CAPE MABOU TRAILS GUIDED WALK EVENT

CAPE MABOU TRAILS SUNDAY 22 JUNE 2014


CBIH AT THE TOP OF THE VIEWING AREA

Sunday 22 June The Island Hoppers headed up the Mabou Hiking Trails.
Our Guide for the day was Nadine Hunt a member of the Tails Association that maintain the trails.

We want to take this opportunity to thank Nadine for her patients in getting the group up to the top of the mountain and guiding us along this portion of the very extensive Cape Mabou Trails system.

John Merrick has passed on the following information

Hi all,
As near as I can figure without any GPS confirmations; from the car park at approx 40m above sea level (ASL) we climbed to a point at the first look off at approx 175m ASL; ie., a hill of approx 450 feet....and then kept on going farther up for probably another 150-200 feet.
John

There are many more trails to explore in this region and I hope to get up there once again this year to select some more fantastic walking trails.

This is a great experience for all Cape Bretoners to see and hopefully more of our visitors to the island will get to experience this beautiful landscape as well.

The Social Committee made reservation at the Mull Restaurant in The Village of Mabou, where 16 of our members enjoyed good meals, good drinks, great desserts and good friendship at the end of the day. Well worth the 2 hour trip from Sydney and Glace Bay and other parts of the island.
John and Bev Merrick from Dartmouth Volksmarch Club joined us for the day and they hope to participate in more walk events with the CBIH as members, and as well, they maintain a summer residence in Cape Breton. Welcome aboard folks.
