Scary Looking Hike – El Caminito del Rey in Spain

Scary Looking Hike – El Caminito del Rey in Spain

August 29, 2010:

No, I haven’t escaped to Spain and am not doing a hike that looks like it may result in death. I have however been perusing YouTube and came across some video of a rather dangerous looking hike on El Caminito del Rey. Actually, I would [...]

Dinner, Movie, Photos

Dinner, Movie, Photos

August 28, 2010:

Michelle and I spent the evening downtown… no not out on the town, just around downtown. We started things out with some Asian inspired food from Foo; I had Laksa i.e. Halibut (I think) with yellow curry sauce and rice, and Michelle had some sort [...]

Wednesday Hike – Elk Lake / Bear Hill – Victoria, BC

August 25, 2010:

A nice short, but hilly Wednesday hike went down tonight at the north end of Elk Lake and Bear Hill. Another great night for a hike although I feel slightly lame since according to my map we didn’t quite make it all the way to [...]

Photo Walk – Downtown Victoria

August 23, 2010:

A short photo walk around downtown Victoria. If I keep this up maybe I’ll get better at photography, at least that’s the hope.

Mountain Bike Ride – Cumberland, BC – Blue Collar Etc.

Mountain Bike Ride – Cumberland, BC – Blue Collar Etc.

August 22, 2010:

Michelle and I headed out on our own today to find the Blue Collar Trail in Cumberland. While we were successful, there were a couple wrong turns along the way, but nothing major. Blue Collar seems pretty new, but it was fun none-the-less. And with [...]

Hike – Cumberland, BC – Feet Hurt, Am Tired

Hike – Cumberland, BC – Feet Hurt, Am Tired

August 21, 2010:

After a morning of delightful mountain bike riding on Cumberland trails followed by some re-fueling at the Waverly Pub/Bar, it was time for part two of our Saturday activities, namely a hike. It was a bit iffy for a while as there was some discussion [...]

Mountain Bike Ride – Cumberland, BC – Buggered Pig, Thirsty Beaver, and Other Trails

Mountain Bike Ride – Cumberland, BC – Buggered Pig, Thirsty Beaver, and Other Trails

August 21, 2010:

Weekends are almost always better than weekdays and that’s at least partly because a couple days are better than an evening for escaping to somewhere else. This weekend’s escape destination was Cumberland, near Courtenay and Comox. On the menu was some mountain biking (on some [...]

Wednesday Hike – Royal Roads University – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Royal Roads University – Victoria, BC

August 18, 2010:

The Wednesday night hike this week was at Royal Roads University and Esquimalt Lagoon. Royal Roads is always pretty good with the trees and sea and tonight was no exception. A few minutes spent on the logs at the lagoon near the halfway point might [...]

Hike – Mystic Beach

Hike – Mystic Beach

August 15, 2010:

Did a nice little out and back hike to Mystic Beach today with Michelle, Sheena, and Gurbir. I had never been to Mystic Beach before, but have had some hankerings lately to explore more of the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail, this was the first [...]

Road Bike Ride – East Sooke – Victoria, BC – Pure Domination

Road Bike Ride – East Sooke – Victoria, BC – Pure Domination

August 14, 2010:

By the title perhaps you are thinking this will be a feel good (for me) report about how I totally dominated on my East Sooke ride today. Unfortunately, no… East Sooke, as it often has in the past, totally dominated me. At least I didn’t [...]

Wednesday Hike – Gonzales Bay / McNeill Bay – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Gonzales Bay / McNeill Bay – Victoria, BC

August 11, 2010:

I think some people have been thinking summer is over here in Victoria. Granted there have been some non-spectacular days recently, especially if you are one who likes it hot, but if the forecast for this weekend holds out the moaning and groaning should temporarily [...]

Photo / Video Walk – Birds, Beach, and Rain

Photo / Video Walk – Birds, Beach, and Rain

August 7, 2010:

I guess this isn’t really random as the category implies… I did not randomly go to Willows Beach to record some video and take photos of birds, rain, and assorted other things. I suppose this outing was somewhat spontaneous, but that certainly doesn’t qualify as [...]
