Elora Hike - 2007-01-06 - Still no Snow!

Welcome to Hiker Hart's Website

I love Hiking, Canoeing and XC-Skiing in Ontario's Great Outdoors.

I hiked the Bruce Trail from Niagara to Tobermory and back again during June to July this year. I did the "Doug Sloan Double ", i.e., park the car at a convenient mid-point, hike out a distance south, return to the car to replenish water, hike out a distance north and return to the car. Drive to the next mid-point and repeat. Photos of the whole E2E will be posted in the next little while. Keep checking.

Nick tells great stories

 

At the start - a little chunky

1700 km in 35 days of walking and still smiling, but 30 pounds lighter than at the start! (Even the hat shrank.

Jan keeps telling me to go to Blazes

)
