36 Brave Souls made the trip to the far reaches of the West End in frigid weather conditions. Mary Ayers, todays leader, met the group at the LCBO on Burnhamthorpe Rd
Mary led the group down to a suitable spot for todays itinerary
Essentially the walk followed the Elmcrest and Etobicoke Creeks with lunch at the Centennial Park Conservency
Time to "get going" heading south to Neilson Park
Arriving at the Neilson Park Art Centre it was time for a washroom visit and a chance to view the local artwork before retracing our steps going north
The Elmcrest Creek
Crossing Bloor Street
Mike 'The Mummy" shows the way
After we reached Burnhamthorpe Rd again we continued north to Rathburn Road
Crossing Rathburn Rd we reached our lunch spot. The warmth of the Greenhouse and the spectacular
Chrysanthemum flower display was indeed a welcome sight

Be ever so careful
Up the steps and on to the Pub
Having a warm and a pint at the Markland Pub
No matter the weather, with the right attitude and clothing one can enjoy the outdoors in winter. Those that participated today prove that fact. Mary, as usual, led the hike in a competent and caring manner while Liliane did her usual count and Kevin did his regular sweep duty. Thank you to Rene, Bea and Doug for sending the additional photos for inclusion
