Itinerary:

Please note the following:
1/ This is a longer hike than the ones I tend to do, and I would like to keep a steady pace of around 5km/h (with regular short breaks).
2/ There are some uphill gradients along the way.
3/ With 1 and 2 in mind, this hike is not suitable for slowpokes.

If you want an easier/shorter hike, please look out for more moderate hikes that I will be posting in the near future.

Meet at Hawrelak Park picnic shelter no.2 for this hike - this is the picnic shelter at the SW corner of Hawlerak Park, nearest the Buena Vista footbridge.
We will meet at 6:00pm for a 6:10 departure.

We will start by following the path on the east side of the river south towards Whitemud Park, passing the Whitemud Equine Centre (don't forget to say hello to the horses).

Once we reach the Whitemud Drive / Fox Drive area, we will join up with the trail up to Grandview Heights, enjoy the view from the top of the stairs, then walk down the stairs and return to Hawlerak Park via the way we came.

Please note the following:
1/ Dogs are also welcome on this hike - please remember to include your dog(s) when registering.
2/ I would like to maintain a brisk pace for this hike - approx. 5km/h (so that we can have some sort of workout), and there are a number of steeper grades encountered, so this event is not suitable for "slowpokes".

To recognise me at the meeting point, I will be wearing a yellow EOC cap, and standing by a grey Hyundai wagon.

Water

Event Directions:

Call/email me if you're unsure how to get to Shelter No. 2 at Hawrelak Park. It's the 2nd shelter near the Buena Vista footbridge (if you are driving around the Park, it is about two thirds of the way around the 'circuit' of the Park).
