FOODIE HIKE TO THE BRICKWORKS

The Saturday farmers' market at the Brickworks is pretty fantastic - here's a quick list of some of the vendors and the yummy stuff they have for sale. Check here to see what's in season. And if the food doesn't tempt you, there's always loads of other stuff going on, including a climbing wall, courtesy of Outward Bound... and more Activities

This will be a fun hike, we'll be starting at 9am so we should be at the Brickworks at the latest by 10:30 am. Our route will start at Chester TTC, from there we'll walk to access the Don Valley Trail up to Crothers Woods + then walk through Rosedale to the Brickworks. After a 45 stroll around the market I'll be walking up to the TTC. If you want to stick around and make your own way back there's a bus that goes to Davisville, and a shuttle that runs to Broadview. Or you can walk 1-2km to Castlefrank TTC with me. Note... I will happily hike in the rain and snow. If that's not for you, please check the forecast the morning before + remove yourself before the cut off!

Total distance will be approximately 8 km at a speed of 4.5-5 km/hr. I've posted this as a D2 because it's a short hike but the speed will be more like a D3. There are a couple of hills, and the trail can get pretty muddy at times.

NO SHOWS: Anyone cancelling after the Registration Cut Off will receive an automatic no show
