Itinerary:

So, I'm doing a brand new hike today, which is nearly completely new for me.
Its an urban hike in a area of the city, I would like to know a little better.
Since its my first time leading this hike, expect a few mistakes, but I will learn for the future.

This 7.5 KM hike will both start and finish at Mimico GO Station.

The hike will be on a combination of sidewalks, grassy fields, paved park paths and single track dirt trails

In terms of hills, I know that there's a least 1.
However, I haven't been here before, so I can't be sure.

I'll attempt to stop for a washroom break in Humber Bay Park West about 2.5 KM into the hike.
