DON VALLEY/EARL BALES

28 Seniors kept the clubs edict of hiking all year round no matter what the weather by meeting at York Mills for a snow trek lead by Rosemary Wood

Looking for Paul Monk, bloody hell there he is over there!
  
Putting on those pesky Icers

Video trudging through the Don Valley Golf Course, no clubs, just sticks! 





Stopping to fix them there icers

 Peek a Boo, I see you

Walk around the reservoir 


Saying Hi to Frosty as we enter Earl Bales Park

Ah! the peace and tranquility of the woods



Pausing to view the skiers 

This one certainly observed the sign

Up the bloody hill to lunch at the Community Centre

Warm up and satiated and ready to go


Leaving the Community Centre

Happy together

Up the hill of the Hinder Property



Dragon our feet through York Cemetery

Something to mark your grave!

The few remaining hardy types put on their happy alcoholic faces at the Frog & Firkin. A surprise visit from the recuperating Kevin Doyle was an extra joy. My kind of guy, when you are looking to get back hiking, start at the end and not the beginning!

I mapped close to 9 km, others quite a bit more!

Thank you to the South American hatted leader, Rosemary for what will possibly be the highlight of this years winter hikes. She was so diligent checking out the trail several times with Doris, the Iron Lady, before today. Good to see Liliane and thanks for counting once again. Rare to see Ann Atkins bringing up the rear by volunteering to Sweep! She is so talented.
