The next walk event for the CB Island Hoppers will be Sunday, June 11, 2006.

Registration begins at 1:30 and we start walking at 2:00PM.

Location: Pringle Mtn Road/Trail

When travelling From the CBRM take the #4 Hwy to St Peters and continue through the village to River Tillard Bridge,

This is the area where the #4 meets the 104 Hwy

Do not cross the River Tillard Bridge, Turn Right before crossing the bridge following the signs marked Oban Rd.

Anyone travelling from the Port Hawkesbury or west side of the island will have to cross the Bridge and turn LEFT.

You will pass under two main Power Lines, a short distance past the second Power Line take the Road to the Right and continue to our Start Point.

From the #4 to the Start Point is 7.5 Kms, a gravel road that is in almost better shape then the paved Hwy 4.

Our signs CBIH} will be posted along the route.

The Trail:
We will only be using a small portion of this trail, the remainder of the walk will take place on back roads with some very nice views atop of the Mtn. This will be an easy walk and is suitable for walkers of all abilities. Please note some hills but WC accessible. Due to weather conditions the trail that we originally planned to use is unacceptable for our needs.
The pre-walkers encountered over 14 water obstacles before calling it quits and scouting out a new route.
