Not surprisingly there were fewer bodies out on the Wednesday night hike this week. The cause… Olympics. I suppose I could have been busy attending the Vancouver Olympics this week and last, but alas I made the choice to observe from afar. For me, as always, it has been the action that I appreciate the most, as opposed to some of the other Olympic thingies.

Onto the hike. We started out in Estevan Village and took the least direct route we could think of over to the south end of Willows Beach. It being a nice, somewhat moonlit evening at low-tide, we took the sandy route to Cattle Point and then ventured into Uplands Park. Rabbits were plentiful, but other than that, not much to report from our sad little loop of the park. Burning 300 calories or so on the hike was apparently sufficient in our minds to partake in a slightly over the top fish and chip feast when we returned to our starting point in Estevan Village. It was good, but not worth repeating on a weekly basis.
