Itinerary:

Welcome to my Hike For A Pint Series, where we'll be walking to either a brewery or interesting pub in the city.
The group size will be capped based on either reservation size or however many people I think I can get into a location.

You must be 19 or older to sign up for this hike.

Today's 7 KM hike will traverse between Victoria Park Station to a mystery pub near the corner of Woodbine & Queen.

If you register for this event, I'm going to ask that you come to the pub because:

  • 1. you could be taking a spot away from someone on the wait list who otherwise wanted to attend.
  • 2. Also because I could have a reservation and they are expecting a certain amount of people.

    This hike will be on a combination of sidewalks, paved paths, gravel trails and boardwalks.

    In terms of hills, we'll have a 25 meter climb early in the hike, but the rest should be downhill.

    In terms of washrooms I'll stop at a Tim Hortons located about 2.5 KM into the hike.

    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'.

  • Hiking boots or hiking shoes
  • Water 1-2 L and snacks

    • How to Get There:
    Event Directions:

    Victoria Park Station is located on the Danforth Subway Line, 2 stops west of Kennedy & 11 stops east of Yonge Station.

    We'll just meet outside the Victoria Park Avenue entrance to the subway, which is beside the signal for the bus loop.
    If it is raining or cold, I'll just be in the station doors.

    For those of you driving, Victoria Park Station is located just north of Danforth Avenue.
    Address is 777 Victoria Park Avenue. In terms of parking, there is a commuter lot located just south of the station entrance.
