My wife Beth and I are avid hikers. In fact, we met in 2002 while attending a two weekend workshop on the use of a Map & Compass.

Since then, we have walked a long way together. We particularly like doing what the English call "long walks".

Over the past 15 years, we have completed end to end hikes of ...

• The Bruce Trail (800 kms through southern Ontario)
• The Maitland Trail (45 kms through Huron County in southern Ontario)
• The Cumbria Way (70 miles through the Lake District of England)
• The West Highland Way (100 miles through southwestern Scotland)
• Four day hike along the GR4 in France from St. Andre-Des-Alpes to Entreveaux.
• The Limestone Way (50 miles through the Peak District in the Midlands of England)
• Three weeks hiking in Switzerland, which included a series of guided hikes in and around Adelboden.

We have also enjoyed hiking the following trails and parks:

• The Skerwink Trail (Newfoundland)
• Maberley to Little Catalina (Newfoundland)
• New Bonaventure to British Harbour (Newfoundland)
• Great Smoky Mountains National Park (Tennessee)
• Shenandoah National Park (Virginia)
