The sun accompanied these keen hikers for our special Wednesday afternoon outing today. Not many words are necessary to show how much the group enjoyed their time! Coffee time with Fundy Jewel treats in the sun was the proverbial icing on the cake. Soley Cove never disappoints. I am already blocking tour dates from JuneContinue reading “Soley Cove: Delight for Newbie and Repeat Hiker Alike”

McGahey Brook Trail Loop in Cape Chignecto Provincial Park
A last minute invitation to join friends on a hike today was a welcome diversion from spending time on the computer. We set out from the Driftwood Beach parking lot in West Advocate exploring the ever-changing pebble beach. We turned around near the organic Atlantic salmon plant and headed toward the Red Rocks at theContinue reading “McGahey Brook Trail Loop in Cape Chignecto Provincial Park”
Parrsboro’s First Beach at Low Tide
There wasn’t much time to get a walk in today. We are so fortunate here in Parrsboro that the beach is very accessible. It was a great day for finding sea glass and enjoying the view from the edge of the water before the tide pushed us back to high ground.

What happens when you organize another guided hike in conjunction with Hike Nova Scotia and the Cliffs of Fundy Geopark? You get the best participants!

Trekking poles came in handy and after the first 2/3s of the loop we stopped forContinue reading “Thomas Cove Economy Loop Trail: Say-Good-bye-to-Winter Hike”

Wilderness First Aid, Part 3
Last night around this time (after our supper break) we reviewed all things hypothermia, followed by the hands on lesson of doing the “burrito” for someone affected by cold injuries. The lesson was a valuable review for me as this particular subject had been covered during my OCC Winter Field Leader course nearly 18 monthsContinue reading “Wilderness First Aid, Part 3”
Weekend Away to Upgrade Skills
This is what I woke up to this morning. I was certainly glad I drove to Halifax last night. It was not an easy trip with the torrential rain navigating the highway and twisting, winding roads to the Halifax Search and Rescue Centre. My first night I opted to sleep in the car and myContinue reading “Weekend Away to Upgrade Skills”
Wednesday Afternoon Hike Series…
… free to all Parrsboro Shore citizens is a programme in its second year. I offer these from January through the end of March and this year these hikes have been exceptionally well attended.

Rainy Day Beach Adventure
We didn’t let a little rain get us down or abandon a mid-day low tide hike to Clarke Head. Days like these ensure deserted beaches… We hiked in steady drizzle but with layers of wool and a rain shell we stayed warm and toasty. Another amazing hike to my favourite spot in Parrsboro! Happy Sunday,Continue reading “Rainy Day Beach Adventure”
The Photographer’s Eye Never Closes…
Our Saturday morning walk led to the beach. It has been a while since I walked from Parrsboro’s First Beach to the beach below Glooscap Campground. The wind held off and the cliffs glowed in the morning sun illuminating the icicles oozing from the rocks.
Cochrane Road Beach in Port Greville: A Photographer’s Destination
Rain in the forecast kept away my regular Wednesday afternoon hikers. My trusty friend Gaby and her dog Enya were not deterred. We keep saying: “ We are not made of sugar… a little rain won’t melt us!” The tide was nearing its highest mark and the wave action was exhilarating. We hiked all theContinue reading “Cochrane Road Beach in Port Greville: A Photographer’s Destination”
Exploring the Shore
What a piece of paradise! Our friend shared his shoreline hangout with us today and we enjoyed the view of the lighthouse and pier. What a treat.
That Feeling…

To Jeffers Falls and Beyond
Waking up to sunshine and blue sky was just what we hoped for. My friend and I had planned this particular excursion for a while and after rain, snow and flash freeze yesterday the conditions were perfect. Our hike led past Jeffers Falls where we discovered beautiful ice flows with edges smoothed by the waterContinue reading “To Jeffers Falls and Beyond”

Soley Cove – Icicles and Magical Winter Light
On a whim my friend and I headed out to Soley Cove. Anne had never been, so I was keen on showing her this stretch of the Jurassic Coast line in the Upper Bay of Fundy. The sky was overcast and the diffused sunlight showcased the red sandstone cliffs to their best advantage. With longContinue reading “Soley Cove – Icicles and Magical Winter Light”
