This D4 hike will be 24 km along a mix of gravel and paved and dirt paths, maintaining a moderate pace of about 5+ km/h.

There will be some hills to climb. The terrain is variable.

Some of the hike will be along the waterfront right beside the beach, which you may want to walk on.

Don't get left behind! Please arrive early, we will start promptly, and I will turn off my cell once we begin hiking.

How to Get There:
Event Directions:

If coming by transit, allow lots of time. Last time I started an event from this location, a few people were very late, and of course we were long gone by the time they arrived.

BY TRANSIT: Take the 54A Bus from Lawrence East RT Station or Eglinton Station. It should take you one hour from Eglinton Station, or 30 minutes from Lawrence East Station.

Alternately, you can take the 86D Scarborough Bus from Kennedy Station. It will take you about 25 minutes from Kennedy Station. Please note that the 86D bus only comes every 30 minutes!

BY CAR: Park on a side street near the start of the hike.
