Navigating Canada

Happy Monday from the Navigating Canada family!

This weeks edition of Travel Tuesday features Shagun’s eventful trip to Bowmanville, Ontario. She shares her experience completing some of the hiking trails in the area (without breaking a sweat😉)
“There’s nothing like exploring a new place on foot👣 Yesterday we layered up, laced up our winter boots and ventured into this new trekking trail only twenty minutes away from home. It was one of the many windiest days here with a temperature of -8’C (feels like-14’C with wind chill), but felt so amazing to be outside in this beautiful winter landscape with over 18 km of hiking trails.

We completed cottontail rabbit trail 🐰 (2.1 km), white-tailed deer trail 🦌 (3.7 km) and barter-owl trail 🦉 (2.9 km) in about 4.5-5 hours without breaking a sweat! Just kidding. It wasn’t easy to walk in super thick snow without snow shoes or a walking pole so I exhausted myself midway and my legs began to cramp really bad with every forward move. (should’ve been exercising my legs at home!) So I continued the remaining trek walking backwards instead! Glad I practiced some backward walking.

It the longest I’ve trekked in winter so far walking backwards. Head out to my stories to see more

How long have you walked backwards for?⏮”
