Liz Robertson, Trail Traveller

Liz Robertson, also known in the Wakefield area as Pip, spends plenty of time on the trails. Originally from New Zealand, she now calls Wakefield home. As a fitness instructor, she often uses the trails for boot camps and even incorporates trail work into the workouts!

​“….we can give back to the community, we can have a workout, we help trail build and we have fun at the same time!”
I, for one, can relate to Pip when she explains the security she feels when venturing out into a wilderness that is REALLY close to civilization. “Being from New Zealand and not being used to bears or things that might be out, these are great because they are closer to community."
 
Perhaps Pip’s biggest observation while out on the trails with her dog is the parallels that can be drawn between our personal growth and evolution and that of the nature around us.
 
“It’s a combination of things that are new, seedlings, treelings, things that are growing, things that are in their later stages and things that have died and are returning to the earth. You’re actually going thru a whole spectrum of life as you walk thru trails. So you see this eco system, but you also see life as it actually evolves for us as well.”
