Remembrance Day in Wakefield Hike

 

Distance:  ~5 kms     Event duration:  5 hrs     Pace:  Moderate     Ascent:  few hills, not strenuous

A few years ago, I went to the Remembrance Day ceremony in Wakefield. It was very touching as it a rather small ceremony focusing on families from the area. The setting is lovely, on the water at the cenotaph. Last time they had bagpipes and a fiddler. I am suggesting that we attend the ceremony, then do a short'ish walk in the hills around Wakefield and enjoy a late lunch, for those who wish, in one of the nice restaurants in Wakefield.

Meet at Bate Island at 9:40 a.m. to arrange carpooling or at the Wakefield Community Centre at 10:20 (30, chemin de la Vallée de Wakefield).
