As seen in this photo the ocean along Havenside Drive was calm while the clouds drifted by. Only a light breeze made for a a very relaxing walk along the coastline and we were delighted not to be rained on for the duration of the walk.
The walk leaders Shirley Pettigrew and Carol Hiscock lead us from the picnic area at Kennelly Point then along Havenside Drive for a return trip to Kennelly Point, a distance of 5k.
After a short break we headed towards the Louisbourg light and then along the fairly new and much improved Coastal Trail for the additional 5k. to makeup for our 10k event. The coastal trail continues to Gun Cove, where General Wolf disembark large cannons that eventually were dragged along this same area to the lighthouse to be used against the fortress.
Normally, there are great views along the coast but the infamous fog banks at Louisbourg soon rolled in to take over and hide the small islands, and small outcrops of rocks that are numerous in this harbour. Unfortunately Fortress Louisbourg, that can normally be seen from different points along the trail was shrouded in the fog as well.
