The only things you will regret are the risks you don't take
I wrote a reverse bucket list a year ago, and it allowed me to be grateful and put life into perspective. I was reflecting on the changes in my life this year and decided to do one for 2015. I think I will make one yearly to reflect on my accomplishments and things I should…
I think we can agree his winter has been a downer for winter activities. Here is hoping that the coming snowstorm also means more winter activities are on the horizon. I may not have been able to do any skiing or snowshoeing this Christmas holiday, but I did get in some hiking. My new…

I've been neglecting my GroPro for awhile and have not posted a new riding video since my cross country one last year, so I thought I would play around with it in the indoor arena. I have not been jumping as much this summer, so here we are playing around over some smaller fences!
As the fall season comes to a close (although it is still awful warm here for December), I have been trying to find some fun adventures close to home. The Halton Agreement Forest and Hilton Falls happen to be a short drive away. We decided to explore some of the agreement forest before continuing to…

Well it happened! I got my B license this season and it feels pretty awesome. Earlier this year I wrote about getting solo certified and getting my A license, so I am incredibly excited to say I also got my B this year! I am a pretty goal oriented person, so having specific achievements…
A late fall Friday afternoon was the perfect opportunity to visit Scenic Caves for the Eco Adventure tour, we also decided to try the ‘Thunderbird Twin Zip Line.’ The Eco Adventure Tour is a fun mix of hiking, tree top trekking, a few zip lines and a short tour of the caves. Personally I…

The sun glints brightly outside the hard metal plane. The light flicks to red, as a chorus of “door” is yelled out through the plane. I turn away from the excited tandem student beside me and push up the plane door. I peek out and see the dropzone far below like a tiny piece of…
Unfortunately this year was not great for backcountry camping. Between school, internships, skydiving and life in general, it just didn’t happen. I am still attempting to plan something for the fall, but day trips may be it this year. I talked about hiking at Rattlesnake Point, but another great place is the Guelph Lake Conservation…

It's hard to believe its over. At the end of the journey it seems like a blink-of-an-eye, but there were many stressful days, almost all night-ers and cram sessions. We made it though! The class portion of Humber PR is done! This program has been a whirlwind and is certainly not for the faint of…
