Annette, Rhonda, Muris, Boyd and I.

A lovely day for it, but colors not fully out.




Necessary bridge picture

Clothing adjustment time





One of our better views


No sign of fall colors down in the valley



Weird structure! Still it made a good sit-down spot for me (not many benches on this section).



The view from Murphy's pinnacle, and we have to get to that horizon.


A happy hiker


Down by the river again


Just before the end. A bit ironic really

  Peninsula Section - Series #1- Covering from the Start at Wiarton (0.0 km) to Jackson's Cove Rd. (52.0 km)...with a visit in Sydenham Section to Bruce's Caves - May 27-30, 2024. ---------------------   Day One - Colpoy's Bay (6.6 km) to Bruce's Caves (163.7 km) - May 27, 2024. The Hiking With Friends group was back up north for four challenging days of Bruce Trail adventure as our spring plan to tackle the Peninsula Section got underway...the first of the four hikes was planned from the parking at Colpoy's Bay, through the start of the section in Wiarton, with an added Sydenham Section walk to Bruce's Caves... This 5 hour journey over almost 16 km involved a modest 162 meters of climbing, and was a great introduction to peninsula hiking to those who were up here for the first time, with a chance to meet Wiarton Willy (the concrete statue version) and topped off by a visit to the iconic Bruce's Caves...the weather was threatening, but in the end, we had nar...

Iroqouia Section - Guelph Line (81.6) to Grindstone Falls (71.2) - April 18, 2024

 Iroqouia Section - Guelph Line (81.6) to Grindstone Falls (71.2) - April 18, 2024.      Thursday's hike was originally posted as a 10.5 km hike, and as you know most of us won't get out of bed for less than 10 km. So, luckily our hike was increased by 3.5 km due to the Dundas Street roadworks expansion.   Stats for the hike say we hiked 13.7 km., with a 250 m. gain in elevation, in 4 hrs and 15 minutes.       We assembled at roadside parking along Guelph Line in front of the stile. Joining in are Steve R. (photos and sweep), Andrew (photos), Frank, Ron B., Nancy, Andrea, Josie, Marleen, Lesley (H.C.), Rita, Laura and Peter.  Travelling to our meet point at Grindstone Falls along Mill St. meant queuing due to road works... We set off at a brisk pace and encounter one of many streams we need to cross. Thursday is bracketed in between rainy days, but we are encouraged as the trail is not too muddy and has pretty good footing... Anothe...
