A Nice Walk

Hiking at our Newfoundland cottages

The Berry is in 7th Heaven. Her daughter, Rebecca, son-in-law, Rich and granddaughter, Nell, all recently moved back to Newfoundland. It’s a big day in any family when the prodigal children return!

One of the ways we’ve celebrated was by welcoming the young family at the cottages for a few days.  While here, we went for a walk on one of the dozens of beautiful trails in the area.  This particular one is about 20km, although we didn’t come close to walking the whole thing.

It was a gorgeous walk as Rich, Rebecca, Nell, The Berry, Friday, Murphy and I took in the sun and fresh air. Having easy access to these beautiful hikes is one of my favourite things about the Wonderful World of Whiteway – so current and future guests, if you’re looking for advice or directions to the best ones, just ask!

Hiking in Newfoundland Canada

Jerry and The Berry have been so busy with the opening of The Doctor’s House, that they barely know if they’re coming or going. Lucky for Jerry, I always make I take him on at least one nice long walk a day – his body needs the exercise, and his brain needs the break!

Thankfully there’s no shortage of great walking trails around the Wonderful World of Whiteway. This one is one of my favorites – Crout’s Way (if you’re at the cottages, ask one of the two-leggeds and they can point you to it). The trail is a bit overgrown at points, but it’s a fun walk and ends at a really cool waterfall – perfect for picnics. And don’t think Goldens don’t appreciate a good view!

Pets still stay free at the cottages for the next little while, so I’m really hoping for a few friends to come join me – I’d love to show them some of the local trails! Boundless energy that he has, Jerry just can’t keep up with me, so at forks in the road I always have to wait for him to catch up. I love Jerry, but I’d love it even more to have a walking partner who could keep up with me!Hiking in Newfoundland with a golden retriever
