It was a gorgeous Saturday morning when I embarked on my adventure to visit Sherman Falls. Out of all the falls in Hamilton, this one was special to me, as it and I boast the same name! Well, mine is spelled slightly more complicated, but audibly they are one in the same! Located in Ancaster Village, Sherman falls is a 17 metre high curtain waterfall that is a feature along the area's Bruce Trail. According [...]

Not adventuring for someone like me is difficult. Whenever I have a spare hour or two, or more, I start thinking of a place I can run off to and explore it. But sadly, time for me, doesn't always allow that. Suprisingly to people who know me and are on my facebook, especially, think blogging and adventuring is my full time job. This, is actually not a job at all, it is what I do [...]

On November 29th, In Canada, lol, I set out to paddle Lyons Creek in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Yes, I was wearing snow pants, a very warm ski jacket and a toque, but I was going paddling and I was stoked!!! On Thursday I had gone to Outdoors Oriented and picked up a pair of Marmot Connect Gloves. Whenever I am at the store, I always get valuable advice from someone there, this visit was no different.

After publishing my post on the Marmot Connect Gloves and finding the ones I had too large for me and not as effective as I'd like them, I spoke to my favourite outdoors store contact, Jamie at Outdoors Oriented. He advised that the gloves did indeed look too big for me and he wanted to resolve the issue for me. Hence, why I love this place so much! I went in on Thursday after work and Jamie [...]

Just over four weeks after my knee surgery and I was dying to get out into nature. To be completely accurate, I was dying to go camping, but for now, a hike in the woods would suffice. The last two weekends I'd Ridden my bike over 10 km's each day and my knee felt really awesome! I was hiking with a friend and a five year old so I figured I should be able to [...]

On Sunday November 22nd, I went on a very chilly paddle on Richardson Creek in St. Catharines, Ontario. The paddle was absolutely stunning and as I have this blog, I spent a huge amount of the paddle taking photos! (plus I just love it!) Four hundred and eighteen photos to be exact! As I take all my photos with my iPhone, I can not do so without taking off my gloves. My hands started to get numb [...]

I purchased my kayak in the spring of 2012 from Outdoors Oriented at their Pack and Paddle day they have annually. It's such a great idea! They set up a bunch of booths and have some of the line reps come out and they have a bunch of their boats at Jordan Harbour for people to test them out. It's definitely hard to try a boat in a store and this is a great solution for that! [...]

It was a gorgeous day out and even though I'd hiked 10 hours the day before, I couldn't resist getting outside to do a few more trails today! I headed to Gibson Street in Grimsby to park my car and start my amazing adventure! This was my last weekend before my knee surgery to hike and I was taking total advantage and spending as much time doing what I loved while I was able to! [...]

I woke up to a beautiful day Sunday, birds chirping, sun out and the promise from the Weather Network of a warm day! I was supposed to go out for a hike with my good friend Andrea, but she advised me she was a bit under the weather and couldn't make it. As I am going on a canoe trip next, then car camping without my kayak following, I decided I needed to get out [...]
