Blue Mountain E2E May 26/27

on the top of the ski hill

Judy M, Tanya, Dianne and myself set out for a weekend full of fun and blisters. Ouch,ouch and ouch. Walking 34k on challenging terrain and doing that 2 days in a row requires a new definition of the word 'fun'. Once again we were asked by other participants if we had trained for this. ... I am now thinking maybe we should have. The distance on those days is far and the pace is fast. 

somewhere on trail

Anyhow. All in all it was a great weekend.  Thanks to my generous boss, we even had a place to stay. He let us have his waterfront cottage and we got treated to most beautiful sunsets on Friday night and Saturday night. On the trails we met lots of people who were in Niagara the previous weekend. Our orange team shirts sure helped them to recognize us. You wear the orange shirt and people know who you are. Very cool.

BFR stilin'

The trails in the Blue Mountain section are beautiful. Pretty valley sure is pretty. We need to come back and play there some more. Each day there were 3 check points where we were treated to water refills, water melon and lemonade along with cookies and the most amazing peanut butter treats. The volunteers were amazing. A big Thank You to them. It's a huge help knowing that the next check point is only a few kilometres away for a fuelling and rest stop.  Blisters and all - we did it.
