I'd love to hook up with anyone interested in either photography or weight training to meet new friends.

I go to the Y a couple days a week in Belleville. Sure would be fun to have a workout buddy, keeps one motivated

Love to show anyone around my neck of the woods. Always nice to make new friends,

Whereabouts in Quinte are you, maybe we can hook up sometime. Being new in these parts a guided tour would be very useful

I took these pics at Wellington Beach today in Prince Edward County. To find these, they are immediately to the left of the huge Water Tower in the middle of the village. You will see the sign "Beach Street', enjoy, Ken

Sounds like we might be able to do a photo shoot sometime together. I'm retired so to a certain extent have an open calendar.

Hi All

We are coming on holiday and will be spending a few days in Kingston and we will be driving down to look at Belleville and the Bay of Quinte while we are there, as one of the areas we are looking at going too, any advice on where to take the kids to appease them whilst we are getting a feel of the place?


All the best
Danny

The kids might like the beach at Sandbanks or Northbeach in Prince Edward County.

If you want to meet up in Napanee then I recommend the Loaf and Ale on Dundas Street but not open Sunday and Monday but they do have draft Guinness.

Hi Danny, depends on the time of year you are visiting of course. In Kingston, in the summer, I'd suggest Old Fort Henry. It may be a bit tame for kids these days , but certainly interesting, here is the URL for it: http://www.forthenry.com/home.htm


Now, another nice thing to do is the 1000 Islands boat tour in the summer out of Kingston: http://www.1000islandscruises.on.ca/


And of course, me being from 'The County" our jewel is the Sandbanks provincial park. We sport some of the largest natural sand dunes in the world I'm told at the Sandbanks beach: http://www.pec.on.ca/other/sandbnks.html


And, while you are in the county, take a look at 'Lake on the Mountain' a natural phenomenon : http://www.pec.on.ca/other/lotm.html

Now, for mom and dad, we have just in recent years got into the Wine making and Vineyards in the '' County": http://www.tastethecounty.ca/

Now, if you like great cheese, I suggest you drive a bit south of Picton to the Black River Cheese Factory, great cheese, curd, and the most amazing ice cream cones I've ever seen and very reasonable too: http://www.pec.on.ca/blackrivercheese/

The only other interesting event that comes to mind is our annual Picton Fair (home of the Crystal Palace) http://www.pec.on.ca/picton/

here is another link to places of interest in the county.http://www.ruralroutes.com/orr_city_...fm?city=Picton

Hope you find this helpful, Ken

by the way, my personal email is [email protected] if anyone cares to contact me without going thru this site.
