 Sunday September 13th

The weather was pretty wet in the morning.  It cleared up by lunchtime so we decided on the spur of the moment to try another hike while the weather held.

We started out at Bognor Marsh where the Bruce Trail enters it on the south side.  It turned out to be very wet and muddy due to the heavy overnight rain.  In fact, much of the trail was covered in water.  Not being well prepared for this, we backtracked and decided to hike somewhere else that was on higher ground.

We drove north to highway 26 where the Bruce Trail crosses it at a hamlet called Woodford. The trail was not hard to find and there's plenty of space to park.  The BT guide showed a side trail that formed a loop with the main trail so that was perfect for a brief hike.

Along the way we saw a lot of fungi, evidently brought out by the wet weather:



There are some features along this piece of trail including a narrow crevice that's hardly wide enough to walk through without twisting sideways. A sign warns people with claustrophobia to avoid it!

There are also some rock formations such as this pot hole.  It's possible that it's man-made as there's an old mill around here: it may have been part of that.
