    Pace: Moderate
    Terrain: Flat
    Distance: 11.3 km

    Description

    “Brisk morning walk from Castle Frank subway station to the end of the Beltline Trail, just west of Caledonia Road. Very warmish in the sun. Walked off without the water bottle I’d just filled. Not critical on a day like this but still would have been good to have it.

    “The start of the annual Moore Park Ravine Glacier. Bookended by the steeper Milkman’s Lane Glacier off Craigleigh Park. I am always impressed by the aesthetic sense shown by the city parks department when they put up fencing along the trails. Strong vibe of industrial waste zone.

    “Someone is decorating the trees along the path from The Brickworks north to Moore Park Avenue. That would be most of the pictures I took as I’ve done the route a thousand times, give or take a few.” Wayne Crockett, December 12th, 2020.

    Well, Wayne I have a little catching up to do. This will be my 2nd, so 998 more times to go, give or take a few. I chose this one of Wayne’s many urban hikes for this day to allow anyone wanting to attend the St. Pat’s Parade to be able to drop out at Oriole Park at 7 km, a short walk from Davisville Subway Station, and still be able to catch the parade which starts at 12 pm. Oriole Park will also be our lunch spot. Hikers will be able to walk over to the Tim Hortons across from the Subway. We will follow Wayne’s route except for a slight detour in Mount Pleasant Cemetery to visit the burial place of Glenn Gould and also the last resting spot of another valued and departed leader of our club, Jacqueline Holmes.

    I will not be doing the final 2 plus Km of beltline past Allan Road but diverting north through Viewmount Park to Glencairn Station (Line 1).

    The Route: https://onthegomap.com/s/8kt5jhve

    I will inform if icers are needed. Washrooms at the Brickworks at 2 km, Tim Hortons (Yonge & Chaplin Cres.) at 7 km, and Larry Grossman Forest Hill Memorial Arena at 9 km. Please don’t follow Wayne’s example and forget your water bottle.

    Drop out #1: 7 km Davisville Subway Station. Drop out #2: 9.6 km Bathurst St.
