Thanks to Kevin for providing the writeup for Wednesday’s walk:
Kevin, Rod, Hazra, Glenn, Brenda, and Alex showed up. Alex and Kevin walked Erickson, Cameron, Eastlake Dog Park to Production Way. The others also walked to Production but did “Kevin & Alex” turns a number of times. It was a beautiful fall night with a very bright moonlight.
After walking back to the mall parking lot Alex gave us apples he had picked.
Go Blue Jays!
Have a safe Halloween everyone.

Saturday’s writeup was done by Edie. Thank you Edie.
Len, Miriam, Liane, Kevin and Edie met at the PM Rec Centre at 8:15 for our walk. We went through Noons Creek Hatchery but did not spot any fish. Liane, Miriam and Edie walked to April Road while Len and Kevin walked a ways past the beach. All of us made our way to Rocky Point Ice Cream via the new boardwalk and had ice cream before returning to our cars. Distance for three was about 10 km and less for the two. Rain started as we left the ice cream shop and was fairly light until we reached our cars – then it got heavy. We were lucky to have a nice walk along the trails with the beautiful autumn colours – a little chilly but dry. We returned to our cars just before 11.
Go Jays!

On Wednesday evening Sandy, René, Brigitte, Alex, Edie, Glenn, Brenda, Hazra, Rod, Liane, and Larry walked from the mall along Cameron, Beaverbrook, Eastlake to Underhill and back, distance about 5.5 km and time about 1h25. Alex jogged most of the way from Lake City onwards along Underhill to Broadway, so his distance was 6.3 km. Again there was no rain so all was well.
My apology to Lorraine for mistakenly leaving her out my report for the Monday walk, as she was there and walked with us!

On Wednesday evening Kevin, Edie, Liane, Brenda, Glenn, Alex, and Larry walked from the mall onto Cameron, Beaverbrook, our fall/winter route on Eastlake to Underhill, and returned the same way, our distance about 5 km and time about 1h10. Alex jogged most of the way and did bobturns so his distance was at least 1 km greater.
