The terrain is variable with some hills. Length of hike is 25 km, pace will be 6+ km/h.

This is a challenging "in and out" hike intended to give advanced hikers a good workout. Hikers coming on this event must have D5 level experience and be able to hike 6+ km/h continuously over variable terrain. Hikers will be able to go at their own pace. There will be no dropouts. Only those who meet the criteria will be allowed on the event.

The trail follows West Duffins Creek that winds through a riparian habitat, all within Pickering. You can find a map here: Seaton Trail.

When we return to Toronto, we'll all go to Casa Imperial for Dim Sum.

Reservations will be made for 1:30 pm. Please note that because of reservations, last minute cancellations will make things difficult for me, so please don't sign up unless you are reasonably sure that you will be able to come, and if you must cancel, do so as early as possible.
