Today our intrepid leader was Dorit and is seen her looking lovely as ever
66 members met at the Pleasant Blvd end of St. Clair Station
At the steps to David Balfour Park Dorit gives the group their orders for the day, Tony A volunteering to count and Elena as the sweep
And we're off!
Crossing the park for a early pee break (no photo's available)
Bladders emptied we descended into the ravine
We reached Mt. Pleasant Rd stopping for a water break and for the group to close ranks
We then walked through the "posh" streets of Rosedale to the busy Rosedale Valley Road. Dorit is seen here setting the pace as we head towards Bayview Avenue
We entered Wellesley Park and found our way barred at the steps
Dorit was concerned as the steps were open yesterday. Not to worry, Charles led a bushwalking foray up the hill making the hike that much more memorable
After a short walk we reached our lunch spot at Riverdale Farm and met up with the Turtles
The past meets the present, as seen here, standing rather presidential so to speak
Tony A pointed out this commemorative plaque in the Necropolis Cemetery. He wants a similar one to be remembered by as long as they are on sale
After lunch we kissed the Turtles goodbye and headed down through Riverdale Park
Then, down the steps on to the Don Trail
"Steppin' Out" along the Don Trail
Interesting and colourful graffiti
Barrelling through the Distillery District and smelling the flowers along the way
Walking through the Distillery gave us the urge for alcohol at the aptly name pub, "On the Rocks"

About 30 people wet their whistle including these two "Old Codgers"
The group showed their appreciation with a boisterous cheer to a thirsty Dorit for todays enjoyable hike
Here's how we did it
