A great weekend of walking with friends who attended these two weekend walk events. Excellent weather along the trail at Irish Cove/Uist Lake on Sunday 22 April.
Please note: this was a previous walk along the brook at Rotary Park
The weather was even better and the trail much drier on Saturday, 21 April when we strolled through Sydney and Rotary and Wentworth Parks and visited the "Big Fiddle along the Sydney boardwalk. It was T-shirt weather!!
