TEC || Ardbeg Fall Run 2019 (Oct 4 - 6)

It’s the time of the year to do our annual TEC Fall Run.

October 4 - 6 is the official dates.

Current plans are:

Friday: arrive, getting to know your 4wd system, basic runs around beach area, camping near beach area.
Saturday: North/South trail with camping mid way though south trail.
Sunday: finish south trail and leave by the late afternoon.


Locations to meet on Friday(times will be posted closer to event dates):

1) ONroute King City Travel Plaza - 12001 ON-400, King City, ON L7B 1A8
2) Shell gas station - 114 Bowes St, Parry Sound, ON P2A 2X1


Those that never been at Ardbeg - If you are coming late Friday night or Saturday morning please PM me 2 days before for instructions when/where to meet.


Camping wise it will be cold, bring firewood, dress warm, it can rain.
Camp sites are made out of rocks if you plan to pitch your tent, they don't have any services around. Fill up with gas and bring enough water.
Have your spare tire with you, bring air compressor and all necessary gear.

Most important: drink responsibly and don't drive on trails under influence. There is no excuse for that.

​

All trails are stock friendly for this run, we don’t take any responsibility though - use common sense.

Oct 4-6th wouldn't be too bad of a day to go.

since;
Oct 12-14th is the long weekend
Oct 20th Steve Soper of Earthscape Overland is hosting an annual fall colour run out in Milton

 

I'm picking October 4th because Luke wants to come and he is our Kid Brock. It will be epic!

 

where is Ardberg? found Ardbeg, but Ardberg is in England.

 

FIFY

 

somewhat yes, but I also did it stock many times and many other guys did that trail and survived. It’s doable lol.

 

we take a ferry... from Perry Sound lol

 

I thought we'd take the one from Amherst Island out by Kingston

 

voted oct 4-6 for luke

 

looks like i have no choice but to go now

from the stories i hear from everyone, Ardbeg scares me

Though what time Friday would we be meeting up? not sure if i can take the day off but but might be able to head out early

 

It’s just a scary story, there is little to fear (if you are on 35s). I kid...



We will have two checkpoints to meet at before heading there, one is King City ONRoute and second is Shell gas station at Perry Sound.

For those that plan to come on Saturday we can meet them at the beginning of the cottage trail.

More details will be posted closer to dates

 

I will most likely be working and then heading up after. I'm planning to be on the road by 5pm. What time were you thinking?

 

@Tridet167 @llamasmurf

 

If you get friday off we can leave hamilton together n meet the other guys up the hwy

 

I voted 4-6 but still on the fence
Any ones wives/gf’s coming?

 

There ain’t much hiking there like we did last time, just bring your truck and booze. lol

 

Release the Kraken

 

Ok, here's how I am going to contribute to this trip to you cvnts...even tho i ain't participating.

I am going to sponsor a bottle of this, for you reprobates simply cuz none of you ever will even trip over it, for a ceremonial occasion

https://www.lcbo.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/lcbo/ardbeg-10-year-old-islay-scotch-whisky-560474

Ya, no. It's not the 200$ bottle but I simply have to believe that you all will hate the 100$ bottle as much as you'd hate the 200$ bottle.

I shall find it, I shall source it, and I will ensure that the red praetorian pig dog shall receive it before all you broke back mountain fvckers depart...

Under one condition. All participants of said entourage shall at least drink 1 shot, straight (unlike the ones who shan't be named). The rest of the bottle shall be consumed by whom I care not. But it must be consumed ( not dumped, not broken (respect your elders gift)).


Do we have an accord?

P.S. I know Kid Bruke is in
