Write Up:
14 of us* took advantage of a lovely spring day to take a nice stroll! Our hike lasted 2 hours, and we walked for about 9 km. Our route deviated slightly from the original plan, as we took a bit of a shortcut from Queen Elizabeth park into the Mill Creek Ravine, missing the Muttart Conservatory. However, we decided to add a bit of distance later on, continuing through the Mill Creek Ravine to 68th Ave (rather than stopping at 76th Ave as planned)., then following 68th Ave to 98th St., working our way back up to Whyte Ave. I believe that these changes to the route added about 1 km to our distance, which meant that our hike was approximately 9-10 km in total length.

Afterwards, 8 of us had coffee/lunch at the Block 1912 Cafe.

Thanks all for coming out. See you at the next event!
