Notice
As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, and guidance from the Public Health Authority, we are currently weighing the risks and this year’s trail leader course may be delivered virtually. If you intend to participate, it is imperative that you register, as we will be using that list to communicate any official changes and the details for accessing the virtual space should it become necessary.
Description
The aim of the trail leader course is to provide knowledge and share some of the club’s collective experience with those individuals that volunteer to lead the group. Individuals completing the course should gain an understanding of the skills, knowledge and experience to be an effective leader on the trail.
The course will cover topics such as:
- Communications
- Recovery Situations
- Incident and Emergency Management
- Vehicle Inspection
- Spotting
- Environmental Considerations
Taking the course alone does not make you a trail leader, but is an important step in the process.
Registration
If you wish to attend the course, please complete the short form by clicking the registration link. The trail leader course is open to members only.

Details to come – we will be seeking volunteers to help with patrols, etc.
The last two seasons, the EOTB has had to break with tradition and move our season opener to the Darling Line do to excessively wet conditions at the Gorge. This season, we thought we’d skip the rescheduling and go straight to Darling and limit our season opener to members.
The trail runs along a power line offering a variety of rocky obstacles to play on with the option of bypassing obstacles you don’t feel you, or your vehicle, are quite ready for. As the Season Opener usually attracts a large number of vehicles, please come prepared for a slow pace, with plenty of opportunity to socialize while watching your peers tackle the various obstacles. It’s a great opportunity to get to know your fellow members and take some great photos!
Given the unpredictability of our climate, the schedule could be changed. Please keep an eye on the calendar.
Meeting Place
Primary Meeting Location: Bells Corners Loblaws parking lot @ 9:00am

The overland committee will do some exploration to identify some new routes to use on future trips. This is a closed event, limited only to committee members.
In partnership with the OF4WD, the EOTB has adopted the Crag Lake trail. We will run the Crag Lake trail with a focus on clearing any debris or trees that may have come down over the winter months, trim branches encroaching on the trail and pick-up any garbage we find along the way.
While we will be running the trail, you can expect that progress will be slower than usual as we work to maintain the trail.
Meeting Place
Primary Meeting Location: The Bogie General Store at 9:00am
Given the length of the trail, we will forego the usual meeting spot in Bells Corners and meet at The Bogie General Store at the intersection of Highways 508 and 511.
Departure
We will be leaving no later than 9:30am.
Equipment
Since this is a trail maintenance event, we recommend you bring some work gloves and appropriate tools. We will likely require one or more chainsaws to clear downed trees, clippers and machetes to trim branches and we will bring garbage bags to collect any garbage we find along the way.

Tow Points are mandatory for this trail. A lift and 33″ or larger tires is recommended for this trail.
