SUNRISE HIKE - RIVERDALE TO THE
BEACHES
WOOT! Only four days to spring!
Let's welcome
the equinox, the Easter bunny AND St
Patrick
with an early morning
waterfront hike. What the heck, if
it's a beautiful morning
maybe we'll even do a few impromptu
sun salutations on
the beach. We'll meet at Broadview
Station
at 7am sharp + walk down to the lake
front
along
the Don Valley trail and then east
along Martin
Goodman trail to the Beaches and up
to
Victoria
Park station. Sunrise will be just
before 7:30
am
so if it is a clear morning we will
get some
picturesque views of the lake.
The trail will be
muddy and wet in
places so bring icers and wear
proper footwear
(no
running shoes).
We will walk
at a decent pace of 4.5-5.0 km per
hour so be
prepared to
stick with the group. (No racing
ahead as I
won't
be chasing after anyone who gets
lost). Dogs
are
welcome. There may be opportunities
to stop
for
photos but this is not a photo hike.
If you fall
behind please put your camera away.
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.
No Shows: If you can't make it
please remove
yourself from
the event by the cutoff time. Anyone
cancelling
after that
may receive a No Show.
WAITING LIST: If you are a new member I
will try to get you on an event. Otherwise, to
help make the waiting list
fair to everyone I will give priority to people
who
regularly show up when they sign up. People who
have trouble getting out to events they sign up
for and have dropped out a day or so beforehand
(for whatever reason) may be moved to the waiting
list for any other of my events they are on.
