44 Hares and 7 Turtles greeted a cloudy but milder day of +3 degrees. There was some concern about the conditions underfoot caused by the ice melting and re-freezing. It was recommended that the dreaded icers be the order of the day
Evelyn & Patricia led the Hares imparting the knowledge of the trail and what to expect during the day
Patricia points to the way forward
It's not often that the Turtles set off from the same starting point. It was a pleasure to see them
Waiting for a few delayed by the TTC

Crossing Lawrence Avenue
Down the Leaside Spur Trail
Lunch this way
Leaving Loblaws
Passing the Aga Khan Museum
Evelyn dons her icers, Stanley takes a nap and Tony is still hungry
Out they come and on they go
Ready for the steep hill to the East Don Trail
Patricia takes the hill in her stride
Checking out the water levels marked by the various suspended stones
Stanley's raring to go after his nap
Bridge over a Tunnel
Crossing onto the Moccasin trail
Gotta love the tunnels
Getting there
Crossing Don Mills Road to the finishing line
A Hike Leaders welcome
Yours truly enjoying a pint of Austrian Stiegl
Wendy likes her exotic drink with a head on it!
Another excellent winter hike in the books. Evelyn and Patricia will no longer be known as new leaders, just a couple of old leaders that have passed the test of time. Well done Ladies, thanks to Kevin for being the ever patient Sweep and Tony for the numbers
