VIDEO: Epic hike adventure training continues with a trek up to Cottle Hill
Editor’s Note: This is the second in a three-part series from NanaimoNewsNOW reporter Ian Holmes as he explores local hikes.
NANAIMO — In preparation for an ambitious week-long 135 kilometre family hike along storied Hadrian’s Wall in northern England, I’ve been adding elevation training to my routine.
Truthfully, I don’t know if elevation is the best way to ready my body for this primarily flat hike in England later this month, I just favour exercising where rewarding views are involved.
A classic favourite in my trail-running repertoire is the hike up Cottle Hill in the Linley Valley neighbourhood.
