PRE-WALK TO WILD COVE AND GOOSEBERRY COVE

There is always something to gain when doing a pre-walk as the five adventurers found out while trying to locate a good route through this very special place along the Cape Breton coast near Louisbourg.



The above photo shows Carmel Coffin, Joe MacKinnon and Lucy Nardini along the trail.

The Pre-Walk To Wild Cove and Gooseberry Cove above proved to be one of the most fascinating coastal walk we have attempted, wild flowers abounded everywhere, hidden beaches, reefs and beautiful scenery around each cove and inlet.

Todays walk was a repeat of the route that we followed over ten years ago.

There are only six original members who participated in the Sydney Walk Event (Anne's Walk) from 10 years ago in 1987:
In the front row (R to L) are members who were on that first walk event, Rollie Coombes, Anne Irons, Phil Irons & Carmel Coffin, Carol Butts & Nip Hillier.
