Description
Due to the overwhelming response for the September 5th hike, I will try to offer the trip again on Sep 26th (if there are no closures on the Kitchener GO Line on this date).
Join us for a day trip to Stratford on the GO Train. If you buy the Weekend Day Pass the return fare is just $10.00! We will hike along trails on both sides of the Avon River in Stratford including the Shakespearean Gardens. We'll have dinner in a local pub before departing Stratford on the 6:15 PM train. There will be the chance to enjoy the historic downtown as well as some relaxing time by the river as we'll have the full afternoon. Before registering please note that is a 2,1/2 hour journey on the train each way and there are no alternative GO services from Stratford other than the 6:15 pm train arriving back at Union Station at 8:40 PM.
Please advise in the additional information section in the registration form of you prefer going to a pub or dinner at a restaurant after the hike. There will be two groups or you’re free to choose your own place.
