HIKE FOR VEGETARIAN FOOD

It's winter and there's nothing better than a good hike followed some yummy vegetarian food ... PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP IF YOU ARE NOT COMING FOR FOOD AFTER!

Total distance will be 8 km and we will pick up the pace a little to 5.5 km/h so we get to the restaurant in time. We'll start at Castlefrank Subway Station and from there our route will be:

  1. North up to Brickworks, loop around to access the Don Valley Trail
  2. Short cut from Millwood down to Danforth where we'll go for dinner.


Who knows what kind of weather we may get, so be prepared that this hike will go ahead unless there's a hurricane or tornado. Bring rain gear! If it starts to rain we will leave the ravines and head to a roadway. The trail may be muddy, wet or icers in places so wear proper walking footwear AND BRING ICERS. We will walk at a quicker pace of 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).

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 for messing around the organizers, the waiting list and the restaurant!! Sorry! Not liking the weather is no excuse :-)
