MT. PLEASANT TO THE LAKE

Eighty One Members joined Rene at Davisville Station for the 11 km hike down to the Keating Channel.


Before entering Mt. Pleasant Cemetery Rene gave the group an overview of today's hike



The Cemetery as usual was pleasant to walk through



Entering the Avoca Ravine provided more of a work out








The multi-tasking group!


"I need a Hand"



We soon found easier going in the David Balfour Park




Before crossing the busy Mt. Pleasant Road Stanley took a breather


Safely across


Rene then led us on a short walk through  Craighleith Gardens in Rosedale to the Bloor St. Viaduct






Over the bridge and south for lunch at the impressive Bridgeport Hospital


We sat on the 10th floor having our lunch admiring the views and the beautiful roof garden



Wake up Stanley!





A reflection of friendship


I couldn't resist photographing the interesting metal sculptures at the hospital entrance 





Lunch over it was down the Don Trail. No Rene is not going the wrong way


A brief diversion through Corktown Common before rejoining the trail



Towards the end of the trail we came across this Street Artist


We reached the Keating Channel Pub for a much deserved libation

Some not so happy!
