Itinerary:

So, I've had my eye on doing this hike for a few years, and finally have time to put it together.
This hike will be an in-out down the Duffins Creek looping around the Veteran's Point Gardens down to the beach at Simcoe Point.
This is my first time doing this hike, so please be advised I might screw it up.

I plan on stopping for a lunch break on this one, either at the beach at Simcoe Point (9 KM) or if its raining, I'll stop under cover in Rotary Park (8.5 KM).

This 15 KM hike will both start and finish at Ajax GO Station.
Should it be raining on the date of this hike, I'll will cut out the beach and just make this a 13.3 KM hike.

The hike will be on a combination of single track dirt trails,

This hike is pretty flat, with no hills over 25 meters.

I'll attempt to stop for a washroom break at in Veteran's Point Gardens about 7 KM in.
