Meet at 10:00 AM in Leslie Station (Line 4 - Sheppard line), at the east end of Leslie Station, on the south-west corner of Leslie & Sheppard at street level.
We will walk north through the Don Valley Trail to Steeles Avenue where we can stop for a coffee. We will then return via a slightly different route to the start. There are limited choices for a lunch stop near the end (McDonald's, Starbuck's, Peking Man, Subway). Both Fairview Mall and Bayview Village are an addition 1.5 Km away.
The walk is about 13 Km, and is on paved multi-use paths, except for about 1 Km which is gravel/dirt. The gravel/dirt section can be bypassed via quiet residential streets.
