11-14 Various walks
I’m getting behind on blogging my walks. The first three here were done with my Aunt who was here to visit with us. It was lovely getting chance to walk with her again – we did the Avon Walk together back in 2015. None of these walks are to new places. They are all repeats…

10 of 75 – Beach Meadows
After our cool walk yesterday at Cherry Hill beach, and with the tides not being ideal, we headed back to Beach Meadows.

9 of 75 – Cherry Hill Beach
Cherry Hill is perhaps one of my favorite places to walk Cali. I get a good walk on the beach, and Cali gets to run after the ball. We are both in heaven. Cherry Hill is a bit of a weird beach. It isn’t a bit at high tide. And, as we discovered again today,…

8 of 75 – Random ATV trails in Conquerall
A five minute drive from my house, there is an entry point to a series of ATV trails. It is not clear who owns the land, but the trails are used by locals to walk and local kids to play. I looked at the map and it doesn’t appear to be Crown Land, so someone…

7 of 75 – Indian Path Common
Perhaps my favorite place to hike – Indian Path Common. There aren’t a huge number of trails, such that I can usually hike 1/2 of them each time I go. The landscape is variable as the hike brings you through several microclimates – one minute smelling ocean air and then the next smelling the forest…

6 of 75 – Adventure Trail
There are so any rail trails in this province! Anyways, this was a nice walk but not one worth repeating.

5 of 75 – Rissers Beach
Rissers Beach used to be one of my default places to walk. It is one of the closests beaches. However, it isn’t the best for dog walking – or more to the point – it isn’t the best place for me to allow Cali off leash to run after the ball. As I walked through…

4 of 75 – Crescent Beach – and some boxing
I never imagined myself trying out boxing. I never imagined that I’d love it. … oday, I got out to the beach again – this time for a 4km walk. We went to Crescent Beach – a not-so-original name for a beach, as there are several different Crescent Beaches in Nova Scotia.

3 of 75 – Woodland Gardens
I didn’t have enough time between meetings today to get in the car and go someplace. Instead I decided to take my usual walk around the “Duck Pond” (officially called Town Pond) and turn that in an official walk. In order for it to count, it had to be at least 3 km, and the…

2 of 75 – River Ridge Common
The term “common” was new to me when I moved to Nova Scotia. Common is used to mean land that is owned by one of the governments – typically municipal – as the provincial lands are known as Crown Land. The common are often setup with hiking trails or other shared uses. There are two…

1 of 75 – Beach Meadows
Kicking off my summer challenge today, we went to Beach Meadows for a walk on the beach. The beach isn’t quite 1.5km long, so we needed to do a little more than one lap of the beach. It wasn’t the warmest of days, but it was still a beautiful day at the beach. Tourist seasons…

A summer challenge
My semester is about to end. With the end of this semester, I am off until the Fall. I don’t feel like I’ve had a summer off in years, although I don’t think I taught last summer! Anyways, this summer I have wanted to set myself a challenge – something that I could achieve but…
