Early start on July 14th, after a hearty breakfast, we headed out to see the Baccalieu Trail on the peninsula between Trinity Bay and Conception Bay.
We started our trip in Dildo but we have no photos appropriate for posting here :-o
We do have this picture of a very interesting rock formation along the trail. There's a bottle of Nova Scotia wine for the first one to name it :) (we're not shipping any Newfoundland wine home )
As you can see the sights were fantastic - although the places to stop proved difficult, often on the opposite side of the road with lots of loose gravel.
At Heart's Content we were guided by locals to a the lighthouse - a really great view of the bay and the town.
Joe took this great shot - he told Jan and Mary it was of them but, I think it was of the bikes - what do you think?
The GPS's then told us this was the best route to the northern-most point of the peninsula. Gravel was a bit unpredictable - lots of soft places. After about 4km, we met some lads on a 4-wheel ATV that said we would have to cross 24 inches of water if we continued. Back we went to the paved road to complete the loop.
The scenery was the highlight of the day!
