Had to check: Clarke Head is still standing…

…which is vital for our upcoming Summer Solstice Sunset Hike! Had a great outing this morning, drizzle and chilly wind included. The weather for Wednesday is very promising. I have a couple spots open, so if you have held off to register contact me soon to reserve your spot! Here is the direct link toContinue reading “Had to check: Clarke Head is still standing…”

Bushwhacking Required…

It was time to discover new beach territory today. This beach access is not for the faint of heart. The ground was very uneven, boggy and covered with high grass making us second guess each step. A little creek merged with the rough, almost completely overgrown foot path. I must admit, if I had beenContinue reading “Bushwhacking Required…”

Cape Chignecto Provincial Park Hike – Instalment 2

After 15 km of ascends and descents through springtime woodlands on Friday and a chilly night below the full moon, we woke up early to frost-kissed leaves. Brian estimated that it got to -3 to -5C. I believe it… the way the cold kept creeping up from my lower back to my shoulders was annoying.Continue reading “Cape Chignecto Provincial Park Hike – Instalment 2”

Still Hiking: Refugee Cove Review

Assuming our hike continues on schedule we are overnighting close to this scenic setting, the sea-stack referred to as Ol’ Sal. This is our last night on the trail. The last leg of the hike starts tomorrow morning and takes us up 500 meters, the second highest cliff along this coastal stretch. A good night’sContinue reading “Still Hiking: Refugee Cove Review”

Coastal Views From Cape Chignecto Provincial Park

Assuming all went well my friends and I have set up camp somewhere near Little Bald or Big Bald by now, fixing our second dinner and looking forward to a restful night without chilly toes😊. The images I share tonight are all from Cape Chignecto captured during our April day-hike to Refugee Cove. Happy weekendContinue reading “Coastal Views From Cape Chignecto Provincial Park”

Into The Grey..

The weather report called for rain and we almost called off our weekly hike. I am so glad we threw caution to the wind and headed to West Advocate. Gray is beautiful… especially when contrasted against Red Rocks! Happy Wednesday, Anna

Thomes Cove Cliffs of Fundy Geo Site Excursion

Thomas Cove in Economy, NS is located not far from the Cliffs of Fundy GeoPark Welcome Centre. The turn off along Hwy 209 is well signed. The gravel road leading to the parking lot is relatively well maintained. The parking lot is spacious and two trails lead to two different trail experiences. I will coverContinue reading “Thomes Cove Cliffs of Fundy Geo Site Excursion”

Road Hike to Cape d’Or

I am calling this a “road hike” because that is exactly what we did today. We met at the bottom of the first hill on the Cape d’Or access road in Advocate. I joined the first group hike of 2023 expecting more of an adventure on less travelled paths. In the end I was notContinue reading “Road Hike to Cape d’Or”

July Outing to Clarke Head

It has been a glorious morning already. I just returned from a quick hike to Clarke Head, my favourite place close to Parrsboro. After all the rain yesterday todays sunshine provides a welcome change. It is summer after all! Not a cloud in the sky, waves crashing at the shore and not a soul inContinue reading “July Outing to Clarke Head”

Circumnavigating Two Islands

Today has been momentous: I joined a hiking friend in a walk around the Two Islands and it was amazing. I have always been fascinated by these basalt giants but after actually crossing the knee-high water at low tide toward Big Brother I have a whole new appreciation for these geological formations. The rocky beachContinue reading “Circumnavigating Two Islands”

A Gray Start to The Day Brought Brilliant Sunshine!

What a way to honour the May long weekend Sunday. A group of hikers from Moncton inquired if I could show them the way to Clarke Head. You know my answer to their question. Of course I will share this epic beach excursion! As soon as we rounded the arch the sun burst through theContinue reading “A Gray Start to The Day Brought Brilliant Sunshine!”
