This is our longest walk of the year, but there are many early drop-out points. For the eighth time, David G. will lead us on a walk from St Clair Station (Yonge Line) through the Vale of Avoca, to the Brickworks, up Moore Park Ravine, through Mount Pleasant Cemetery, along the Belt Line, through Cedarvale and Nordheimer Ravines, and down the Casa Loma stairs to Dupont Subway station. Light hiking shoes or boots, suitable for gravel multi-use paths would be appropriate.

Meet at 10 AM at St Clair Subway Station (Yonge Line), at the exit on the south side of St Clair East, at street level. (This is just east of the south-east corner of Yonge & St. Clair). Total distance to Dupont Station is approximately 16 Km, but there are alternate drop out points with access to transit. Break points and early exit points at:

  • Evergreen Brickworks (3.7 Km) - bathroom stop
  • Davisville Station (7 Km) - early exit to subway, and coffee/bathroom break
  • Eglinton West Station (11.5 Km) - early exit to subway
