, Cape Breton
1) On behalf of the Hike the Highlands Festival team, Happy New Year and best wishes to you and your
    family for 2010. Our team looks forward to seeing you at our 7th Annual hiking festival in September.  

 

 2) National Geographic has recently published a book Top 10 of everything. The top 10 walks and hikes
     includes the Cape Breton Highlands National Park hiking trails. Cape Breton Highlands National
     Park has always been an important part of the Hike the Highlands Festival with its hiking trails, maps
     and great staff . They have been a valuable partner since the festival began in 2004. Congratulations
     on this great accolade.

4) The 2010 dates for Hike the Highlands Festival have been selected. They are September 10-19.
    Please mark them on your calendar for next year. Work has already begun to start planning for the
    7th Annual Hike the Highlands Festival.

 

5) The Hikers Distance Award Program was a great success. The festival has developed an honour roll
    for those who have completed 100 km, 50 km and 25 km. in the 2009 Hike the Highlands Festival. At
    the closing ceremonies, a number of hikers received their lapel pins. However, in our haste to pass out
    pins, we forgot to write all your names down. Please e-mail us if you have not received your lapel pin
    yet.


6)
The festival's blog provides weekly posts on hiking articles and items of interest.  Recent articles
    include January's 2010 Backpacker Magazine, Christmas gifts for Hikers, and West Highland Way
    and Trekking Poles.

7) Join our hiking community -  Hikers can follow us on Twitter and get regular updates, join our
    facebook group, and visit our festival blog for weekly articles on hiking and our festival.
