Our next walk event on Sunday 12 July is Middle Head Trail.
Registration begins at 1:30 pm and we step off at 2:00 pm

The Start and Finish Point is Ingonish Beach - 
 Beach Road Ingonish

Note also that the Englishtown Ferry located off Hwy 105 Exit 12 is a slightly shorter route/driving time to Ingonish, however the trip across the ferry, one-way is $7.00 ($3.50 with a Coupon, a book of coupons cost $35.00) with a possible wait time during the weekend, especially on the return trip.

If you take Exit 11 off 105, continuing passed St Ann's College and the Community of North River Bridge you can expect to add about 15 minutes more or less to your driving trip. The hgwy to North River has been upgraded but after the bridge expect some minor rough sections in the Tarbot area!
