HIGH PARK TO LITTLE ITALY!

Don't you love sad stories with happy endings? I heard about this small Irish pub that got burgled badly. And it's a wonderful little place, with almost as many craft beer taps (27) as seats. Anyway, some of the beer suppliers decided to help them out and so this weekend the pub is having a fund raiser. We can help out by showing up to enjoy $5 pints....

I'm keeping the group small so we have a chance of getting a seat, so please do not take a spot if you can't stay for a beer afterwards.

We'll meet in front of the McDonalds at Runnymede + Bloor + follow this route:
  1. Start at Runnymede Subway Station, outside the McDonalds, which is on the north- east corner of Runnymede and Bloor.
  2. South along Kennedy Ave.
  3. East to High Park via The Palisades and Valleymede Rd.
  4. South through high park to the waterfront trail.
  5. East along the waterfront trail to Spadina
  6. North to College/Little Italy and $5 pints...

Total Distance Covered 12 KM. We will walk at a decent pace of 5.0 -5.5 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 but may not get into the pub without ID

No Shows: If you can't make it please play fair and remove yourself from the event ASAP so the waiting list moves. Anyone cancelling after the cut off time will receive a No Show.
