Itinerary:

NOTE: MY CELL PHONE CURRENTLY DOES NOT WORK, IF YOU NEED TO GET A HOLD OF ME, PLEASE EMAIL ME.

So myself and another TOCer were exploring the cycling trails north of Crothers' Woods and they are really tough to hike, so I'm running the whole trail from Sunnybrook to Pottery Road for a good challenge.

NOTE: This is a D4 hike, so it will be faster and tougher than your average urban hike. We will try to do a pace of a minimum 5 km/h

This is one the most difficult urban hike in the city. PLEASE TAKE THIS HIKE SERIOUSLY!!!

Those coming on this event should be prepared with hiking shoes/boots. Especially on days after rain, the trails can be very muddy.

We will follow this route

  1. Start at Lawrence Station
  2. East along the Brooke Creek
  3. South through Sunnybrook
  4. South along the Don Valley mountain biking trails and Crothers Woods
  5. West on Pottery Road and the Brickworks
  6. North through the Moore Ravine
  7. West through the Mount Pleasant Cemetery
  8. West along the Belt Line
  9. End at Davisville Subway Station

NOTE: If you do not bring hiking boot/hiking shoes, you may be turned away.

THIS IS AN OBSCURE LOCATION IN THE CITY, WITH LIMITED ACCESS TO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, SO IF YOU SIGN UP, PLEASE ENSURE YOU CAN WALK THE ENTIRE DISTANCE
