Posting Videos - but of Nova Scotia trails

While I am hiking I take many pictures, sometimes more than 100 on a particularly scenic trail. And on most trails I also take a short video, usually of between 30 sec. to one minute. I have been fortunate to visit some exceptionally beautiful locations, and for many of the trails I worry it might be the final time I will be able to hike them.

I have decided to post some of my videos - or who knows, maybe eventually all of them - on You Tube. Each video will be titled, "Hiking Trails of Nova Scotia", which will be followed by the trail's name. I am posting these under the name "hikerhaynes".


Not every trail is exciting or especially scenic, so neither are their videos. You might wonder why I have posted some those less dramatic films, but what you see will in every case be a fair representation of what you will encounter along the trail. And sometimes that is just a quiet walk through the forest. But that is ok too. Hope you enjoy whatever you view, and whatever you chose to hike.

Sorry that I do not have any videos of Ottawa trails right now. But when I get back that will be my next project!

Updates - Corrections

Thanks to Erwin Gerrits, we have some corrections to the route descriptions for Charleston Lake Provincial Park and the Lime Kiln Trail. It appears as if I made some mistakes in my writing, and Erwin has kindly pointed them out for everyone to benefit.

You may find Erwin's comments on the "Updates and Corrections" page.

Book Signings: June 23 and 25

Sorry for the short notice, but these were only confirmed on June 22. I will be at the Mountain Equipment Co-op store on 366 Richmond Road, Ottawa, from 7-9pm. On Saturday, June 25, I will be at the Chapters on Rideau Street from 2-3:30pm.

As I am working in Nova Scotia updating Hiking Trails of Nova Scotia this summer, these will probably be my only signings or presentations in Ottawa until November/December.

If you have any questions or comments about the book, or any of the trails in it, feel free to drop by and have a chat. (Otherwise I will just be sitting at the table watching people walk past.) Hope to see you there.
