An Island Mountain Ramblers’ Trip
We had two groups, and after meeting at Roche Cove and swapping vehicles, my group drove to Aylard Farm, where we started off at about 9 a.m. A hot day! Even along the ocean, but much cooler in the shade of the trees. We didn’t hurry, and our total time was 7 1/2 hours, but according to my Gaia appears the moving time was only 5 hours 39 minutes. So we revelled in the sights along this beautiful trail for almost two hours!
Starting off from Aylard Farm
So Many Fabulous Scenic Vistas
At the 49th Parallel
Much cooler in the shade of the trees
Possibly my favourite spot on the trail
And oh, the flowers!
And, to keep us on our toes, some steepish ups and downs to navigate
Shaorong dancing to the finish line!
