Itinerary:

So, I learned recently that Leslieville's infamous dollhouse has been put on the market.
I've never checked it out, so I figured today would be my day to do so.

This 10.5 KM hike will start at Chester Station and end at Greenwood Station.

The hike will be on a combination of sidewalks, paved park paths and single track dirt trail, with a bit of grass walkin'.

In terms of hills, there should be just one long staircase of about 25 meters.

I'll stop for a washroom break at a Tim Hortons, located about 4.5 KM into the hike.
If anyone needs to go in the beginning, I can stop about 1 KM into the hike as well, no probs.

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 an’t going to chase after you.
    2. Please no harassment, or else you won’t be welcomed back.
