Parrsboro: Wednesday Winter Walks & Hikes

In January 2023 I started to offer free guided hikes following the Wednesday morning walks. There was always at least one interested hiker and we set about exploring together. As 2023 drew to a close I wasn’t sure if offering another three-months of guided hikes would be of interest. I couldn’t have been more wrong!Continue reading “Parrsboro: Wednesday Winter Walks & Hikes”

Blue Sky and Stunning Views…

…and an ice study along the way! My friend and I ventured up nearby Kirkhill today. We met with our goal of scouting a new hike destination. It’s official: This mid-week Winter hike will explore a 3 km loop on top of Kirkhill, a popular destination in the Parrsboro area.

New Trail Scouting Excursion

After yesterday’s storm it was time to get outside. I was also curious about the snow. As you can see in the images, there isn’t much white stuff around here. Back to scouting trails in general: When I activated my satellite communication device at the beginning of the month I received a six month freeContinue reading “New Trail Scouting Excursion”

Hike Nova Scotia Guided Winter Hikes – -#1 Hike in the Geopark

Thanks to Andrea and John for joining today’s hike to Wards Falls. It was the perfect day for exploring the trail, jump over a few fallen trees, carefully cross an icy creek, scramble up a steep cliff incline to take in the partially frozen falls!

Important Lessons…

…when planning events: Always scout your venues! That is exactly how I spent my afternoon. The upcoming “Three Waterfalls Hike” for Friday is in jeopardy due to several factors. When I planned the event in November I was certain we would have enough snow and cold temperatures to be able to cross creek without peril.Continue reading “Important Lessons…”

It’s The Little Things…

…we delight in during a grocery run. The light near Five Islands was magical and drew us is! Every second the light changed! So grateful for living in paradise! Happy Weekend to all!

I Get Excited…

…when I find out a friend who has lived in Parrsboro longer than we have and they have never been to a popular look-off. My friend Robyn and I decided to get out before the weather changed. Exploring Partridge Island was the goal. Robyn had never navigated the trail up or down. I am confidentContinue reading “I Get Excited…”

I started offering free hikes to Parrsboro Shore community members from January through March 2023. Building on last year’s popularity I am organizing more hikes from January through March 2024. We kicked the season off today by circling the Five Islands Estuary Trail Loop. Six humans and one canine enjoyed nature and each other’s company.Continue reading “First Winter Hike Recap in Pictures”

Happy New Year, one and all!!

We woke up to the best news from Germany! Meet Louis, our grand-nephew, and our very own New Year’s baby in the family. He ignored all the due-date estimations and followed through on my prediction of arriving on January 1st.🎉🎉🎉 I started the year out fulfilling a promise to myself: my annual pilgrimage to ClarkeContinue reading “Happy New Year, one and all!!”

The Cliffs are Disintegrating!

The annual scheduled birthday beach clean up with friends was cancelled due to the weather forecast. When I didn’t hear back from one of my out-of-town friends I decided to head to the beach and intercept him just in case. The road was wet! How wet? When the pine needles begin to form patterns youContinue reading “The Cliffs are Disintegrating!”

It’s Boxing Day … and the Beach is Calling!

After so much time in the kitchen and entertaining friends for the holidays I made sure to keep Boxing Day free! My invitation to like-minded friends was well-received: I had a full vehicle of people who were yearning to breathe in some fresh air, tromp through the woods and step onto a beach that hasContinue reading “It’s Boxing Day … and the Beach is Calling!”

Winter Solstice Blessings

Yesterday’s glorious sunset promised a beautiful day ahead. Well, Mother Nature had a different idea. We woke up to strong winds and grey sky. Friends who had expressed interest in participating in the hike decided against battling the elements. The fact that there is no such thing as bad weather when one has proper clothingContinue reading “Winter Solstice Blessings”

Two more sleeps…

…until the guided Winter Solstice Hike to Clarke Head. At this time there are no registrations. It does not deter me. I am packing and getting ready. I recently invested in some audio visual accessories to capture video of my hike destinations. No matter whether I hike solo on Thursday or others join me atContinue reading “Two more sleeps…”

Winter Wind!

The weather predictions are real: it has been very windy all day, a typical pre-winter day with rain and wind. I couldn’t resist stopping at First Beach on the way home from appointments. Enjoy!

Storm in the forecast

Monday’s forecast predicts storm activity. I love a good storm with great wave action… let’s see if I can capture some new video footage. Stay tuned!
