Itinerary: |
SATURDAY AM HIKE
Rescheduling from March 24. This
time we will
ignore weather forecasters and just
go have fun...
First priority will go to everyone
who was on the
original hike.
This is a lovely Saturday morning
walk through East York and Lawrence
Park. It's
about 13 km.
We'll start at Victoria Park
Subway Station.
- Depart Victoria Park Subway
Station
- Travel through Taylor Creek Park
- North through the Don Valley
Trail to
Sunnybrook Park
- West through Sunnybrook,
Sherwood Park &
Bythwood Ravine
- End at Lawrence Station
Total distance traveled = ~13 Km
The trail may be muddy and
wet in
places so wear
proper footwear that's waterproof.
We will walk
at a decent pace of 4.5-5.0 km per
hour along a paved path 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.
DIFFICULTY: I'm not a speed
hiker and will
be
leading this at about 4.5-5.0 km/hr.
Please don't
sign up if you want to go faster.
No Shows: If you can't make
it
please remove
yourself from
the event by the cutoff time. Anyone
cancelling
after that
may receive a No Show.
WAITING LIST: If you are a
new member I
will try to get you on an event.
Otherwise, to
help make the waiting list
fair to everyone I will give
priority to people
who
regularly show up when they sign up.
