Get back on trail with the fifth episode of Season Two : End to End Hiking The Bruce Trail, A Journey Across Ontario.
"Blantrye"

This was the start of an epic two day Bruce Trail adventure with an overnight at one of the few official camping spots along the Bruce Trail : “Ambrose Camp”. It was a gorgeous day as we continued up the Beaver Valley with it’s vast landscape and views.
We had some road sections on this blue sky sunny morning - which were easy going and fun. We were soon rewarded by the lovely Webwood Falls, also the site of some old mill ruins.
As we walked through the subsequent fields, the birds – crows and vultures and hawks – were playing in the winds and celebrating the gorgeous spring weather, along with us.
We came across some great cliff formations, and a creek that sunk underground only to emerge at the base of the cliff shooting out of cracks in the rock. We were excited to stop at the famous “Blantyre Pub” for some fish and chips and a couple of pints before camp but alas it may have just been a rural myth.
We arrived at camp an hour before sunset – just enough time to set up, start a fire, and cook a fine dinner. There was a great spring fed creek at the camp for some refreshing water. With the tractors humming in the fields through the night we slept well.
