3 PEAKS HIKING CHALLENGE

Four of our CBIH members "Certin to be Hurtin" attended the 3 Peaks hiking event in the CB Highlands National Park:

Bruce was our TEAM CAPTAIN. There were 10 teams of 4 involved and they are definitely planning it again for next year. There maybe some members who would consider participating next year-it is a great challenge and leaves you with a wonderful sense of accomplishment!

The walk out to Cape Perce was once again a great experience for all. Excellent views of Flint Island, a bird watchers delight, a rugged but scenic coastline.

 

After the walk at Schooner Pond 17 members of the group went out to dinner in Port Morien at "Dock Y'ur Dory Restaurant and B&B.

Good meals and fabulous desserts! Photo was taken on the Patio deck overlooking Morien Harbour.
