Itinerary:
A nice, relatively flat hike across the city with one hill towards the end of the hike. I'm hoping to walk a moderate pace. The whole hike should be about 9 km.

It's a good idea to bring traction devices (icers)

This hike is for people who want to go at slow but steady pace.

1. Meet at Victoria Park Station (inside the station near the ticket booth)
2. Hike along Taylor Creek Park
3. Go south along the Don Valley Trail
4. Up Pottery Road
5. Through some lovely East York neighbourhoods
6. End at Chester Station

Please arrive on time as we will be leaving at 7:05 and I will be turning off my phone during the hike.
