Itinerary:

So, I'm meeting a few friends downtown to watch some real football.
I could just take the transit, but I might as well detox a bit before I heavily retox this afternoon.

Today's 9 KM hike will start at Eglinton West Station and end at Queens Park Station.
For those of you who don't want to do the entire hike, here's a few drop off points for your convivence:
-2.5 KM at St. Clair West Station
- 7 KM at Bay Station

The hike will be on a combination of sidewalks, paved park paths, wide gravel paths and single track dirt trails.

In terms of hills, there's one switchback of about 25 meters.

I'll attempt to stop for a washroom break at Sir Winston Churchill Tennis club, located about 3.5 KM into the hike.

For those unfamiliar with how I lead my hikes.

  • If you see me walking at a certain pace, you don’t have to walk at the same pace as me (I like to talk to different people on a hike, so I walk I different paces)
  • If you’d like to walk faster than me, that’s cool, if you like to walk slower than me, that’s cool too
  • We’ll meet up as a group when we take a major turn, cross a major intersection or if I think the group is getting too far separated.
  • We’ll do a water break, breather and sure everyone is aliver
  • I have two requests:
    1. If you choose to walk in front of me and you don’t know where you’re going, please stop and wait as I an’t going to chase after you.
    2. Please no harassment, or else you won’t be welcomed back.

    • How to Get There:
    Event Directions:

    Eglinton West Subway Station is on the Line 1, 4 stops north of St. George & 5 stops south of Sheppard West and is located at Eglinton West and Allan Road.

    Look for me at the only entrance of the station.

    For those of you driving, Eglinton West Station is located at the end of the Allen Road at Eglinton.
    Address is 1300 Eglinton Avenue West
    There aren't really many parking lots in the area, so I would just suggest using street parking on the roads north of the station.
