Thanks Jim=2C Rick=2C and Richard=2E

I did google earth and took a look=2E There=27s a feature where you use =
your mouse to trace a route and it gives you the mileage=2E So I figured=
 out a route and away I went!

I ended up parking at the Port Williams end and running 9 km towards Gra=
nd Pre=2C then=A0 back=2E=A0 I am planning to run the Valley Half and wa=
s looking for a run that didn=27t involve an =22out and back=22=2E But t=
here are so many beautiful things to take in while on the Dykes=2C I kne=
w it wouldn=27t be boring=2E =


I saw a crab leg and one of the caterpillars I mentioned a few weeks ago=
=2E Lots of gulls and what may have been a peregrine=3F It was reddish u=
nder the wings=2E =


I was in my happy place watching the clouds=2C the water=2C the earth=2C=
 the trees=2C corn=2C tractors=2C martial arts practitioners=2E

Thanks for your suggestions=2E =

=3E Jim and Rick are both right=2C and if you look at Google Maps and ty=
pe in Grand Pre=2C you can see why=2E Zoom in till you see the National =
Historic Park=2C and just north of that is Miner Lane=2C which if you fo=
llow it west=2C leads to Old Dyke Road=2C (both dirt roads)=2C which in =
turn leads to the top of the dyke by a hut=2C and then past the Wolfvill=
e sewage plant to Wolfville Harbor=2E You can go along the railroad trac=
ks there past the little park with a gazebo=2C then turn right back onto=
 the dyke - which you can then follow to Port Williams=2E

=3E From an approx=2E measurement on the map=2C and from my own experien=
