Itinerary:

Welcome to my easy walk series, which is a walk designed for those who either

Would prefer to not walk to far or too challenging

Those who are new to the club and want to dip your feet

Looking for more of a social event

In this monthly series, we'll be doing a short less than an hour and a half walk around the city.
Post hike, I'll aim to take us to a pub or a coffee shop, so that we can socialize a bit.

Today's 4.5 KM hike will start and end at Chaplin Station.

The hike will be on a combination of gravel trails, paved park paths and gravel trails, which will probably be covered in snow.

In terms of hills, there will be none over 25 meters.
However, there is a slight climb into Forest Hill & a set up stairs near the end of the hike.

I'll attempt to stop for a washroom break at Memorial Arena, located less than 1 KM into the hike.

Post hike if anyone is interest, I'm going to walk over to The Mad Bean Coffee House if you'd like to join.

I usually carry a pair of icers with me from the first snowfall of the year until the end of April, so I recommend having a pair in your pack to deal with any potential ice.
You can find the pair I use, 'HERE ON AMAZON'.

Event Directions:

Chaplin LRT Station is located on the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, two stops east of Cedarvale and Station and 2 stations west of Eglinton.

We'll meet on the North-east corner of Eglinton Avenue & Chaplin Crescent.
If the weather is unfavorable, I'll be just inside the station doors.

For those of you driving, Chaplin Station is located at 576 Eglinton Ave West, about halfway between Avenue Road & Bathurst Street.

In terms of parking, there's a Green P parking lot located at 125 Burnaby Blvd.
Other options include street parking on Gilgorm Rd or Latimer Ave, which are located just east of Chaplin, north of Eglinton.

Look for me in the BLUE Toronto Outdoor Club shirt.
