Might have been a little under stated

My last post about trail conditions might have been a little under stated in the ice department.

Ninety-per-cent of the trail is clear or muddy but the first kilometre out from the pool centre parking lot is a ribbon of ice and tough to run on without screws in your shoes (or some assistance). The same is true of the first 300 metres off Martin's Road up toward the farmer's field on Head Waters Trail.

There is a a strip of ice on the trail leading to the Gulch off Martin's Road on the way back to the main trail to the parking lot and the Gulch is icy and snowy but has some leaf and pine needle cover for some assistance in the climb.

There are two trees down on the Head Waters Trail; one is just below the rise to Turner's favourite hill to climb and another after the junction on the round section of the upper portion of the trail. There has been a trail down on the section from Martin's Road to the Gulch for sometime and it is still there.

In the conservation area proper the trail is fine throughout. Someone has cleared any trees that were block in the trail (we did not go out the dog-leg to Turnbull Road this morning, we are getting lazy I guess).

Happy running! Will be out tomorrow again.
