Wondering about my wanderings
Bruce Caves We are walking along the Sydenham section of the Bruce Trail. This week we are walking from Wiarton to Owen Sound. (We will do the rest of this Bruce trail section next year, DV.) We are staying in Hepworth which is a perfect in-between location. My husband is so kind to be our… Continue reading Day 1 – Sydenham Trail (Saturday, 31 August 2019)
Today we are walking a 9 km loop that includes the Bennett side trail and Scotsdale Farm. This morning there is a cool breeze which makes it perfect weather for walking. We park the car on the 8th line section that is closed off during winter. AJ suggests we start the loop going east this… Continue reading Memory Lane – 10 August, 2019
So here we are again - walking the Bruce Trail (BT) on top of the Niagara Escarpment. We are preparing to walk the 172 km Sydenham BT section in September. Last time I was here I walked 15 km from Rattlesnake Point to Crawford Lake and back. I was part of quite a large group… Continue reading Memory Lane – August 16, 2019

My goal is to walk… Continue reading New Year Resolutions!

We have had many different experiences along the way… We meet up with Reina D’Hoore , an artist and life coach who lives in Santiago de Compostela… Continue reading Coming down to Earth, 11 October 2018
Today we make the final push towards the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela. The distance is too far to make it there for the Pilgrim Mass at noon, but somehow I have this idea in my head that I should try and meet Sandra from Saskatoon. Maybe I can still make it for when Mass… Continue reading Roa to Santiago de Compostela, 10 October 2018
Carpe Diem. Seize the day. Last night we arrived in heaven. Our accommodations were at Casa Brandariz outside Arzua. It is breathtakingly beautiful with absolutely wonderful people. We all want to go back there one day! I am part of a group of 11 ladies walking the Camino together. We are between the ages of… Continue reading Arzoa to Roa, 9 October 2018
