On Wednesday evening Brenda, Glenn, Brigitte, Judith, and Larry walked from the mall to the Stoney Creek trail through to North Road and returned the same way, meeting Norman Lum and his pup Rusty along the way. Nice to see Norman!
It was well into dusk by the time we exited the trail, so that will probably be the last evening walk on the trail this year (sob!).
Our distance was 5.5 km and time was about 1 hour.
