We turned left and after 75 metres we left the road to the right.  We climbed a cliff on the right and hugged a field edge and passed through a young forest before climbing the side of a large drumlin.  We followed a series of field edges to rejoin Fifth Line.

We then turned right and followed Fifth Line north for 900 metres and then turned into the bush.  We then crossed a creek and after skirting the edge of some cultivated fields we crossed a swamp on a boardwalk before reaching Sixth Line.

After our 'typical' Elevensies break we turned left along the Sixth Line to Highway 7and turned right and followed the road for 700 metres.  We then turned left into the bush passing through sections of wet and dry land before crossing Trafalgar Road.  We followed a 250 metre board walk to the high ground of the Scotsdale Farm. 

We continued through a mature woods where tall graceful trees form a high canopy overhead.  We crossed a bridge and headed into a pasture.  We continued through a series of fields, woodlots and wet areas before reach the Maureen Smith Side Trail, which we took to the parking lot at the Scotsdale Farm where we had parked the car.
