FORKS OF THE CREDIT

My first Senior Hike after being away for 6 weeks. It was a bus a hike that Ann Atkins and I led at Bellfountain and the Forks of the Credit Provincial Park. It was the hottest day of the year with humidex values over 40 degrees. The bus ride was a chore in it self with no air conditioning. There were 39 members on the bus including 12 Turtle members that did the shorter hike around Kettle Lake. The main group started Bellfountain along the Trimble Trail. When we reached the road at Dominion Street I phoned the bus driver to pick a member up who was struggling because of the challenging trail and holding the the rest of the group up. We carried on through Brimstone and picked up the Bruce Trail to our lunch spot in the park by the river. After lunch we climbed up the hill and wound our way to the bus in the parking lot. A total of 8 km with generous amounts of elevation changes was achieved. Back in the city a group of us hit Orwells Pub for a well earn't pint.

This photo taken by Ann prompted me to loose weight. Barry can be seen thinking "Fat Bastard".
