Spring is in the air, the clocks sprang ahead this past weekend on Sunday 13 March.
This was our first hint that the walking season has begun for the Cape Breton Island Hoppers Volkssport Club

And

Most of the snow has begun to melt away, the brooks and streams are flowing.
Its time to get out and walk in the fresh air and hopefully sunshine.

Sunday 20th March is the first day of spring and the first Group Guided Walk Event for the Island Hoppers.
