We’ve been waiting for this all winter…July is here, and
unfortunately so is the heat and the haze. We shouldn’t complain we should get
out there and enjoy it while we can.
I noticed the difference in temperature and humidity this
Saturday as 6 of us met at the Grenadier at 7am to walk. We were there for a variety of reasons – beat the
heat, places to go and things to do, had a long distance to do. Regardless of our reason for being there
early, it was great to have company. We
had approximately 1.5 hours to walk before meeting up with the other group at
the foot of the hill at the Lakeshore. Rorie suggested that we go straight down
to the lake. Good idea…cool and peaceful.
We walked west to the gazebo and back completing approx 8k
by the time we met up with the other group. We lost a few from the 7am group and gained 6
more from the 8am group, and walked out to the gazebo, again. It was remarkable
how much warmer and more humid it was on our second time out there. We were
happy to head back up the hill to High
Park ’s shady paths and
roads, and of course, to breakfast.
