Toronto Section - Speyside to Limehouse - June 6, 2024.

10 of us hardy hikers joined on another beautiful Spring day to enjoy the sights between Speyside and Limehouse along the Bruce Trail. A distance of approximately 10.5km. 




Here we are: myself ( HC ), Grace, Georgia ( welcome back ), Barbara, Frances ( today’s sweep - thank you for volunteering! ), Doug, Ron J, Ron B, Laura and Marleen. 

Not used to blogging, and my first attempt at this, the following are sights and challenges we encountered along the way to make for an another fun day on the BT. 













Thanks for hiking with us!

  Peninsula Section - Series #4 - Crane Lake to the Northern Cairn in Tobermory - June 23 to 25, 2026. --------------------------- Day One : Little Cove (156.4 km) to Marr Lake/Cyprus Lake (145.3 km) - June 23, 2026. Hiking With Friends concluded its World Cup of Walking the Bruce Peninsula this past week with 3 days of enjoyment in the rugged beauty in the National Park that 'bears' its name...it would conclude with a special moment that once again added to the rich tapestry of Bruce Trail memories that our group has woven over the years...Day One was unique in its own right as, due to severe parking time restrictions recently imposed at Little Cove, a creative plan was necessitated that meant our group was split in two and took on the roughly 14 km route from opposite directions... With a National Park parking time limit imposed at Little Cove, an "early bird" group (hereafter referred to as Group 1) of 8 hikers gathers at Cyprus Lake to make their way north on the ...

  Niagara Section - Woodend C.A (13.0 km) to Decew House (29.9 km) - April 16, 2026. Hiking With Friends was Thorold-ly excited to venture down to the Niagara Section this past week and truck through a lot of muck and, with a bit of luck, get through 17 km without having to become a duck...did we do o.k?...did the rain hold off?..well, the mud did suck, but we're HWF, so we don't give a...hoot.  Early morning...13 eager beavers have assembled dutifully at a place where you think a hike normally would end, but here we are at Woodend C.A pointed westward...myself, Frances, Annette (H.C), Ivan, Renu, Steve K, Faryde, Doug, Steve R, Katherine, Rita, Frank, and Barbara...time to hit the trail!   Lately it seems that April showers have brought...more April showers...and with the over saturated ground not able to absorb any more water, we are a little fearful that today's forecast of rain and possible thunderstorms will make a sloppy trail an even more unpleasant experience. For...

  Caledon Hills Section - Dunby Road Parking (67.8 km) to 5th Line EHS and Hockley Road Parking (51.8 km) via Blue Side Trails - July 30, 2026. Once in a while, it behooves the Hiking With Friends group to take its horsepower off the main Bruce Trail and pony up to exploring some alternate pathways...this week took us to the notoriously hilly but beautiful Caledon Hills section to try out several blue side trails in the Hockley Valley neighbourhood...the map above exists in two dimensions...our lives for this 10 km, 3 hour and 40 minute experience were lived most certainly in three...with the vertical axis being our nemesis...  It's a warm morning on the penultimate July day and 16 of us have assembled at Dunby Road eager to see what lies ahead...myself, Faryde, Josie, Marleen, Barbara (H.C), Laura, Doug, Annette, Grace, Sandra, Frances, Steve K, Andrea, Frank C, Ron B, and Ivan...let's go see what's up...and down...and up... There's a short walk along Dunby Road and a ...
