The AWA hiking group meets every Thursday of the month. Beautiful MacRitchie Reservoir is our “home” hike but we have started alternating that location with the Southern Ridges/Labrador Park. In order to give participants a good workout, we go on hikes between 10 and 15 km, to be completed at a quick pace in 2-2.5 hours, usually in a more natural, nonurban setting
We welcome all AWA members who are interested in doing a medium to advanced level excursion, as well as new leaders to guide hikes and explore new trails. We ask that hikers participate with appropriate fitness gear, such as old trainers or hiking boots suited to the often muddy terrain, a hat, sunscreen, insect repellant and plenty of water.
Currently, due to COVID restrictions, hiking groups can have up of eight participants, including the leader. Each week, one or two groups are arranged based on demand, with start times for each hike announced on the Hiking WhatsApp group a couple days before the outing.
