What a beautiful day for a bunch of Seniors', all 65 of us met at the Old Mill Station. A change in the planned route was necessary due to being barred from using the washroom facilities at the Old Mill Spa & Inn. Instead of starting our hike up the west side of the Humber we went up the east side where the public washrooms were located. Barry led the hike while I flitted about taking photo's

A perfect place for Liliane to count

After another 1.5 km the busy Dark Horse Pub was a welcome sight despite the lousy service
Thanks to my good neighbour, Barry, for leading the pack and to Rene & Tony for volunteering to Sweep. Liliane had her easiest counting duties but always deserves a pat on the back
