A Whitby Ramble

Whitby is actually starting to feel comfortable and familiar. Church today almost felt like we belonged. And after church, what better to do on a Sunday afternoon than have a luxurious nap and go for a lovely walk by the lake! If you drive south down Brock Street, past the 401 you get to the lake. There is a green p parking area but if you keep driving you get to the Kiwanis Park. The path that goes through the Kiwanis Park is part of the Water Front Trail, which stretches from Niagara-on-the-Lake to Montreal (or something like that says Ken). We walked for a couple of kilometers.

In the Kiwanis Park area the beach is level with the park, but as you walk further along the path there are bluffs. We had quite an adventure! We walked along the path and then at the Scout symbol we turned right and headed towards the water. Low and behold there was a path all the way to the water - no cliff!














We started walking along the water back towards Kiwanis Park. It was slow going over the rocky terrain and Ken had his doubts about our chosen path. It turned out that he was right to have
concerns.














As we walked further along the beach we came to a small waterfall - really small but when it got to the beach it was lots of water - a wide gulf, a chasm even. What we were to do? Did we go through or go back? Going through meant cold wet feet. Walking back meant walking back. Our only option, scale the cliff. It felt slightly dangerous, but not really. The bluff wasn't too high.


So here we are back on the path, enjoying another sunset. Life is good.
