Itinerary:

This is a route I've seen other volunteers do and now I to try it. It's decently challenging with 2 tough hills as well as a long staircase.

In terms of walking, we'll be on some ravine trails, some roads, an abandoned railpath as well as some single track trails.

Route

  • Over to Glen Rd., head north
  • Down through Chorley Park & Brickworks to abandoned railway line
  • East through Crothers Woods to Beechwood Dr.
  • South through side streets then down Pottery Rd.
  • South along Bayview Ave, meet up with Betline Trail and Milkman's Lane

We'll probably aim for a pace of 4.5 km/hr.

This hike will start and end at Castle Frank subway station. The total distance should be roughly 11 km (give or take 1/2 km).

    Event Directions:

    Castle Frank Subway Station is located on the Bloor Subway Line, two stops east of Yonge Station.

    Please exit via the Castle Frank Road Exit. I'll be standing (or possibly sitting)in the main foray near the collectors/ticket booth (Look for me in the BLUE Toronto Outdoor Club shirt) If you exit through the other one that leads out to Bloor, ya won't find me.
