Itinerary:

the long hike has been postponed for this year The hike venue has been changed to a shorter and more enjoyable hike

In order to allow more people to join this hike we have decided to postpone the long hike until next year when there will be more daylight to allow for a full day of hiking. Also, the weather in November is too unpredictable and there is no short turn home.

distance: 14Km

We've decide to hike the always lovely Hockley Valley, near Caledon, Ont. More details to follow but this should be a much more forgiving hike of about 5 hours length or less, depending on factors such as the weather. The pace will be moderate to steady, and there will be few breaks in order to complete the 5 hour loop. Carpool will be at one location - Downsview station at Sheppard and Allen rd. DEPARTURE time is 9:35 so if will take longer than 30 minutes to get to Downsview by subway, you may want to contact TTC for a route to get you to Downsview on time.
