SPECIAL WALK EVENT (WEDNESDAY 29 AUGUST)


COME JOIN US FOR A SPECIAL WALK EVENT HOSTED BY THE CBIH ON (WEDNESDAY 29 AUGUST)

The Viking Bus Tour Event on arrival back from Newfoundland will have their very last Walk  at Uisge Ban Falls Provincial Park/Trail.
When completed they will return to the Halifax/Dartmouth area.

For those of us who could not make it to NL this is an excellent opportunity to meet other Volkssporters from across the Atlantic and other Canadian Provinces.

This is another great opportunity for those collecting IVV stamps.

WEDNESDAY 29 AUGUST, REGISTRATION 09:30am

Our  planned walk time is now 10:00am

HOWEVER the timings may be altered slightly due to the arrival of the Viking Bus Tour.

Any changes will be published on this site as late as 8:00pm Tuesday 28 Aug.

The walk Event will go as close as possible to the waterfall (the bridge to the falls is not open to the public as it is under repairs)

The River Trail is open and is an excellent walk event through old growth forest.

Come join your fellow CBIH friends for a fun filled morning walk at Uisge Ban Park.
