Itinerary:

NOTE 1: THE CARPOOL DEPARTS FROM DON MILLS SUBWAY STATION at 9:00 AM SHARP. NOTE 2: Regular subway service begins at 8:00AM on Sundays. Please utilize the Blue Night Bus Network if you will not be able to arrive before 8:50AM on the subway. (link to map here)

The intermediate trail is a part of the Oak Ridge Moraine with a terrain of rolling hills and sandy/clay trails.

We'll probably do a pace of somewhere between 4.0-5.0 km/h depending on trail conditions.

I plan to keep hiking until we reach approx. 15 KM, so if you sign up, be ready to to complete the entire route I have planned. NOTE: There are no washrooms in this park.

Pack a lunch as we will eat take a break on trail for lunch.

The master plan today is go for a meandering hike and have good conversations and get back in time for me to run an urban hike (a separate event).

Individuals willing to drive will get first priority on the wait list, if needed.

Also, if you sign up and say that you're 'Meeting At the Event,' it is expected that you are driving yourself to the trailhead and not coming to the carpool and that you will meet us there for 9:30am.

DRIVERS, WHEN YOU SIGN UP, PLEASE WRITE IN THE NOTES SECTION, THE AMOUNT OF PASSENGERS YOU CAN TAKE IN YOUR CAR, or else you may be moved to the wait list until this is completed!!!
