On a snow filled and windy Monday I peruse recent images! Can’t wait to get outside again to enjoy this winter wonderland!

Three Waterfalls Hike Scouting Mission Success
I spent a good part of today, Sunday, scouting. Wednesday, January 31st will be the second free Guided Hike Nova Scotia Winterhike in the Geopark. The Three Waterfalls event was originally advertised for January 12th but had to be changed due to poor trail conditions. I am pleased to announce: We are heading to ThreeContinue reading “Three Waterfalls Hike Scouting Mission Success”
Group outing to Phinney Green
What happens when the call for a group hike generates this much interest? It provides me with the confirmation that I am able to fill a need in the Parrsboro area. Each Wednesday hike has seen our group growing larger! What a way to fill Wednesday afternoons! Sharing my passion for the Cliffs of FundyContinue reading “Group outing to Phinney Green”
Hard to believe…
…it’s January. Very little snow, Canada Geese enjoying the sunshine in Parrsboro’s inner harbour and no winter weather in sight…

Another Sunday, Another New Trail to Discover
There was a chill in the air but I had planned to check out a new trail as a possibility for my Wednesday hikers. My friend and I enjoyed the hike, we even found a way to make the original trail connect to create a loop. The terrain was steep, too steep for the variedContinue reading “Another Sunday, Another New Trail to Discover”
Tea time anyone?

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”
Winter Watch From The Couch
The storm arrived around 3 pm this afternoon. We had not seen such high tidal activity since Christmas 2022. Within ten minutes visibility was poor and I counted my blessings for the warm house. An hour later things had calmed down and the tide receded. But this didn’t last long. Rain is creating rivulets onContinue reading “Winter Watch From The Couch”
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…”
