The story of a northern B.C. man's "fowl" close encounter
"If you go down to the woods today, you're in for a big surprise......" It may not be a GOOD surprise, but it's highly likely that something out of the ordinary will happen once you lock your front door and head out in to nature. Don't drop your guard, nature is often trying to do us in, and in this episode we hear the story of a place that is really "Nature-lite" as it is a popular Urban hike up a mountain that is not without it's own ghosts. Just because we build trails, give cute names to mountains, lakes and rivers, doesn't mean they can't hurt us. The wilderness claims thousands of lives every year and does that energy just "disappear"? We don't think so. Neither do the people who spoke up about the Grouse Grind and the Ghosts of Grouse Mountain, this story can also be found in "Vancouver's Most Haunted" from Touchwood Editions

Join us for an extra-basic and super fun episode with one of our closest pals, Olivia. Along with some fun anecdotes and discussion about our favorite Lululemon tops, Olivia provides some great insight into how hiking has shaped her life and identity (in particular, in her transition out of competitive sport).

For better or worse, toddlers have some limits when it comes to hiking. We discuss what we look for when choosing a toddler friendly hike, including all the times we haven't followed our own advice! Takeaways: Accept that shorter can often be better Short hikes can be deceiving - remember to check the elevation gain and starting elevation. Read descriptions for safety hazards (e.g. river crossings, exposed ledges) A lake, beach or (safe) lookout make the destination more tangible for kiddos. Just because someone posted a beautiful photo on Instagram, does not mean it's an appropriate hike for you and your kids. Check out websites like Vancouver Trails for great info and comments Do your research, but remember to believe in yourself. You can do hard things!

On my last full day in Vancouver I did the Grouse Grind and met up with a couple old friends from my high school days. So it was a great day! I also talk a bit about my feelings of starting the trek home shortly and some of the emotions I think I will be processing over the next couple weeks.
Barrie Street. "I am 84 and feel 48. I’m blessed to have a passion for fitness, which I would love to spread in my blog Over70andfit.com. I would also be delighted to reach folks who are less than 70. The message I am trying to impart is that ANYONE of ANY AGE can be fit and it is NEVER too late to start. I believe - indeed I know - that fitness can be inextricably woven into our fabric."Teaching has been one of my major passions, mainly involved at the secondary school level.I am entering my 57th year of teaching Math with the same passion as when I began. Spending so much time with young people – whether teaching or coaching them soccer, field hockey, tennis, cross-country running, cricket or ping pong – has kept me young in mind. Young people will always remain the back-bone of society and to help them grow and mature has always been a privilege.Travelling has occupied a great deal of my leisure time, having visited some 50 countries – many of which we erroneously call Third World nations – sharing their cultures and learning to appreciate their diverse lifestyles. Also learning to acknowledge how gracious and happy they are, despite often living in destitute conditions and being without the basic essentials of life. I have learned far more from them about the true values of life than I have from our own materialistic society. I have often encouraged my students to travel and acquire a better understanding of life.Volunteering has probably brought me the most satisfaction. I have been able to teach teachers in Ethiopia, Zimbabwe and Jamaica and also teach children in Guatemala and Costa Rica. I have come away from all these experiences more enriched. Helping to build a village for abandoned children in Costa Rica 40 years ago – one of the boys I found living in a cardboard box on the street still keeps in touch with me – reminded me of my own childhood. My parents abandoned me when I was 6 and this experience gave me a compassion and understanding which otherwise I would never have acquired. Another exciting project was collecting a mountain of soccer equipment here in Vancouver – all of which would have been consigned to the garbage dump – and delivering it to a black South African township. This was gold to the kids.Sports and exercise have brought me colossal fitness and health. I played team sports from the age of 10 to my mid-forties and then I began running, culminating in a marathon within a year. I was hooked. At 50, I graduated to triathlons and competed in my first Ironman, also within a year. From then on, I have been running, playing tennis and climbing our local iconic mountain – the Grouse Grind – which I have completed more than 2000 times.Barrie Street's blog can be found at www.Over70andFit.com

You'd never know Brooke was such a stud unless you looked her up. The modest athlete has been the female multi- Grouse Grind record holder for 2 years, recently breaking her own record by completing the 853 meter (2800 feet) climb 18 times in one day. Brooke grew up an athlete playing a variety of sports, and eventually went to the NCAA for rowing. She opens up about life after her rowing career, feeling nervous at start lines, and her battle with breast cancer at only 35 years old. More from me @hilsport55 More from Brooke @ brooke_spence
