Oh frank no.
You'd have to be either a crazy ultramarathoner or a granola-eating hippie hiker.
From their website:
"With over 900 km of main Trail and over 450 km of side trails, the Bruce Trail offers a myriad of ways to explore the natural beauty of the Niagara Escarpment on foot. " - Atomic Wedgie
Yeah you’d have to be something unique that’s for sure. As I mentioned I remember going there as a Boy Scout when I wasn’t even 10 yet and each trip was kept to a specific location. Those side trails actually make a lot of sense when I think of this. I’m willing to bet that’s where our camp outs were. |

The first time I took my wife (from BC) home to Niagara, I pointed out the Niagara escarpment and she almost pissed herself. Like a small hill in BC. Also, she wasn’t too impressed with the ski hills we drove past. - mr.sir
Oh when it comes to mountains BC leads the way for this country by a long long ways that’s for sure. I’ve got a couple former bandmates living out in Vancouver now, one in a boat, and they love it.
I guess the one thing Ontario has to be impressed about are the huge lakes which are not salt water. That’s a notable thing for sure. |

I'm sure there are people who do it.
A lot of people go on "walks."
Years ago, my parents walked across England. There we tons of people doing it - pretty well established. A truck would take your luggage to the next hotel/hostel/pub on the route, and you'd spend all day just walking through the English countryside.
They also did a segment of a really big one in Spain - some sort of pilgrimage.
In North America, there's the Pacific Coast trail (watch the Reese Witherspoon movie) and the Appalachian Trail (read the Bill Bryson book A Walk in the Woods). |

Well apparently Matthews has been sick for a few days and played through it last game. We are without a doubt the unluckiest team in the league. |

Actually those are all pretty cool things… super interested in the England one tbh. Maybe I’ll make that a target vacation for me someday. Nice part about being epileptic is I’m not allowed to drive and haven’t in damn near a dozen years so I’m in decent shape when it comes to walking long distances.
I’ll look up that book and what they do in Spain as well, thank you for these suggestions. Just looked up the Bryson book and apparently The Globe and Mail is quoted for describing it as “a comic tour de force” and that even increases my interest. |

It's on my bucket list. Only 309 km.

It's a good book. I think Bryson has funnier works.
As I know you have a bit of time on your hands at the moment, maybe start with The Lost Continent: Travels in Small-Town America.
Neither Here Nor There is really good. So is Notes from a Small Island.

I know a guy from Edmonton who sees himself as a cowboy. Every fall he takes two horses and heads to the mountains for a month. He rides one and the other one carries all the supplies and the next day he alternates and rides the other one. No tent, just a bedroll and a campfire.
He carries a rifle and a pistol just in case. He asked me to go one year and I’ve never said no as fast as that in my life. |

I’ll check those out for sure… I’ll see if my gf can find paper copies… won’t lie cause I know it shows my age a bit but I can’t stand reading things digitally… feels like work not enjoyment to me… probably all the time I worked as a cad draftsman and needing to read codes that way
Thank you for the references tho… got pages opened up on my browser to remind me |

Freshwater fishing in Ontario is 🥇
Also, fall is great for weather |
