Outdoors, hiking, skiing, gear, adventure. July 1, 2015. Sherbrooke Lake, in Yoho National Park, is an excellent hike for a hot day. For a long part, the trail winds through the shade of the forest. It’s only really when you almost reach the shoreline at the front of the lake that the trail begins to open up. Getting out of the forest and the trail levels off. A board walk leads part of the way to the lakeshore. Reaching the shoreline at the front of the lake. At the edge of the water. In all the return ...

Outdoors, hiking, skiing, gear, adventure. June 8, 2015. From near the top looking over the golf course. Writing this, I’m sitting at the top of Tunnel Mountain. It’s a warm June evening and it’s busy in the town of Banff. There’s a breeze blowing through the trees, strong enough that you can hear it. I’ve spent most of the day travelling about in Banff and Yoho National Parks, so it’s nice to spend some time outside now. The trail going up. Windswept trees (Krummholz) near the top. Lake Louise Bike Ride.

One day out walking…. – When the wine is bitter
https://whenthewineisbitter.wordpress.com/2014/06/22/one-day-out-walking
When the wine is bitter. Walking and writing and drinking on a Greek island. One day out walking…. June 22, 2014. Narrowing my eyes, I focused my gaze. Could it be a scuba diver, I wondered, though even as the thought entered my head I knew it couldn’t be right. For one thing the creature in the water was obviously too large and aquiline to be human. The Island protests: Easter, 2007, a brief report. 2 thoughts on “ One day out walking….

Wild walks and reflections. Symi: going wild →. Symi: the 15 minute walk that took 6 days, or, Notes on How to Use a Bedpan. May 12, 2016. And now for something completely different. What are you doing? The tone was reprovingly incredulous, not inquisitorial. I need to use the toilet. The doctor says you must stay in bed. Then the misfiring on two cylinders became unexpectedly and significantly worse and I decided I should return home sooner than planned. Flight for Saturday booked on the internet, T...

Banff, Canadian Rockies: last trek, early bath | Barry's Ramblings

Wild walks and reflections. Banff, Canadian Rockies: snow fabulous, snow fool like an old fool. Canadian Rockies and Greek Islands: looking back, looking forward →. Banff, Canadian Rockies: last trek, early bath. February 19, 2016. The shoulder injury I wrote about in my last blog post did not respond to treatment anywhere near as quickly as hoped so regrettably I went for the early bath and flew home. I guess the body heals more slowly as it gets older. The wind was strong, blowing the fine Albertan pow...

Wild walks and reflections. Banff, Canadian Rockies: snow good, I’ve got to go back. Banff, Canadian Rockies: last trek, early bath →. Banff, Canadian Rockies: snow fabulous, snow fool like an old fool. February 8, 2016. I know I’m upside down. You try and guard against it but now and again loss of focus sneaks up on you and bites you in the bum. Day four and I went to Lake Louise, leaving Banff with fresh snowfall and arriving at the ski hill with fresh powder pouring out of the sky. The conditions ...
