  • This video shows a segment of my Sunday February 5th, 2023 skating adventure on the Trent Severn Waterway in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. Completed in 1920, the Trent-Severn Waterway spans a total distance of 386km, connecting Lake Ontario with Lake Huron through a series of 44 locks. In this video I skated approximately 800 metres from the top of Ashburnham Lock #20 to the bottom of the Peterborough Lift Lock #21 (not #19 as I accidentally called it in the video). I passed under the Maria Rd swing bridge and another swing bridge for Canadian Pacific Railway's Havelock Subdivision.

    CJ, I took my dog to the Rosedale Golf club today, and was recalling your terrific video last year cross country skiing. Because of that video, I was informed that the public was allowed to enjoy that incredibly special area of Toronto you would never normally see.
    I am always grateful of the content of your videos.
    It was highly ironic that you posted this video later that same day after a long hiatus.
    You were missed.

      Awesome! I'm glad I was able to pass along my tip about that golf course. I only learned about it thanks to a comment that was left on one of my videos!

    We really enjoyed this video. Your phone gives a very steady image. Thanks for bringing us on your adventures.

      Thanks! Image stabilization has certainly come a long way since the first time I tried to record a video while skating, back in 2011.

    Always happy to see your videos from enjoying the outdoors. Where I live in Norway there's usually neither snow nor ice, so it's good to watch it on the screen.

    Thought you would’ve studded the Green Machine and rode down the canal 😂 lol. I thought it would have been to warm for the canal to be open for skating.

    • @cjhoyle

      haha well it wouldn't be the first time my green machine has ridden over frozen water. I had been quite cold in the days leading up to the day I went skating there, so I was pretty sure it would be open that day (and confirmed on the website).

    Great to see a video from CJ Hoyle pop up on RUclips today! It's been a while! Looks like a cool place to skate Christopher! My friend's sister lives in Peterborough and she posted on Strava her skate along the canal just the day before you went there! I didn't know that they had a section of this canal open for skating. Do you know if any other sections of the Trent Severn Waterway have skating?

    • @cjhoyle
      @cjhoyle  Год назад +2

      Wow, small world! I'm not aware of other parts of the Trent-Severn that are maintained for skating, but I've never researched it. I heard about skating on the canal in Peterborough a few years back, and it took me a while to finally get there and actually do it. I feel very fortunate having been able to skate in Peterborough this winter, considering Ottawa didn't get the chance to open their skateway the whole winter!
