Itinerary: |
HIKE FOR $5 PINTS
So this is one of my favourite urban hikes (especially with $5
pints of craft beer at the end!) We'll meet in front of
the McDonalds
at
Runnymede +
Bloor + follow this route:
- Start at Runnymede Subway
Station, outside the
McDonalds, which is on the north
east corner of
Runnymede and Bloor.
- South along Kennedy Ave.
- East to High Park via The
Palisades and
Valleymede Rd.
- South through High Park to the
waterfront
trail.
- East along the waterfront trail
to the
downtown core, stopping for $5 pints of craft beer and food.
Please do
not sign up if you
are not coming to socialize afterwards!
- There is no point #6. (Points for creativity if you suggest
something in the Notes when you sign up...)
Total Distance
Covered 9 KM. Dogs are
welcome but can't go into the pub.
DIFFICULTY: We will be hiking in a group at
about 4.5
km/hr and everyone must stay within earshot of
the group for safety reasons. There is no telling in
advance
how icy,
muddy or wet the trails may be, so please come prepared with
icers (traction devices) and good hiking boots. If you have
poor
night vision also remember a flash light. :)
NOTE... If you are new to my hikes.
Weather: hikes go ahead rain or shine, so if
that's
not for you,
check the forecast the week before + remove
yourself
well in advance of the cutoff. Food +
craft
beer: Yum! These often
show up on or after my hikes, I'm a
international beer
judge and foodie. Bring extra cash just in case! Last min
dropouts: Please don't! People
who sign up for loads of events + then frequently drop out may
be removed. :(
Dogs are usually welcome!
NO SHOWS: Anyone cancelling
after the Registration Cut Off will receive an
automatic no show
MINIMUM PARTICIPANTS Unfortunately if we fall
below the
minimum
number of participants the hike may be cancelled.
