Notes: Canada Day Walk, Louisbourg Event & Pringle Mtn Fog

First I would like to welcome

Lee and Suzanne Lazaro
Grand Mira North, Marion Bridge

Who will be joining us in the near future.

Lee and Suzanne are Part time residents to Cape Breton and are ready to explore CB with The Island Hoppers.

Welcome Folks We hope you find us a friendly group of walkers.



"The views up here on Pringle Mtn are quite nice with views of St Peters and the ocean off in the distance, believe me!" Said Rollie! all morning while peering through the fog!

We had to abandon the original trail due to the many water obstacles that in other places would be considererd lakes.

However the rain held off and we had a nice cool day for a stroll along the Oban & Pringle Roads at the rear or North of St Peters.

After the walk we all headed forthe "Christmas Shop" and got in some early Xmas shopping then headed for a dinner at the local pub.

Overall despite the overcast weather we had a great day for walking and do what Island Hoppers like to do, "explore this great little island of ours".
