Itinerary:

My philosophy for conditioning is a combination of endurance, weight in backpacks and hills. We will begin with endurance training and weight in our backpacks.

If you have not been too busy over the winter I would suggest a day pack with light weight and then if you have been busy push yourself and increase your weight.

This week we will meet at the Kinsman Sport Centre overflow parking lot and hike to Wm Hawrelak Park. If you are planning a backpacking trip this summer I encourage you start filling your backpack to start getting use to the weight.

This event is the third of many conditioning hikes leading to a backpacking/camping event in July in Kaninaskis country
