Itinerary:

So myself and another TOCers were exploring the cycling trails north of Crothers' Woods and they are really tough to hike, so I'm running the whole trail from Sunnybrook to Pottery Road for a good challenge.

NOTE: This is a D4 hike, so it will be faster and tougher than your average urban hike.

This is one the most difficult urban hike in the city. PLEASE TAKE THIS HIKE SERIOUSLY!!!

Those coming on this event should be prepared with hiking shoes/boots. Especially on days after rain, the trails can be very muddy.

We will follow this route

Start at Lawrence Station
East along the Brooke Creek
South through Sunnybrook
South along the Don Valley mountain biking trails and Crothers Woods
East on Pottery Road
South through Tobamorden Mills Park
South to Broadview Station

NOTE: If you do not bring hiking boot/hiking shoes, you may be turned away.

THIS IS AN OBSCURE LOCATION IN THE CITY, WITH LIMITED ACCESS TO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, SO IF YOU SIGN UP, PLEASE ENSURE YOU CAN WALK THE ENTIRE DISTANCE

Good footwear - Hiking boots/shoes highly recommended

Weather appropriate clothing

Look for me in the BLUE Toronto Outdoor Club shirt, possibly drinking a coffee.
