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!”

And just like that…

…Christmas is over for another year! We enjoyed watching our two little rascals opening their stocking gifts! They kept us entertained with their excitement, discovering a new toy, pulling on them, stealing them from each other and claiming them back. Besides preparing a turkey dinner with all the trimmings to share with neighbours I amContinue reading “And just like that…”

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!

First Stop: Crane Point near Ottawa House. We were keeping an eye on the incoming tide. The tide cut us off on the wayContinue reading “Special Tour Day”

NS Walks Leader Training

October 30th… a momentous day! Three years ago our life in Nova Scotia began officially – we had finished quarantine and started to explore the Parrsboro area. Today we were blessed with the first snowfall of the season. Perfect timing to participate in a live-session to train several new NS Walk leaders. I was soContinue reading “NS Walks Leader Training”

Jeffers Falls Revisited

Our multi-hike day last Thursday ended with checking on the trail to Jeffers Falls. There were some minor improvements, especially at the point where it used to be difficult to determine which way the path leads approaching the final section near the scree slope. I continue to stand by my evaluation that the final sectionContinue reading “Jeffers Falls Revisited”

Hidden Falls – Best Kept Secret To Date!

Those who have followed my blog for a while saw my post from August where I tried to reach Hidden Falls but the high water in the brook prevented my attempt at crossing. I tried twice more… to mo avail. Last Thursday, October 5th, my friend and I stopped on the way back from FiveContinue reading “Hidden Falls – Best Kept Secret To Date!”
