Yukon Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Went for a nice ride with some friends on Saturday , enjoying some of what District 8 had to offer special thanks to Sno Voyageurs Club and Georgian Bay Snow Riders for making a great day for us . We toured up to Cedar Point then back down to Midland and over to the Georgian Bay Islands National Park (Beausolei Island). Totaling about 250km , stellar day. Here's the video highlights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 One of the best snowmobile videos I've ever watched. The start was special. A view up to the tall trees. Kudos to the videographer and editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos to the videographer and editor. He just bought a gopro cam and it was his first edit with the new footage , will be more to come over the winter......

Wildbill Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Awesome video well done worthy of an "Ocer" nomination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dweese Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Cool video, the wide angle lens makes it look like your about 10 feet tall from the helmet shots. Got a GoPro for Christmas haven't got to play with it much yet, but can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Fly Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 What is the camera type?...Go Pro? Is colour available? What trail is this...I'd like to try it soon. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrizzlyGriff Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Great video...going up on Friday. Where do you access the crossing to Beausoleil Island? Thanks Paul pgriff800@i-zoom.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Where do you access the crossing to Beausoleil Island? From Penetang or Midland (trail goes out to the island, and then you have the choice of riding the island trail. Often bumpy, so if it's a rough start on the trail, it will continue to be rough). Find a group of sledders 'on shore', and they may head out that way. From Honey Harbour. A bit trickier, because you have to veer right as you come down the boat ramp in front of the General Store. Again, best done following someone who's been there before. ( I suppose you can also access from Victoria Harbour, Waubeshine, etc. but that's tricky and not recommended).

Thanks Canuck, We are no longer using the boat launch at the town Dock , it was degrading to much with all the traffic . We now have a land use agreement with the Church next door , which has allowed us to run the trail through the Parking lot (Closed in Winter to cars) and run to the ice from there... Signs are in place for direction so should'nt be any trouble finding it , makes for a better straight shot through town with less turns as well ....

Canuck Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Thanks YC. (it's less than 100 metres from the old ramp, so not a major re-route. The ramp was icy, at times) Very nice of the church to permit access. The ice run from Honey Harbour to Beauseloil and then to Midland/Penetang is one of the nicer rides in Ontario (IMHO).

I have not sledded in Midland or Penetang and was wondering if the club trails just run right on to the lake, making that crossing easy to find. Was it at the end of a certain trail number, or did you have to run some streets and off trail stuff. Sorry to be a pain. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
