- 🚴♂️🚴♀️ Day 35 of our Island Walk Canadian Adventure was a record-breaking one for The Chonky Trundlers! We crushed 56.5 km on our second day of e-biking, exploring PEI’s most Easterly point. From the stunningly scenic Confederation Trail, to some quiet, and also a few not-so-quiet roads, we made it to the iconic East Point Lighthouse, where Hedwig braved some serious rotor-bending winds to capture perhaps his most breathtaking shots yet. 🌬️📸
The day ended in the fabulous seaside town of Souris, where we’re treating ourselves to two well earned rest days, which will allow us to do some sightseeing. #IslandWalk #ChonkyTrundlers #PEIAdventures #EbikeLife #VanLife #theislandwalk #coupleswhohike #getoutside #princeedwardisland #travel #canadianadventures
I thought of doing the two-way on the Confederation Trail too - the Snake Road accomplished the same objective. :-)
Another superb day! E-bikes are such a blast. Am I the only one feeling a bit sad that your PEI vlogs are coming to an end? I will be stopping in Souris next summer to take the ferry to Îles-de-la-Madeleine (Magdalen Islands). Can’t wait to see what you did on your days off.
Awww Lyne! That’s so absolutely heartwarming to hear you say that ❤️🙏🏼❤️. To be honest it feels a bit like that for us too. Whilst we’re still editing and uploading every, we still feel IN it, and that it’s still ongoing. We were so very sad to be leaving PEI, but it will feel like we’re leaving all over again when the videos are done too ☹️❤️. But we’ve made so many wonderful friends, and all of you guys found us, so it’s not really goodbye ❤️
I knew a question/answer on Jeopardy this week because of your adventure! It was about the Confederation Trail and PEI!
LOL really? 😂 That’s so funny. What was it?
In case I didn't mention it, Hedwig got the best footage of our alternate beach walk here. I especially like the coverage of the stream that empties East Lake to the ocean. You can jump across this stream where it comes out onto the beach, or take your socks off and get your feet wet. :-)
It would be kind of cool to fly him along the entire route and then speed it up into a few minutes. There’s great line of site there. However, the wind was pretty fierce. He wasn’t happy flying that day but he’s a bit of a troops 😉😂
Great shots of East Point! The bench just south of the lighthouse is at Grace Cameron's house - she's another Camino Pilgrim!
That was yet another utterly fabulous day Bryson. One of our most favorites
Fortunately, that Northside Road is rather quiet. That little stream from the East Lake goes out to the beach - just watching Hedwig showing this. You have to cross this stream if you're taking the alternate beach walk to East Point - wish I had Hedwig when I plotted the route!
LOL yes, Hedwig would have been a v handy team member when you were doing all of that. He’s actually a very good scout at times, and for seeing things you wouldn’t ordinarily get to see of course. He’s been hibernating since we left, sleeping in Vandalf’s cavernous storage space. He’s not too fond of coming out right now. It’s v chilly and wet in Germany right now 😂
What a great day out, for you guys! I have watched all your videos...and have come to realisation, I would love to do the Confederation trail, by e bikes!!! We have regular bikes and it can be a struggle to do 12 miles, if it windy, or hilly. I really appreciated how all the drivers slow down and pull over for you...doubtful if they would do that where we live (Ontario). PEI really is a lovely place...so many nice people have come out to help you.
The whole journey was magical ❤️. We’ll be doing the wrap up video soon and we’ll chat about that, but definitely the kindness of the people was a major highlight for us. And most definitely… e-bikes FTW!! We had the “pedal assist” versions and they were fabulous. A totally different it equally wonderful experience. Definitely give it a go 🚴💨💨
So glad the gift shop was open. It was closed when we did the walk. Great to see places are staying open late into October.
Us too Bryson. We were relying on that to get a bit of top up charge for the bikes 😅😂. It was a lovely place and the staff were of course so friendly and helpful. We came away with quite a few Christmas Tree decorations 😂
Your detour onto the Munn Road saved you 4 km on Rte 16. That's not much, but if you felt safer that way, it was worth it.
Yeah we think without the potato trucks flying backwards and forwards it probably would have been fine. But all in all with the potential for rain, it was a good call on the day 👍🏼
Ha! The flying Finn's (or the flying Irish?!)
😂😂 🚴🚴🏼♀️💨💨
Check your email - I sent you a message about a video that you need to make. :-)
Got it Bryson 👍🏼 Yeah it’s one we’d actually been mulling over. It’s on the list 👍🏼
