Trivia

The Board

Them days you sent a youngster up the road to say there was a game on. Now you send the code, and if a chair's still empty when you deal, one of the regulars takes it.

Down the road

Well, Sunday after Mass we'd walk it. Start at the gate and go down, and every house along here I'll tell you who's in it.

Stiles Cove Path (East Coast Trail)

15.1 km of cliff-top path between Pouch Cove and Flatrock on the northeast shore — the ECT's long signature walk out of St. John's.

Stiles Cove Path is an East Coast Trail path of 15.1 km running from Pouch Cove to Flatrock on the northeast Avalon shore (East Coast Trail Association), one of the trail's listed signature paths. The surrounding network runs 336 km in 25 paths from Topsail Beach to Cappahayden, with headquarters and maps at 50 Pippy Place, St. John's.

How to get there

Trailheads at Pouch Cove and Flatrock on the northeast shore; the association lists the route as Pouch Cove to Flatrock, 15.1 km — two cars or an out-and-back.

Mind yourself

Coastal path with exposed cliffs: check the association's advisories before setting out and dress for the wind off the Atlantic.

Fact

Where that comes from

On the go

Them days the garden party was the whole summer. Here's what's on the go now, and when.

The kitchen

Well, Sunday the pot was on before Mass and the smell of it met you at the gate. Here's what was in it, and how it's done.

The hall

Them days the hall had a dance Saturday and the kitchen had music the rest of the week. It's still playing. Come in and listen.

The yarns

He said, you know the one about the light on the water. I said, I do. That's a story, mind, and I'll tell you which parts.

Not the house

No, I said, that's not the house. It was down just below there. Go back up the road.
