F**kd up and didn’t book tent sites.

I’m planning a 3 night stay around the Cabot trail, West/North and East sides. I have my last night booked in broad cove, but didn’t book the other two and now there doesn’t seem to be any available (for the national park sites) what are my chances of finding more campgrounds around those areas? How many are there ? Any suggestions? Or do I plan for a motel, which I didn’t want to do, but will if I need to. (Gosh, if those will even be available 🫣) any help is appreciated!!

There has been a pretty big dip in the road on the Cabot Trail, between Little River and North Shore. Anyone who drives it South to North pretty much knows to cross into the other lane to avoid it. My questions has a motorcycle ever hit that and launched the driver?

There are plenty of tourists on bikes that wouldn't be aware of it. I know the first time I hit it in my truck it was quite a shock.

Emergency vehicle repairs while travelling (busted radiator)

Hi guys, so Im travelling with me family from ontario and had a East coast trip planned for months. Well were in your wonderful Island and I ran into an issue on my car. I busted my radiator while visiting Dingwall beach. Now its a Saturday night and I've already searched around and seems like there's no autoshop remotely close to Dingwall open on a Sunday....just our luck. We have another week planned of things to do but am now without a car. Also checked if I could possible get a rental but again, nothing close and it being sunday doesnt help. Asking for a big favor, would there be anyone open on Sunday that google doesnt know about? In dire need of help at the moment......

CBRM Councillor Gordon MacDonald apparently has no clue regarding transit services in his district

In a CBRM council meeting last Thursday, speaking in favour of deferring indefinitely the creation of a committee which would be tasked with finding solutions to ameliorate public transit Councillor Gordon MacDonald Claimed that he "has nothing to do with transportation" and that "I have one bus that runs through twice a day to one of my communities"

This is despite the fact that Sydney Mines (a community he represents) has a bus that runs through hourly and has done so for years.

Visiting a friend in Cape Breton

Hello beautiful people of this community :) I am visiting a friend in Cape Breton next week and have been thinking of what to bring her either from Toronto or Halifax. She’s in her 30s, we work together but have not met in person before. I tried to ask her but she couldn’t think of anything. Just looking for suggestions here if you live in Cape Breton, what do you usually look forward to receiving that are not readily available in your area? She lives close to Bay St Lawrence.

Also, will I be able to get good strawberries anywhere next week, also planning to make a dessert for her family.

Will appreciate any suggestions. Thank you in advance!

Broad Cove campground V Hide away

Good afternoon! As my families road trip draws nearer (so excited to see this beautiful place) I am going through my plans and thinking about switching a campground reservation.

Currently booked in to broad cove campground in an electric spot (will be driving a camper van) but noticing another campground called Hideaway campground that isn't far from it, and that apparently has an oyster bar. And also has a rec hall which I guess might be nice if it is raining, so the kids have somewhere to hang out. Reviews mention really nice views.

Anyway anyone stayed at these campgrounds and can say which is "better" I have read that the tenting area of broad cove is nicer than the RV area but it sure is nice to have an electric hookup for the van so I booked that spot.

Thank you!

Best Hiking Trails within CBRM

Looking for recommendations on the best hikes that aren't too far of a drive from Sydney (i.e. within 45 minutes or less).

I know of Gooseberry Cove and the Louisbourg Lighthouse, any other suggestions? How is Coxheath Mountain this time of year?

So Which company has the contract to work on esplanade and why are they making their flaggers stand in lighting storm with metal poles?

Sorry I know this is very Sydney specific but that was insane.
