Itinerary:

Note the departure time is changed to 8 am due to longer hikes, shorter days, longer time it takes to drive to hike location and for car shuttles. PLEASE CONSIDER SUNDAY Subway closures and modify your travel plans to ensure you arrive to the meeting point by 8 AM.

This is an all day hike. Hope to be back by evening. Don't sign up if you need to be back by specific time.

This hike will take us up through the Mono Cliffs Provincial Park and through the rolling hills into the Boyne Valley Provincial Park. There will be a few steep ascents and descents so make sure you have foot ware with good traction. Hopefully the views will offer us some remaining fall colours.

The hiking pace will be approximately 3.5 km per hour, slower pace on the uphills. I am a SLOW hiker, making frequent stops to take photos :) Please be prepared to respect my style of hiking. Thanks.

We will hike as a group, and thus, wait as necessary for everyone, If you think you'll have uncontrollable urges to be constantly on the move or to sprint ahead, this is NOT an event for you. Speedsters will be put at the back of the line.

Please ensure you can hike the distance over the uneven and steep hilly terrain, and at the specified pace BEFORE you sign up.

This hike involves a car shuttle, hike will be modified or postponed if not enough drivers sign up. Also, additional participants will be added as space permits.

If you're travelling by TTC to the carpool location, you're responsible for taking into consideration the TTC Sunday schedule, any service disruptions, etc in order to arrive on time. Also note, we will meet at the Passenger Pick Up location that's off Subway Crescent (not any other place at Kipling station.. ask TTC staff if you're not sure and need direction.

BE PREPARED: We will hike as a group. Again, if you think you may be sprinting ahead... don't sign up! We will be hiking rain or shine.
