Meeting 5 of the
Wawanosh Winter Warriors
was held on Monday, Febru-
ary 16, 2015 at 10:15am at
the Benmiller Falls
Reserve. Members were
encouraged to bring
friends. The club sat around
an outdoor campfire while
waiting for the whole group
to arrive.
Sarah Alexander opened
the meeting with the 4-H
pledge, which was followed
by roll call. Sarah asked each
of the members to list some-
thing that they would bring
snowshoeing. Many mem-
bers answered with items
that would keep them warm,
such as scarves, extra mit-
tens and socks, and layers, or
items that would keep them
safe, such as a phone, watch,
map or buddy.
Next members got outfit-
ted for snowshoeing with
assistance from the volun-
teers at the park. The volun-
teers went through how to
put on the snowshoes cor-
rectly and went around
ensuring everyone was com-
fortable and had done it
correctly.
The Winter Warriors then
headed out on the trails. The
club stayed together for most
of the walk. The trail pro-
vided a variety of terrain
with hills, wooded and open
sections, as well as terrific
views of the park and the
Maitland River. The group
broke into two smaller
groups and one enjoyed a
longer walk while the others
headed back to get warm. At
the end of their walk, the
club enjoyed hot chocolate,
popcorn and hotdogs that
were waiting for them at the
shed. Although it was a cold
day, being in the bush
blocked most of the wind,
and many of the members
and leaders admitted they
broke a sweat during the
walk. This was a first time
snowshoeing for some but
they all agreed that it was a
great winter activity. Once
they were looking at the map
they discovered the one
group had gone on a 3.25km
loop while the other had
gone on loop about 4km
long.
The club will meet next for
achievement on Saturday,
February 21st at loam at the
Auburn Hall. Members are
to dress warm for a game of
Mushball and other winter
activities.
Meeting 6 is being held on
February 27th at the Wing -
ham Curling Club.
