Peninsula Section - Blue Trails multi day hike. June 10 - 13, 2024





Day 2 - 20.3km

 

Here we are, our merry group of 4, Marleen, Michael ( HC ), Frances and Annette. 

The weather co-operated and we had glorious hiking days, 4 for Michael and 3 for the rest of us. Collectively we hiked 24 Blue Trails in the Lions Head area.

We had a bit of everything - easy walking, rocky trail, climbing ladders, manoeuvring down steep slopes of rocks using  rope assists, and rocky beach walks. 

Follow along with us below: 








    Day three: 17.8km

 







Day Four: 10km






Our silent companions: 



Our very comfortable accommodations:


All in all, a great escape into nature, and a great sense of accomplishment!

Blue Mountains and Beaver Valley Sections - Series #1: May 20-22, 2025.

  Blue Mountains and Beaver Valley Sections - Series #1: May 20-22, 2025.                    ----------------------------------- Day One - Blue Mountains Section - Lavender (0.0 km) to 9/10 Side Road Nottawasaga (14.1 km) - May 20, 2025. Hiking With Friends' first spring series to the more northern sections of the Bruce Trail found us congregating in Collingwood this past week to enjoy three hikes, one in southernmost part of the Blue Mountains, and two more in the Beaver Valley. The conclusion of these three hikes would lead to something great, but to start with, we had to go Lavender on day one, and walk northward to the parking at 9/10 Side Road Nottawasaga...how did that go for us?...well actually, it went just "hikingly" thank you... Our well organized and merry band has dropped some cars and headed to the "dead center" of Lavender, on the edge of town, and you probably haven't even finished your morning coffee yet...there...

  Iroquoia Section - Crawford Lake (104.5 km) to Mount Nemo (91.0 km) - March 13, 2025. After over a month off the trail due to a seemingly endless stretch of inclement weather on consecutive Thursdays having caused frustrating cancellations, Hiking With Friends were finally rewarded with a classic late winter day to get out and enjoy our favourite walking path...and we took on a 15 km route from Crawford Lake southward to Mount Nemo with all our pent up energy (which, it turned out, was well needed to complete the journey)...and there was a nice celebration at the end to cap off a glorious outing!.. While hiking the Bruce Trail is our passion and we are seemingly quite proficient at it, our logistical organization can often be "a work in progress"...fortunately, with an experienced hike coordinator in charge, we eventually got sorted out and successfully assembled our group of 20 hikers in the parking lot at Crawford Lake to get our morning selfie shot on record...today'...

  Sydenham Section - Series #2 - June 3-5, 2025. ----------------------------------- Day One -  Blantyre (0.0 km) to 1st Concession S. (10.5 km) - June 3, 2025. A beautiful day, a modest 10.5 km hike (according to the BTC app). Even before we set off many of our hikers took no chances with mosquitoes and black flies ... from the left, Renu, Laura, Nancy, Peter, Lesley, Catherine, Faryde, and trying her best to be anonymous, Donna. The official start photo ... Andrew (photos), Domenic, Peter, Laura, Renu, Nancy, Catherine C., Barbara, Ivan (photos), Doug (HC & photos), Frank C., Lesley (photos), Sandra (sweep), Marion, Faryde and, still anonymous, Donna (photos). Off we went, full of vim, at the start of the Sydenham Section.  We had hardly started when Doug, in the lead and chatting happily to Andrew, missed the turn to the right and took us a few hundred meters up the track before Andrew realized that we were off-piste.  Zut!  The Rocklyn Creek Bridge. Dom ...
