Kind of hot today by Victoria standards. I can usually tell by the amount of sweat I generate on the bike commute home from work, or in the case of today the walk from the bus stop home. There was some sweat today. On the [...]
After some long hikes (not on Wednesdays) through Thetis Lake Park earlier this year, it disappeared from my radar for a while. Too much Thetis Lake? How can that be? This after thinking on one of the more recent long hikes that there were still [...]
In another of my ongoing series of catch up posts about previous Wednesday night hikes I thought I’d tell you about an excursion to Mt. Doug not long ago. It’s my opinion that Mt. Doug Park is just big enough that even if you go [...]
Catching up on some missed blog posts for previous Wednesday night hikes. Some Wednesdays it’s nice to be able to make the short journey up the hill to the University of Victoria for a quick hike, like this particular Wednesday. I like the other, more [...]
A fairly epic hike went down today for me/us (Michelle, Steph, Vince, and I). As part of our efforts to explore more of the Sooke Hills area, we decided to hike to Empress Mountain, which is the highest point in the Capital Regional District at [...]
Instead of the usual Wednesday hike it was Tuesday this week. The route was one we’ve done quite a few times in the past at Swan Lake and Christmas Hill. It was a nice quiet night aside from the nearby urban sounds, which are kind [...]
And then there was two. Hikers that is. It doesn’t matter to me, but this week on the Wednesday night hike it was just Sheena and I. Starting from the Mt. Work parking lot on Munn Road we headed north in kind of a winding [...]
We did a sweet hike in Metchosin today that involved getting to the summit of Mt. Braden, one of the many Sooke hills. What was extra cool about this hike, I thought, was that it was brand new to me. Not sure why it has [...]
I think I brought rubberized death from above to more than one or two slugs today. Alison, Michelle, and I did kind of an out and back ride on the Cowichan Valley Trail today the poor, slimy bastards are sometimes difficult to spot as they [...]
I suppose I had a small amount of desire to watch the last game of the Stanley Cup finals featuring Vancouver and Boston, but in the end hiking won out. Michelle, Sheena, and I made the somewhat long journey (for a Wednesday evening) out to [...]
Michelle and I did our second 20km hike today. This time it was a bit faster despite a good chunk of climbing. We started out from the parking lot at Mill Hill then headed north toward Thetis Lake Park. Mill Hill isn’t huge, but anyway [...]
I was expecting it to be longer, but this Wednesday’s hike ended up being only about 5km long. The hike was at John Dean Park just south of the Victoria airport. We set out from the parking area and headed south on the Illahie Trail. [...]
