Weather says COLD with light winds.. plan is to walk the beach to beach trail from Spine beach..
Sue will lead the Tuesday, Christmas Eve hike to Rye Lake. The Thursday afternoon hikers are invited to come out to the cookout as the hike is not long.
Thank you to everyone who came out to the Cookout today. 17 of us had an awesome time. Thank you Keith and Mark for having a hot fire to welcome us. Thank you Don for looking after the barbecue and to all those who brought those delectable treats, thank you very much. Merry Christmas everyone!
Louise has a grey toque that has been embroidered with the club crest, if this is yours please get in touch with her, thanks.
Seven hardy hikers tackled Grant's Trail today under grey skies. Snowshoes were deemed in order despite the well worn boot trail that gave us our start and that was a good call - once we hit the ATV trail, we were breaking trail! Plenty of water has collected under the snow and made for wet snowshoes initially and heavy, slushy sections as the day warmed up. To the hike leader's surprise, the trail has been re-routed FAR away from the lake so no lunch break there to relieve the tired hikers.... With a promise of a great view once we hit the cliff, the troop trudged on. The view certainly made the effort worthwhile and we were appropriately rewarded with some sunshine! We did get more of a workout than planned but, all in all, everyone enjoyed the hike and the wonderful company.
Come one, come all to the return of the Christmas Cookout on Thurs December 19th, from 11am - 3pm at Camp Thompson. Bring your lunch. Bring a treat to share with others. See you soon!
Due to slippery conditions on trails, today's hike is canceled.
Emily will let hikers know if Monday's hike is a GO or NO GO by 8 30 am Monday. This is due to predicted rain. Trails might be slippery.
