BELTLINE/CEDARVALE/WYCHWOOD/SPADINA GDNS

It was a warm humid day for Rene to lead 64 members on a most interesting walk through various parts of the city


Rene giving everyone the details along with the do's and don'ts of hiking etiquette


"Now what she on about"


"Got it made in the shade" along the Beltline


Step-pin out with Stan


When you gotta go you gotta go!


Leaving the Beltline we traversed a few streets crossing Eglinton before we reached Cedarvale Park. We stopped to admire Dorit's umbrella with a shady character in the forefront.




Jill was turning left!



Meeting up with other "Walkers"


Now he's my best friend


Climbing up to lunch at Loblaws on St. Clair


Stanley making a "Bee Line" for a seat at Loblaws.


After lunch Rene took us on a circular tour of the exclusive area of Wychwood Park


The original home of Marshall McLuhan, famous for his media theory


The pond created by damning Taddle Creek


Controversial new home in the style of Frank Lloyd 


Passing the crowds at Casa Loma


Entering Spadina Gardens



Some took a break while others viewed the beautiful garden








Adam with Mum, Yolanta posing in the garden


Down the steps into Sir Winston Churchill Park



Before reaching the Republic of Rathnelly our beloved leader took a tumble in Popular Plains Park but with a few scrapes she was up and on her way to the Pub for some liquid medicine.




After the heat of day it was a delight to take the last few steps into the Quail Pub on Yonge St






Yours truly downing his first pint but is unable to keep with the "Champion Chugger of Ireland" and the "Cranberry Queen"


"Pint Size Patricia" trying everything


This how we got to the Pub


Thank you Rene, even though you fell down on the job, you took everyone on a memorable day out
