🌲 The Confederation Park Remembrance Day Ceremony & Parade starts at 10:00, so our Capital Hill walk will start at 11:30. The Confederation Park Nature Trails will give us some cardio to start, with easier elevation gain on the Trans Canada Trail to Hastings. Most of this walk is on park paths similar to the photo. The walk ends at Cockney Kings Fish & Chips, 6574 Hastings St., Burnaby.Elevation gain: 105 meters
Distance: 6.0km
Optional lunch at Cockney Kings Fish & Chips, 6574 Hastings St. (add 1 hour).
Optional walk back to the start (add 35 to 70 minutes depending on the route).
🍎 Please bring plenty of water.
📍 Meeting Spot: We are meeting at Confederation Park public restroom building, before 11:30AM for the walk.
If you want to attend the parade and ceremony, meet at the washroom building at 10:00AM.
Be sure to arrive early/on time. I do not have data and cannot check the app/fb page for comments if you are running late or changing your RSVP after 9:00. If you are running late and I have not heard from you, my assumption is that you are not coming and you will be marked as a no show. People with multiple no-shows will be removed from the group. We can wait for people running a couple of minutes late. If we leave before you arrive, you can catch up to us with a little effort.
🥾 Route: We will go through Confederation Park to Penzance @ Beta N, then clockwise around the nature trails north of Penzance. Penzance east to the Trans Canada Trail, following it to Hastings. We’ll cross Hastings at Fell and walk along the edge of Kensington Park to Kensington, and Hastings to Cockney Kings Fish & Chips to finish the walk.
Optional lunch at Cockney Kings.
Optional additional walk to return directly on Frances, or return the way we came.
🕒 This walk should be under 1.5 hours, and 6km not including the optional lunch and return walk. We will walk at an intermediate (4kmh) pace, and take microbreaks (~1min) at various junctions.
