Well section #32 – 1 Complete

23 kilometers with our full packs today.

My pack weight 22lbs,

Petra – pack weight 32 lbs

Meadow – pack weight 19lbs

whoever told us PEI was flat, well they were dead wrong. As you can see by our route map our elevation gain was 221 meters it really felt like we were going up hill all day, and with our full pack weight it was a bit grueling.

We had planned to have lunch in Clyde River, that was also a mistake as there are actually no restaurants in Clyde River, so anyone else doing this section there are lots of places to eat in Cornwall or before, we ended up stopping at the Clyde River golf course and picked up a sandwich thank goodness they were open because we were hungry.

We also stopped before that at Owls Hollow a toy and game store.

The ladies working today were so nice, and gave us a really nice PEI sticker for our collection, they are just on the outskirts of Charlotre and the store is very interesting with some an awesome toy collection and they do birthday parties on site.!

At the end of the walk today we were expecting to see some kind of way point 1 marker so we could document the occasion but there actually isn’t one, it was confusing 🤔 so for anyone doing the walk take a picture of the Island Walk sign when you see it, it shows a 1 on it with a wayfinding arrow that is waypoint 1. When we start tomorrow we will take a picture of it but we thought it meant we had to turn right and then we would find way point 1.

So all in all it was a good day with only a minor amount of swearing when we turned a corner and saw another hill. Looking forward to another lobster Roll tonight, and 24 km tomorrow but with only a day pack as we are staying two nights at our B&B.
