Friday

A Day Out By the River!

With a wicked day planned and ahead of me, I prepared to head out on my way to Hespeler-Preston, and along the trail, to go fishing, fiddle-head hunting, foraging, and adventuring!

For it was to be a good day before the storm!


The Venture Around!

I departed central Hespeler in search of good venture...

20250516_191406.jpg

For it was a beautiful day for a journey!

20250516_191624.jpg

20250516_191630.jpg

I traveled throughout the forest,

20250516_191638.jpg

20250516_191649.jpg

And eventually hit the core of Hespeler| Village,

20250516_192355.jpg

20250516_192417.jpg

Before reaching a nearby fishing spot!

Behind the old Silknet Lens Mill,

20250516_193520.jpg

20250516_193524.jpg

And with a beautiful view upstream,

20250516_193553.jpg

20250516_193557.jpg

I snapped a few shots,

20250516_194837.jpg

20250516_194843.jpg

For the sun was setting a beautiful shade;

20250516_194900.jpg

I enjoyed -and snapped- every bit of light there was left!

For, as dawn went dark and nightfall alike,

20250516_211324.jpg

20250516_211435.jpg

It definitely was a beautiful night!

20250516_211501.jpg

Hmmmm...

20250516_213321.jpg

I wonder how this got all the way out here...?

Anywyho, a good bike altogether!

A beautiful day!


Saturday and Sunday

My Days -

Waking up early today, I headed on way to Mississauga for a celebration!

For, after arriving,

20250517_123443.jpg

20250517_123439.jpg

There was quite a large storm passing by!

20250517_123333.jpg

20250517_122709.jpg


I eventually went out when it cleared up,

20250517_124619.jpg

20250517_133840.jpg

And went for a short walk,

1000115464.jpg

Around the nearby Lake Wabukayne park!

20250517_135110.jpg

20250517_135104.jpg

For as the nearing storm came in,

1000115458.jpg

I departed on way back!

1000115462.jpg

1000115457.jpg


Following the next day, I went for another adventure early morning!


My Journey to Preston and Back - #1

I began my cycle through the Mill Run Trail, and began some photography as I reached Riverside Park!

20250518_122540.jpg

There were a few anglers out fishin today too!

20250518_122834.jpg

20250518_122838.jpg

The Speed River and dam!

20250518_122842.jpg

I crossed the bridge and road,

20250518_122948.jpg

20250518_122955.jpg

And arrived at the other side of the Speed River, just before the merge into the Grand!

I trekked along, snapping some final shots of the nearby homes,

20250518_141525.jpg

20250518_141540.jpg

I traveled on bike my ways back to Preston, and passed intertwining city streets to get out of core.

20250518_141531.jpg

20250518_141525.jpg

It was definitely a good workout too!

Time for some nerd-stats.

A good venture overall!

Now, onto Journey 2!


My Journey to Preston and Back- #2!

With time, I started my journey this evening a little bit differently than previous;

20250519_003434.jpg

It was raining upstream and water flowing quick around the Speed Convergence -

A promising venture if I say so myself!

20250519_004427.jpg

So, as I arrived, -after following Eagle St. past Concession St. to Gus Rd., then entering the Riverside Trail/Mill Run ending section- leading to the front entry, where, similarly to earlier, snapped a shot of the gate!

I continued along the train tracks again just west of the park gates, where, after setting up my partner with a good spot for fishing, I first safeguarded and booby-trapped the area for safety, and then separated for a little to snap some pictures of the surrounding areas beauty!

20250519_012539.jpg

20250519_012511.jpg

20250519_012508.jpg

The force of the water was loud whilst moving quick,

20250519_012526.jpg

And I made my way,

20250519_012550.jpg

Gently,

20250519_012559.jpg

20250519_012603.jpg

Slowly,

20250519_012733.jpg

20250519_012740.jpg

20250519_012748.jpg

& Cautiously!

20250519_012819.jpg

For I didn't want a similar repeat to when I got stuck on these tracks last week, with an incoming train!

So after a short walk around, and a few fish caught back on the latter side by my significant other, we were soon departed on way back, close to 3am, the same trail at Gus taken there, to central Concession's Eagle St. and access, as well as subsequent passing of Industrial and Hespeler Rd., making it officially back before sunrise!

That was one heck of a workout!

Time for some MORE nerd-stats.

A great -thought to be short ride/venture originally, but the same time oddly as my prior ones'-overall!

But wait!

I'm gonna add in one more days worth of adventuring...just not by bike!

*It will be the next posting on this blog!

For the day was busy up until early afternoon, and while some things got accomplished, like chores, errands, etc, there still was a whole day ahead of me!
