DON VALLEY TRAIL

This is a lovely walk along the full Don Valley trail, starting in the east end at Taylor Creek park and ending down at Lakeshore. If we are lucky it will be a clear night so we can see the full moon! The trail will be muddy and wet in places so bring icers and wear proper footwear (no running shoes). We will walk at a decent pace of 4.5-5.0 km per hour so be prepared to stick with the group. (No racing ahead as I won't be chasing after anyone who gets lost). Dogs are welcome. Following the hike there will be an optional trip to the Distillery district for those who want hot chocolate or a beer. Otherwise it's a quick walk up to King St where you can get the King streetcar.

ICERS: If you want to come on a winter hike with me, you must bring a pair of icers in your pack. You won't have to use them very often, but when it is icy on the trail, you'll need them. The icer is held to your boot with a set of Velcro straps, and keeps you from slipping and sliding on the ice. You can purchase decent icers at MEC or Canadian Tire. If we are hiking at night I will also expect you to have a headlamp or flashlight.

No Shows: If you can't make it please remove yourself from the event by the cuttoff time. Anyone cancelling after that may receive a No Show.

Required Items to Bring:

Good footwear. Trail may be muddy and wet so no running shoes.
Icers are mandatory.
