Itinerary: | |||||||
RouteWe'll be beginning at the Leslie TTC, walking quickly across town on the Finch hydro trail, cutting south along Derrydown Park, and ending just south of Downsview Park on Keele (5-10 minutes' bus ride to Wilson TTC). There will be a ~15 minute lunch break/pause in G. Ross Lord park. Expect to be done before 1500 hours (3PM). Terrain: Mix of paved, gravel, grass/dirt. Relatively flat. Warning: I have not hiked this entire route. There may be some slight detours or doublings back. We will be walking steadily at more than 5km/hr. Please do NOT sign up if you cannot sustain this pace for this distance. I may ask you for your recent experience walking at this pace if I do not remember you from previous hikes.

How to Get There: | |||||||
Event Directions: | We will meet at the Leslie TTC Sheppard and Leslie exit (see image below) and depart at 9am. I'll be the one with white-gray hair and glasses. It's up to you to plan ahead and arrive before the departure time.
Leslie is on Subway Line 4 (Sheppard). There is a 102-car parking lot at the station, but as this is a one-way hike, you would need to travel back to Leslie to fetch your vehicle if you park there. | ||||||
Notes: | |||||||
