Itinerary:

So, I was chatting with Ryan and he put up a challenge about doing a hike from Main Street Station to either Greenwood or Donlands Station area, but it had to be pretty short and D2 worthy.

So, since my Friday night yoga class has been cancelled due to Passover this weekend, CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!!

So this hike will go for just under 7 km from Main Street Station to Greenwood Station.

As this is a D2, it means we'll be walking at a slower pace for the event and no running ahead (its Friday, I'm tired and I'm biking halfway from work to the event), so please take notice when registering.

There's a pub around the end of the hike called 'The Wren' that I like to go to, so if anyone wants to come for a drink or something, you're welcomed to do so, but it's not part of the event.

We'll be in two ravines, the second could be a bit dark and a bit muddy, so please take care. No real steep hills , but there are a couple staircases to climb.
