Itinerary:

So, the random hike picker has selected this urban hike for today.
I'll do a shorter, easier hike for those of you don't want to walk very far.

This 4.5 KM hike will start at Glencairn Subway Station and end at Davisville Station.

The hike will be on a combination of paved paths and wide gravel trails

In terms of hills, there should be none

Post hike, I might treat myself to a butter tart and a coffee at Circles & Squares Bakery Café if anyone would like to join?

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS A SUBWAY CLOSURE ON LINE 2 BETWEEN KEELE STATION AND KIPLING STATION THIS WEEKEND

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 ain’t going to chase after y'all.
2. Please no harassment, or else you won’t be welcomed back.

Required Items to Bring:

Hiking boots / hiking shoes
