WALKING A LINKS GOLF COURSE - CABOT LINKS

INVERNESS BEACH - TRANS CANADA TRAIL - A LINKS GOLF COURSE

CABOT LINKS GOLF COURSE - A TRUE LINKS COURSE

NO GOLF CARTS ALLOWED HERE!!

Volkssporters are always looking for that special unique walking trail

The Cape Breton Island Hoppers Volkssport Club had that unique experience as we strolled along the edge of the Cabot Links Golf Course,and the Inverness Beach,located in the Community of Inverness, Inverness County.

The website  http://cabotlinks.com/golf will give you a better description of a "links golf course". Golfers,who are interested in experiencing a unique challenge should consider this course on their "bucket list".

This is indeed a remarkable experience and an exciting change within this former coal mining community then from our previous walk event here over the years.

The Inverness Beach as always is a wonderful place to walk, plus the Trans Canada Trail System (Inverness Shean Trail) and the added feature of a new golf course has made the volkssport event here to be a very special place to walk.

The trail portion of our walk event along the old railway bed proved to be a very interesting excursion as well when we came across what looked like a small abandoned locomotive.

  This is in fact an outdoor furnace!! this heats the three storey home located in the background.

Special thanks to Janice and Norm Johnson who took the time to search out this walk event. A great walk!

More photos of the event can be found on our Photo gallery section.

CHALLENGE WALK - MONEY POINT TRAIL

MONEY POINT TRAIL 30 SEPTEMBER 2012

A Very special thank you to our walk leaders Diane and Bruce Clark for this very special annual event and locating this new, to us trail. Great job folks and thanks to all those members who had taken up the challenge to walk for the fun of it. You did it!

Not a promising beginning as the road and trail was washing out beneath us before we even started to walk

START POINT - BAY ST LAWRENCE

 The CBIH Annual Challenge Walk Event takes place at the end of September or early October. This years event proved to be a definite challenging in several ways, not only did we traverse the mountain going to "Money Point" but we were also challenged by the adverse weather conditions of heavy rain, and thick fog, and at times we would have difficulty in seeing the end of the group in the fog, that rolled in across the barrens and cliffs off Money Point.

"MONEY POINT" the highlight and turn around for our 13 K Guided Walk. Out there somewhere  is the sea and St Paul's Island!

The walk leaders Diane and Bruce Clark, led this years group walk to "Money Point Trail", an open barren cape jutting out into the sea with fantastic views (when there is no fog). Money Point Trail should not to be confused with our previous events over the years to the former "Money Point Lighthouse".
