Different Angles from Phinney Green Beach

Hard to believe these are the same sea stack formations! See them with your own eyes, book a tour!

NS Walks Day 2024

Parrsboro had a great turnout for their walk this morning. We wrapped it up with a nice lunch at the Harbour View Restaurant. For the afternoon we headed down shore to West Advocate for a lively group of of adults and children! My heart is full! Thank you to everyone who helped make this dayContinue reading “NS Walks Day 2024”

West Advocate: Red Rocks

One of the major landmarks along the beach near the starting point of the Cape Chignecto Trail is the Red Rocks Formation. A little driving tour this afternoon had us climb these sandstone rocks, admire the patterns and striations and enjoy the stunning views from the top!

Clark Head in Flat Light…

Sharing my favourite local beach at the end of the day. We stopped under the arch and enjoyed a freshly made cup of coffee. The perfect way to end a slightly gloomy day!

New Season = New Tour Clients!

There is no better way to spend Sunday afternoon than with a fresh tour booking to officially kick off the 2024 season. Soley Cove beckoned and it was glorious! My happy client was glad she didn’t have to worry about the tides and when she should turn back to avoid being cut off. She welcomedContinue reading “New Season = New Tour Clients!”

Cape Chignecto: Bark Study

Up close and personal, bark layers.

Cape Chignecto: Tranquility

Catching my breath and enjoying the silence along the coastal trail, Saturday, April 27th, 2024

Cape Chignecto Landmark: Storyteller Tree

Between trail marker 27 and 28 km, just before or after the halfway mark, depending if one travels clockwise or counter-clockwise, this ancient, gnarly, attention-demanding sentinel calls the hiker to attention! Many a picture has been captured with this tree… many a story could be told if it could speak!

Refugee Cove

Refugee Cove with the Ol’ Sal Sea Stack is a place for rest, filtering water and prepare for the last 11 km to complete the coastal loop. Bittersweet! Looking forward to my own bed😊

No Monday Blues Here…

That’s my lunch stop today. Isle Haute in the distance floating between heaven and earth!

Off Grid!

Just a few images to keep you in the loop. I am well on my way by now sauntering counter-clockwise. I am doing the hike solo this year to get away from everyday noise and routines.

Hike or Saunter?

I spent yesterday dividing my time between reviewing the hiking supply list, a meeting with the Geopark manager and fitting back country hiking gear into my backpack. It weighs in at 30 lbs this year (including 2.5 litres of water and food for five days). It felt balanced and quite comfortable as I tried itContinue reading “Hike or Saunter?”

An Ounce of Prevention

Yes, that’s a tick. We recently pulled one off our black ShihTzu and that was my sign to kick my springtime prep into prevention mode. Much time during the winter was spent conducting research. Yes, you can purchase tick-repellent clothing but it’s only good for six wash cycles. Why spend all the extra money whenContinue reading “An Ounce of Prevention”

Giving Back

First impressions are great at Cochrane Road Beach in Port Greville. We truly love this beach for walks at high and low tide and anytime in-between. Waves leaping at the shore, gulls squawking overhead and an occasional bald eagle soaring high in the sky. Upon closer inspection we discover pieces of plastic, rope of varyingContinue reading “Giving Back”

Earth Day 2024

We had a fabulous turn out for the Earth Day hike to Clarke Head. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. John Calder for sharing his in-depth knowledge of the area and to geoscientist Louise Leslie from GeoLearn for providing answers to on-the-spot questions along the way. This was the first joint interpretive walk between theContinue reading “Earth Day 2024”

Earth Day Guided Hike Reminder

Looking forward to this special interpretive Earth Day hike. Due to illness Dr. Calder will not be attending. Instead local geoscientist Louise Leslie from GeoLearn will be sharing her knowledge and insights as we make our way to the Clarke Head arch.

Soley Cove Group Hike

Soley Cove called for the second time this week. Monday I took a geologist friend out for her first ever exploration. Today two groups came together: Parrsboro and Truro hikers joined together to discover the trek to the Redhead under grey skies. There were the usual first time ooohs and ahhhs and cameras were workingContinue reading “Soley Cove Group Hike”
