Bruce Trail - Wiarton to Tobermory, October 2011

In October 2011 I had a plan to hike 170km from Wiarton to Tobermory over five nights and six days with a co-worker(Matt). This plan looked great on paper and we worked it out to having to hike an average of 30-35kms per day. However as we were going to be stopping at campgrounds for the night, each day was a different distance and would challenge us physically and mentally.

This is my story of our adventure on The Bruce Trail - Peninsula Section, 9 October 2011 - 15 October 2011

Basil in March

Thyme planted only one week ago

Peas planted one week ago


I was a little ambitious and excited to start my planting, as I am each year, and because of this I am unable to keep my plants outside because of frost. I will be sure to plant later in the season next year so the house isn't overtaken with plants.
