For this hike, I chose to stay close to the harbor where the boat is anchored. The Ferry Reach and Martelo Tower trail fit the bill. It’s just over 6.5 miles.

There is a marked trail called the Hamilton to St. George’s Trail. I decided to walk the distance to where the boat owner plans to anchor for a couple of days.

The most prominent of the hiking trails on the Islands is the Bermuda Railway Trail. This trail, although running with gaps in it, is throughout the Islands.

The Ouachita Trail was what I expected and not expected. While the rocks were mentioned when I researched the trail, the plethora of them was an eye-opener.

The title “… The End” almost didn’t happen. A wild storm blew in at 3:30 a.m. It afforded me the opportunity to see a test of the Scott Tarvin Shelter.

Sun up and time to hit the trail. It’s tough leaving the luxurious Red Bluff Creek Shelter. Two days to finish, so off I go to the Scott Tarvin Shelter.

I had to quicken my pace to get to the next shelter before dark. The Red Bluff Creek Shelter came into view just as it was starting to get dark.

The rocks were back and towards the end of the day there was a big climb to the Brown Creek Shelter. These climbs to shelters cannot be a coincidence.
Today’s plan is to go little less than 9 miles to the Oak Mountain Shelter. I was off by 7:30 a.m. This was another day of rocks and going up and down gaps.
