Fort St. Catherine is at the heart of Bermuda’s history and colonization. The site overlooks St. Catherine’s beach, where Admiral Sir George Somers shipwrecked the Sea Venture in 1609. Shortly after the original settlers arrived onto Bermuda’s shores, a smaller wooden fort was built by the island’s first governor, Richard Moore, in 1612. Today, an expansive stone fortification stands proudly in its place. The purpose of the forts eastern coastline position was very tactical in the sense that, foreign vessels who made their way into the main channel around St. George’s island had to travel nearer to shore due to the constraints of surrounding reefs. Incoming vessels could then be targeted with ease by 5 defending cannons that could release shells weighing up to 400 pounds.

A loaded pack, a full water bottle, and a trail ahead. 🎒💧

The destination changes, but the fundamentals stay the same—good gear, proper preparation, and enough water to keep going when the miles start adding up. ⛰️

📝For the Old Rag loop (≈9.3mi), I brought 2L of water and used about 1.5L, it was around 75°F and sunny. Everyone’s intake is different, so you should train and learn the amount that’s best for you. We had one team member use 3L of water.

🪧A few of the nature information signs from the hiking trails at Assateague Island National Seashore. 🌊 SEE BELOW⬇️
More than half of Assateague Island National Seashore’s 48,000 acres is comprised of near-shore and estuarine waters, and the interplay between these waters and the barrier island affects nearly every aspect of life in this dynamic coastal environment.
The geography of the island itself is in a state of constant flux, continuously being reshaped by the elemental forces of wind and water. Powerful storms can dramatically alter the shoreline in a matter of hours, as waves wash over the beach and reshape the island from ocean to bay. Other forces sculpt the landscape in less obvious ways. Exposure to salt spray, lack of fresh water, and isolation from the mainland are subtle, but powerful influences on the Island’s species composition. Over time, these conditions have produced a community of plants and animals uniquely suited to the extremes found at the edge of the sea.
Human activities also exert a strong influence Assateague’s natural environment. Beginning in the 1600’s, colonists used the Island for grazing horses and other livestock. The bands of wild horses living on Assateague today are descendents of those domesticated animals and remain a powerful force acting on the island’s natural systems. At various times in its history, fishing villages, industrial sites, and even a network of lifesaving stations for stranded mariners have all left their marks.
Then as now, the dynamic nature of the island continues to manifest itself in both subtle and dramatic ways, giving Assateague its unique and special character.
