Today 60 Senior Hikers had a double treat, a brand new hike and a spanking new subway ride.
The unusual design of the new subway station at Pioneer Village
Waiting for our leader Charles Chaffey in the wrong place at the Station
Charles showed up and led the group to the correct spot
This more like it
Barry surrounded by "Bevy of Beauties"
Charles gave the group detailed information on today's hike
Leaving the station we headed towards York University Campus while experiencing a chilly wind
With no toilets at the brand new station, a stop at one of the University buildings was necessary
Nearby a sculpture depicting an Inuit Soccer Player. It was carved out of a 26 tonne rock!

The route
We owe a big thank you to Charles for taking us on a new hike that had a number of interesting features along the way. As usual he displayed care and consideration for the group. All in all a most enjoyable day despite the windy conditions. Thank you to Tonie for "Sweeping" so nicely and to Liliane for counting once again.
