MUN’S OCEAN SCIENCES CENTRE TO WWII FOXHOLE ON SUGARLOAF HEAD
Although it had been calling for rain (and although we hit rain right up to Stavanger Drive on our way to Logy Bay), the trail was nice and dry. We prepared for the rain nonetheless – Amélie put her raincoat on and Évangéline was bundled up in her snowsuit.
The hike up the Sugarloaf was pleasant despite the strong winds, and Amélie’s performance on was nothing short of impressive – she hiked all the way up to Sugarloaf Head in one go and wanted to keep going!
Given the chance of a change in the weather, it was decided we’d turn back right away. Since we’ve already climbed Bawden’s Highland, we now only have 5.4km left to hike on this trail – a distance Amélie should be able to do on a good day!
