Itinerary:

NIGHT HIKE: High Park to Union

So this is one of my favourite of Fletcher's urban hikes. 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.
Travel east to Union Station

Total Distance Covered 10 KM. Dogs are welcome. Following the hike there will be an optional trip to a nearby pub for those who want hot chocolate or a beer.

ICERS: If you want to come on a winter hike with me, you must bring a pair of icers in your pack. You won't have to use them very often, but when it is icy on the trail, you'll need them. The icer is held to your boot with a set of Velcro straps, and keeps you from slipping and sliding on the ice. You can purchase decent icers at MEC or Canadian Tire. If we are hiking at night I will also expect you to have a headlamp or flashlight.

DIFFICULTY: I'm not a speed hiker and will be leading this at about 4.5-5.0 km/hr. Please don't sign up if you want to go faster.

PRIORITY: Since so many newer members are saying they can't get on events I will give them priority so they have a chance to become involved in the club. I'm keeping the group small for now, but may add more if other volunteers sign up.

NO SHOWS: Please remove yourself from the event before the cutoff to avoid a No Show.

Required Items to Bring:

Good footwear with treads (no running shoes!)
Icers
Water 1-2 L and snacks
Flashlight or headlight
