Day 8 – Roberts Mountain & White Point hikes
Roberts Mountain, Pleasant Bay, Sept. 2014
It was cool and windy (30-50km) on the morning’s hike on Roberts Mountain. White cap waves averaging 2-3 feet high could be seen on the ocean. Toques, gloves and warm clothes were the norm on this hike especially on top and coming down the mountain. Hikers enjoyed the great view of the Pleasant Bay harbour & community below at the top of the summit.
White Point, Hike the Highlands, Sept. 2014
On the drive over to White Point hike, I thought I saw hail or snow on the pavement ..It was informed just before the hike, White Point had a hail storm in the morning.. It was cool and windy on this hike as well. It hail twice more on the hike before all the hikers made it back to the cars. The day ended with a social and local entertainment in the evening at the Royal Canadian legion in Ingonish.
