Itinerary:

We will do a night hike on the Humber Heritage Valley Trail, 10 km out and back, for a total of 20 km. Pace will be 4 - 4.5 km/h. It's a good hike for night time, a lot of the blazes also have a reflector. It will be dark in the forest ... SPOOKY.

This hike is suitable for experienced intermediate or advanced hikers. It is not suitable for beginners. Previous D4 level experience is required. If you don't have a history with the TOC, please include some comments in the notes about your hiking background.

Note that a light is mandatory, headlight preferred. A whistle is also mandatory.

For passengers, note that when we return, the subway will be closed. Once we know who is coming, we'll work on a way of getting everybody home, either by returning participants to a station with suitable bus connections, sharing a cab, or other means.
