Wednesday Hike – Colquitz River / Cuthbert Holmes Park – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Colquitz River / Cuthbert Holmes Park – Victoria, BC

March 3, 2010:

Another Wednesday, another hike. I guess that makes it sound more chore-like than I intended. It’s no chore, it’s fun, it’s dark, it’s sometimes muddy, it’s all good. Since my first hike along the Colquitz River a couple months ago, I’ve been thinking that I [...]

Wednesday Hike – Willows Beach / Cattle Point / Uplands Park – Fish Feast

Wednesday Hike – Willows Beach / Cattle Point / Uplands Park – Fish Feast

February 24, 2010:

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 [...]

Wednesday Hike – Thetis Lake – Victoria, BC

February 17, 2010:

I’ve been lost… lost in Olympic TV watching purgatory. I can hardly believe I found the strength to get out for the Wednesday night hike. Tonight the destination was Thetis Lake. I guess I better set the record straight since my lack of blog activity [...]

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

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

February 10, 2010:

Where will we wander Wednesday? Wow, that’s a whole sentence with words starting with the letter W. If this were Sesame Street there would be a song to go along with this wonder of a sentence. Every Monday or Tuesday, this w-loaded question bounces around [...]

Hike – Tod Inlet / Gowlland Tod – Victoria, BC – New To Me

Hike – Tod Inlet / Gowlland Tod – Victoria, BC – New To Me

February 6, 2010:

Today Michelle and I checked out a new-to-us, albeit short, hike on the north side of the Tod Inlet on the Saanich Peninsula. The route runs very close to the property of the famed Butchart Gardens (a place I have never been, but have heard [...]

Wednesday Hike – Royal Roads University – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Royal Roads University – Victoria, BC

February 3, 2010:

Hump day to some, hike day to others. Wednesday night hikes have become a part of my weekly schedule and I’ll be honest, I look forward to them every week. It’s an opportunity to go exploring, take a mental break from the work week, and [...]

Wednesday Hike – Elk / Beaver Lake – Victoria, BC – Mud Bog’in

Wednesday Hike – Elk / Beaver Lake – Victoria, BC – Mud Bog’in

January 27, 2010:

I think I have thought on occasion over the past month or two, that I was surprised at the lack of mud on some of the trails I have been hiking and running on around Victoria. Mud always seems to be lurking somewhere on Vancouver [...]

Wednesday Hike – Mt. Douglas – Victoria, BC – The Trees Seem Bigger In The Dark

Wednesday Hike – Mt. Douglas – Victoria, BC – The Trees Seem Bigger In The Dark

January 20, 2010:

Wednesday night hiking is good. This week I did a loop around the base of Mt. Doug(las) with my work friends and some non-work friends. Hiking at night lacks the kind of sensory input associated with hiking in the daylight, but regardless, it is still [...]

Wednesday Hike – Mt. Tolmie / UVic / Mystic Vale – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Mt. Tolmie / UVic / Mystic Vale – Victoria, BC

January 13, 2010:

What did you do tonight? Ate some food, watched some TV, read a book, played scrabble? I suppose the list of options is just about endless. As has been the case for many previous Wednesday nights, I went out for a hike, this time at [...]

Wednesday Hike – Viaduct Flats / Layritz Park / Camosun – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Viaduct Flats / Layritz Park / Camosun – Victoria, BC

January 6, 2010:

Our Wednesday night hike this week started near the intersection of West Saanich Road and Interurban Road. We headed south through Viaduct Flats (home of Glendale Gardens and a bird sanctuary of sorts), then we made our way through forest and fields while skirting Vancouver [...]
