What I Ate on the La Cloche Trail

A long time ago, I had set a goal for myself to hike the La Cloche Trail in Killarney. One of my outdoor friends, Marian from The Camping Family, was going to hike this trail again for what would be her 8th time and had asked me to join her, which was just the motivation that I needed so I jumped at the chance and said yes. There was lots of planning and talking about gear, food and other logistics from to take care of, but I am not going to get into details about the actual trip as I had shared photos on my Instagram page, so this post is about what I actually planned for my food for the 7 day 6 night trip.

New Years Eve Beach Mug Up

In Newfoundland we have the saying “Mug Up”, which means having an afternoon snack or coffee break. During our hikes, I reflect back to my university days when we were part of an outdoor club called C’MUN Outdoors. There was one guy in that group who would always bring his little stove and boil water for hot tea during our snack breaks, no matter how short the outing. Neither Dan nor I can remember his name, but this one was for him!

Catching Fall Colors at Kingscote Lake

I had planned to do a solo trip at the end of September, but when I mentioned doing a trip to my friend Maya (who I completed the Basic Canoe instructor course with a few weeks prior) that plan changed and we decided to go to Kingscote Lake together. We planned to do some fishing and exploring, but we didn’t expect to also be catching the start of the fall colour change in Algonquin Park.

Lakeshore Walks

When the parks opened their day use areas, we knew it was going to be busy so we waited until late afternoon on the Monday of the long weekend before heading down the Sandbanks Provincial Park to walk the trails at the Lakeshore Lodge area.
