Looking back to last summer in Lions Head OntarioLions head is a great place to visit, especially in the summer. Like a lot of places in this area of Ontario, there are endless water views. In Lions Head, there are also mountains to climb, leading you to wonderful lookout spots.We started the day checking out the local beach and campsite, where people camp in tents and trailers by the water.After that, we got some lunch at a local restaurant. The town itself is very small, just a couple of restaurants and an ice cream parlour.We got started late in the day, so I rushed to start a hike in the last hours of daylight. The hike started off in woods, and I found myself climbing over tiny hills and endless rock formations. It was very interesting visually. The hike to the top took about an hour, where I was finally greeted by a tiny lookout point onto the water. I was standing on a sheer cliff, looking out over the horizon and the water. Not for the faint of heart, there was no protective fence, and the lookout was on a very high piece of rock. I caught the sunset, and the scene was breathtaking.The walk back took about 40 minutes. I then enjoyed some fish and chips at the local restaurant.This was well worth the time and effort, and will definitely be going back next summer.

A workout for bikers

I have found biking to be the best activity in the summer. You can cover long distances, all while seeing awesome scenery. Biking to your favourite coffee shop would be a great way to end the ride. There are a couple of concerns for bikers though. They have to make sure their quads, hamstrings and…

Healthy Oat Bread

This bread is delicious. It’s best fresh out of the oven, with a little bit of butter if you eat that. The taste is great. This bread has healthy ingredients, including gut-healthy ingredients. I would say it’s a 90/10 recipe, because I used a little bit of pancake mix in it. I don’t think that’s…
