On the TransCanada Trail<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The TransCanada Trail is becoming a significant set of trails for hiking and cycling in British Columbia. The trail that begins in Cranbrook travels for forty kilometres to Kimberley \u2013 a paved trail for much of the route that follows an old rail line. Taking along extra water because of the hot conditions, we hiked about sixteen kilometres of the trail with one of our friends who now lives in Cranbrook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, we are making good use of our Pacer Poles which has enabled us to walk more erect and at a quicker pace. On this trail, we walked about 5 km\/hr including the time spent stopped to take photos. We could easily have kept going but our friend had reached her limits for the day and the heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heat is the factor that most steals away energy. The previous day we had intended a second hike in the Grand Forks area, but with temperatures in the mid-thirties Celsius, and our hiking in the late morning at Midway, we ended up resting in the shade at a park in Grand Forks. When we begin to train seriously for the Camino, we will make sure to do most of our hiking in the earlier part of the day. On the Camino, everyone takes off with the first light of dawn, many even setting out earlier because of the heat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
