Don Valley Trail Trek

We are less than 2 months away from our climb!  As the date approaches we have been diligently training every weekend to prepare for the big day.  This past weekend we lucked out with sunny skies but had to deal with freezing temperatures.  Unfortunately Chrissy was ill; but Alice, Mary Catherine and I started out early in the morning and headed off for a day along the Don Valley Trail.  We walked through the city for a while and then entered the route just off of Bayview.  I ended up leading the girls astray and we went “off trailing” down a hill!  It was a close call; aside from a bit of sliding and one of us getting stuck in a tree we made it onto the main trail.   Thank goodness we will have a guide to keep us on track in Tanzania (lol).  The view along the trail was great; there were many other hikers, cross country skiers and people snow shoeing.  After 14 km we decided to end hour hike up at Don Mills and Eglinton.  Overall a very productive day of training!
