EVENT DETAILS

So, on August 10th, I sprained my left ankle. I've spent the last month letting it heal and am ready to start hiking again.
However, I can't rush back into it, so I'm going to lead a few short/slow 'rehab' hikes as I begin to feel better.

So, today's 5 KM is just a short route from Davisville to Eglinton West Station.

This hike's pretty flat, which makes sense as the Belt Line used to be a railway.

There's won't be any washrooms along the way, but at Davisville I typically will do go to the Tim Hortons to use their facilities.

As I'm recovering from an injury, we'll aim for a slower pace of 3.5 to 4 KM/h

    For those of you driving, there's free street parking on the west side of Duplex Avenue, north of 34 Duplex. Duplex avenue is located one block west of Yonge street. See map below for more details.

    Look for me in the BLUE Toronto Outdoor Club shirt. Should it be cold or wet, then I'll be standing inside the subway doors.
