A CELTIC COLOURS WALK IN THE MARGAREE VALLEY Fall adventure on the Marsh Brook Trail, photo is not dated, but could be about 2003!!

CBIH MEMBERS:


Kathi and Phil Rice have invited the group to their home after the next walk.


Message from Kathi and Phil Rice

"We'll be around and happy to help with anything in this neck of the woods for the walk on the 25th.  Also would like to invite the group to our place afterwards for lunch, if that works out.  ( We'll take care of the food and whatever as our way of showing our appreciation to the club and we'll keep it simple.)"


Kathi and Phil are located at 76 Hilltop Road, "Margaree Forks" less then 10 minutes from our Walk Start Point


For the most adventurous amongst us here are the directions or simply follow the carpool group or ["convoy"] to Hilltop Rd:


When departing St Michael's Church, turn right (N) on the East Margaree Rd then left on E. Margaree  Crossing Rd continue over the bridge,

then left (S) towards Margaree Forks and watch for the sign on the RIGHT - S.W. Margaree (Coady) Rd. (there is a  Scotsburn Store/Outlet at this corner as well.

Follow Coady Rd until you see the sign for Hilltop Road on the RIGHT, and continue to the "top" of the hill !
