21 Days in Newfoundland - Day 12: Twillingate, Durrell, French Beach to Spiller's Cove Trail, Lower Little Harbour Trail, Rock Arch, and Jones Cove

---

While in Twillingate I visited nearby Durrell with some fishing shanties, beaches and rock formations. Today was also the day I hiked the seven km French Beach/Spiller's Cove Trail; a moderate/difficult rating. A lovely trail, coastal in nature with views galore. You are typically hiking high above the ocean but usually in sight. A challenging trail with numerous and strenuous up and downhill areas. In a few select areas you are indeed scrambling over the rocks making it that much more challenging. Rugged in places, just like a good hiking trail should be. Finally, after 2 and a half hours, I completed the trail. Next up, the Lower Little Harbour Trail. Shorter ( 5 km), and less ambitious, it has two focal points - a 30 foot natural arch, and a shorter trail to Jones Cove. I spent considerable time at the cove rock hounding and just relaxing after two gruelling hikes. My day finished 5ish, just in time for a nap. Tomorrow I am off to Gros Morne
