Cape Spear to Maddox Cove
East Coast Trail的点评
点评：I did the Cape Spear to Maddox Cove section of the trail, which is almost two different hikes in a way.
The section to North Head ( distance wise about half way I think, but time wise, maybe a third of my 4 hour hike time) is easy, fairly flat, proper hiking footwear desirable but not essential. Beautiful “high” views of the cliffs and seaside. I’d seen a few reviews online of people who did this section and then returned to Cape Spear. Based on those reviews I was expecting a fairly easy 10k hike of about 3 hours ( and that’s what I told my wife, who was going to pick me up in Maddox Cove). I was a bit off base though. The last half to Maddox Cove is significantly more challenging, requiring some scrambling up and down rock ridges, watching out for very uneven footing, and interpreting some rather indistinct trail sections that made me wonder from time to time if I was going the right way. I went from wondering why I’d brought the damn hiking poles I’d carried for the first half of my hike to being very glad I had them on the second. Not to mention being glad I’d worn my hiking boots.
None of this is to say that I didn’t enjoy the second half of the hike, as it provided some very different scenic views and a sense of accomplishment for a 66 year old who counts himself as only moderately fit.
Beware that you won’t have a cell signal for a good chunk of the second half of this hike, so give yourself some wiggle room as far as timing is concerned, if you have someone expecting you at the finish,

翻译：我走了从 Cape Spear 到 Maddox Cove 的路段，这几乎是两次不同的徒步。
到 North Head 的路段（距离大概是一半，但时间大概是我 4 小时徒步时间的三分之一）比较轻松，相当平坦，合适的徒步鞋是可取的但不是必需的。悬崖和海边的“高”景致非常美丽。我在网上看到过一些人走完这一段路然后返回 Cape Spear 的评论。根据这些评论，我预计这将是一次相当轻松的 10 公里徒步，大约 3 个小时（我也是这么告诉我妻子的，她要去 Maddox Cove 接我）。但我有点想错了。到 Maddox Cove 的后半段更具挑战性，需要在岩石山脊上爬上爬下，小心不平坦的立足点，还要解读一些相当模糊的路段，这让我不时怀疑自己是否走对了路。我从想知道为什么我要带上前半段的登山杖，到后半段我很高兴我带了它们。更不用说我很高兴我穿了登山靴。
这并不是说我不享受徒步旅行的后半段，因为它提供了一些非常不同的风景，对于一个认为自己只是中等健康的 66 岁老人来说，这是一种成就感。
请注意，在这次徒步旅行的后半段，你的手机信号会很差，所以在时间安排上给自己留一些回旋余地，如果有人在终点等着你，
