Day 2 – White Point & Franey
The hiking gods were with us today and all three outdoor events took place on day 2 of 2010 Hike the Highlands Festival, despite a weather forecast that included rain & showers…. The nature & landscape photography workshop orginially scheduled for White Point moved to Black Brook, Cape Breton Highlands National Park, because of rain. Wally Hayes showed us how to take pictures of waves breaking over rocks and falls pictures.
The White Point/Burnt Head hike led by guide Lisa Dixon had 49 hikers enjoyed the incredible coastal scenery and breaking waves on the coastline. Showers started at the end of the hike but everyone had made it back in time. The Franey hike in the afternoon attracted 54 hikers, the most ever on this trail, and caused a few parking problems but it worked out ok. The sun came out on top of the mountain to brighten the day & show the spectacular views of the Clyburn Valley.

The evening presentation by Andrew Powter – hiking the West Highland Way in Scotland attracted a nice crowd and lots of interesting questions. At the end of the evening, Andrew and Juanita talked about the The East Coast Trail in Newfoundland and showed pictures of their hikes on this trail.
