Peterborough Outdoor Activity

This week's 5km walk was suggested by Ray. Thanks, Ray.
Meeting place will be Auburn St. It's the 1st street east of the river on the north side of Parkhill Road.
We'll walk north on the Rotary Greenway Trail and cross the river on the foot bridge. Continue southward on the RGT towards downtown and have our break at the Black Horse.
After the break, we'll head in a north east direction and cross the river on the London St Bridge. North on the RGT and to Auburn St.

Another in my series of more challenging hikes. This one is near Carnarvon in Haliburton County. The tentative plan is to combine two interconnected trails to make a hike somewhere between 10 and 13 km in length.

First the Algonquin Highlands Ridge Trail: a pleasant shaded trail with some steep inclines (variously described as between 5 .6 and 8 km one-way). There is one major lookout point. This trail then joins the Circuit of 5 Viewpoints trail: a classic Canadian Shield country trail overlooking rugged valleys, and placid rivers (a 5 km loop).

I will finalize the route closer to the date. You'll be guaranteed to be tired after this one with numerous climbs and descents on both trails. Bring lunch, a snack, a good variety of layered clothing for the elements, and both your sense of adventure and sense of humour. Hiking poles also recommended (you know who you are!).

We'll need to plan carpooling and possibly a car shuttle to make the above route work. Look for discussion the chat closer to the date.

I admit this is a bit of a drive to Brighton, ON.

In the fall, on a sunny day, Presquille is a really nice place to hike. Trail is absolutely flat, through the forest, to the lighthouse and along the waterfront.

Plan is to meet by the main gate of the park.
