Along the Right Lines

Sun. 3 April:  Along the Right Lines

On a brisk, sunny day, with temperatures firmly below zero, the Passionate Hiker ventured out onto the Cataraqui Trail to try out a new and improved knee – well, not new, but hopefully improved. 

All went well. 

His incentive was to meet up with his hiking colleagues, who were marching east from the Skycroft wilderness, and to hike the most spectacular section of this old railway line, where it crosses high above the Rideau Canal near Chaffeys Lock on an iron bridge.  

As he strode with increasing confidence along the trail, an ideal testing ground, the author knew that his exciting outdoor plans for 2016 were starting off along the right lines.
