[Auld Reekie Update]

Is there anywhere else to have a hot lunch around? Heading from Timmins to New Liskeard.

[Sir Sams resort.]

Stayed at Sir Sams Inn 4 years ago while doing the RAP tour. Really enjoyed the stay. The rooms were good and the meal was fantastic! We were booked in for the "snowmobilers special" so to our surprise our dinner was covered.

Just an update for anyone who is looking for food in Hornepayne there is a new location to eat.  The canteen at the arena is open as Mama Bs Bear Den for the winter 10-8 daily. Menu is a bit limited but Brenda is an awesome cook (cooked at Cindys and I believe 4 Stevens back in the day) who is running the canteen this year.  it is a little bit from the trails but streets in town are always snow packed.  

 

 

I second this! Had a great meal there a week and a half ago while heading from Hearst to Dubreuilville! Big portions as well.

Okay booked in at the Moose Horn Lodge. Looks like a fantastic place, thanks for the recommendation!

Just going to have to hit the trails nice and early to get into Cochrane at a reasonable time that night.

Thanks everyone for the input! Would love to leave right from New Liskeard but we don't have enough time to complete that.

I will look into Moonbeam Clubhouse or Della Pieta for lunch on day 1 as well as the Moose horn lodge in chapleau.

Glad to hear that others are doing this similar loop! Very excited about it
