Itinerary:

So, I've randomly selected a hike out of my personal urban hiking database for today's hike.

This 12 KM will traverse between Castle Frank & Victoria Park Station.

PACE: We'll aim for a quicker pace of 4.5- 5.5 km/h

The hike will be on a combination of neighbourhood sidewalks, gravel trails, multi use park paths, single track dirt trail.
Heck, even an abandoned railway track at one point. So, a little bit of everything.

In terms of hills, we'll have a 50 meter climb and 2 x 25 meter climbs.

Sadly, there won't be any washrooms availble on this hike, nor are there any at the beginning or end.

I usually carry a pair of icers with me from the first snowfall of the year until the end of April, so I recommend having a pair in your pack to deal with any potential ice.
You can find the pair I use, 'here from Amazon'.

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

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

Let's meet at the Castle Frank Road Exit. If its cold or wet, then I'll just be inside the station doors.
That exit is the eastern exit from the platform, also the one with the escalator.
If you don't know where the eastern side of the platform is, then follow the direction of the eastbound train.

For those of you driving, Castle Frank Station is located on the north-west corner of Bloor & Castle Frank Road.

on the south side of Mackenzie Avenue, which is located one block north of Bloor, east of Castle Frank Road
or the north side of Dale Avenue, located 2 blocks north of Bloor, also east of Castle Frank Road
