Itinerary:

We will be walking the Humber river path from Old Mill to just pass James Garden and back. I love this walk as in parts it is hard to tell you are in the city. It is very sheltered from the wind but we will lose the sun quickly in the afternoon. If we are lucky a fresh snow fall will make it a winter wonderland. Pace will be moderate according to condition of path. (6 km) Afterward we can warm up at a restaurant in The Bloor West village. (few hundred yards east) Or we can go to the exquisite Old Mill Restaurant beside the park.

Required Items to Bring:
Warm cloths that match the weather. Solid foot wear as the paths may be icy. Some water and a snack as there are no stores on path.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
Good sense of humour and a mild sense of adventure.
