** there are no toilets or outhouses. If you need to pee, you have to go in the woods!

☔️ I hope it doesn't rain! Please dress accordingly and wear hiking boots if possible -- the trail can get muddy.

🍔 🍷 **Optional:** after the hike, we can go for a bite to eat at Nando's by Park Royal.

❗️If you are running late, you MUST notify me -- send me a message or leave a comment. If I don't know you are running a few minutes late, I don't know to wait for you and you will be left behind and marked as a no show. No shows will be removed from the group. Note that reception is spotty at the trail head so I am not guaranteed to see messages in a timely manner.
