EVENT DETAILS

So, I've randomly selected a hike out of my personal urban hiking database for tonight's hike.

This 13 KM hike will travel between Islington Station to Old Mill Station.

Interesting spots include

  1. 'The Mimico Creek'
  2. 'The Humber Bay Arch Bridge'.
  3. 'The Nieghbourhood of Swansea'

PACE: We'll aim for a quicker pace of 4.5- 5.5 km/h

The hike will be on a combination paved paths, neighbourhood sidewalks, single track dirt trails, gravel paths and concrete overflow tables.

In terms of hills, there should be about 4 with a set of challenging stairs as well.

We'll attempt to use the washroom located in Humber Bay Park, about 7.5 km or 1.5 hours into the hike. I'm hoping its open.
There is also one located in the mall beside Islington Station.
