Itinerary:

We will meet in the entrance of St. Clair subway station (St. Clair Avenue exit, south sidewalk, beside the McDonalds). We will try to follow this itinerary:

Depart from St. Clair station
Cross David Balfour Park
Explore houses around Summerhill street
Walk around Walker Street
Cross the Glen Edyth Drive Parkette
Follow the path toward Wiston Churchil Park
Cross St. Clair West Station
Follow all the way north throught Cedarvale Ravine
Arrive to Eglinton West Station
Follow the Belt Line
Pass beside the Mount Pleasant Cementery
Follow the Moore Ravine south
Follow the Vale of Avoca ravine north
Arrive back to St. Clair

This hike will be 16.1km, including Belt Line and Central Ravines Discovery Walk and more

The expected walking speed will be at mininum of 4km/hr (this is NOT a slow walk). In past editions, we have achieved 4.8K and 5.26K per hour. Since we are not in the forest, we can achieve faster speed. Consider this hike as an advance D3 or as a beginner D4.

Good Hiking footwear is mandatory, since we will be crossing some terrain difficult for "regular" shoes and we can not be slow down the pace of the group.

Notice that some part of the trail will be hiked without sun light, so bring your flash lights.

IMPORTANT: Please sign-un for this event ONLY if you are a WEATHER-Proof hiker. This event will run under the sun, the rain or the snow. We are in spring, that means showers. You must have a 100% commitment of assisting this event regardless of weather conditions.
