Trekking (Trail) 40:00 [2]
A short overnight trip with Lynda...my canoe adventure partner from August. A short trek on the Carriage Trail at Mono Cliffs Provincial Park as it was getting dusky. It was icy once we got up out of the parking lot and my yak tracks/microspikes were in the car. Duh. We kept to level/tamer routes, leaving the ice-covered trail up through the rocks for another day. Reservations at the Mono Cliffs Inn for dinner were at 5:30. We were lucky enough to get in at the pub....delightful food and company.
Trekking (Bruce Trail) 50:00 [2]
After supper, we parked at a pulloff near the B&B and put our headlamps on. No moon, but the stars were spectacular. Lynda suggested a route that didn't cross too many contour lines, so we headed in that direction, but the trail (once more) was very icy. And the yaktracks/microspikes were in the car. We turned around and went the other direction, crossing lots of contour lines, down, down, down along a burbling stream. But there was no ice to contend with, so it was a delightful little hike. Then up, up, up again.....of course.
We had wanted to do this trip in October and camp, but she spent a couple weekends last month looking after her dad, and life just happens some times to all of us, so suddenly it was November. As it turned out, there was no wind/no precipitation Saturday night, so we could have had a delightful mini-camping trip after all, without too much worry about the weather. Next time....

Fat Biking (snowy path/snowmobile trx) 52:00 [3] 7.0 mi (7:26 / mi)
I parked at the far SE lot in Kensington and rode the multi use path to Island Lake. I was very surprised at how clear (and salted) the path was in Kensington. More normal ice/snow cover in Island Lake. Followed some snowmobile tracks around. Lovely sunny day.
Trekking (Orienteering) 1:50:00 [3] 4.5 mi (24:27 / mi)
shoes: Speed Cross
O Meet with Heidi. About 4-6" of snow that got softer in the afternoon sun.
I debated wearing microspikes, but Speedcross were fine, even on the hills. We used trails whenever they were in the area, and didn't have too much trouble with nav (despite our mutual lack of practice). Got pulled a bit off course a couple time with green areas, but were able to correct for that before overshooting the controls. Very nice day for a hike in the woods.
Too bad I didn't see the albino deer!
