Itinerary:

So, the random hike picker has selected this urban hike for this evening.

This 5 KM hike will both start and finish at Victoria Park Station.

The hike will be on a combination of paved park paths, sidewalks and gravel paths.

In terms of hills, there should be one climb of about 25 meters.

I'll attempt to stop for a washroom break about 1 KM into the hike in Taylor Creek.

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:

Flashlight / Headlight

Hiking boots / hiking shoes

Weather appropriate clothing

Water

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

Victoria Park Station is located on the Danforth Subway Line, 2 stops west of Kennedy & 11 stops east of Yonge Station.

We'll just meet outside the Victoria Park Avenue entrance to the subway, which is beside the traffic signal for the bus loop.
If it is raining or cold, I'll just be in the station doors and up the stairs.

For those of you driving, Victoria Park Station is located just north of Danforth Avenue.
Address is 777 Victoria Park Avenue. In terms of parking, there is a commuter lot located just south of the station entrance.
