Nice stroll through the forest at Royal Roads tonight. Big trees, a babbling brook, green grass, some ocean views… it was good. Didn’t see any peacocks tonight, but we heard them. Heading up Charlie’s Trail we saw an owl hanging out in a tree with [...]
Michelle and I did another longish hike today as part of our preparation for our eventual attempt at Mt. Albert Edward in Strathcona Park. Sheena came along too. We started from Rowntree Road, off of Finlayson Arm Road and headed north eventually wrapping around Jocelyn [...]
With rain in the Mt. Wells area and a bunch of declines on the hike invite, there was some serious waffling going on in the minds of the remaining hikers. When I say ‘remaining hikers’ I really just mean Michelle and I. Arriving at the [...]
I did the longest hike I have ever done today. The total ended up being about 21km. I guess that’s sort of like a half marathon except way more hilly and rocky. East Sooke Park, as I have mentioned before is a really nice place [...]
Hockey or hike? It would be nice to say that I always choose activity over sitting around, but that’s not really how it is; tonight it was a hike and I still managed to catch a bit of the Canucks and Sharks game. We started [...]
Spring seems to be taking its time getting going this year, but since I’ve been lazy for the last few months I’ve hardly noticed. Tonight, evidence of Spring was in plain sight at Uplands Park where there was Camas everywhere and all sorts of other [...]
I headed over to Whistler and Squamish for the day, with the main objective being to do some used bike shopping. I suppose this might seem like a long way to go from Victoria, but being over there is pretty cool and I took advantage [...]
Aspen Extreme! Tonight’s hike at Mt. Doug involved a steeper climb to the top than our usual; nothing wrong with a bit more challenge than usual. The sky was pretty clear tonight so the views of the city and the mountains were pretty damn good. [...]
Today I joined the masses with a few of the Wednesday night hikers for the 2011 Times Colonist 10K. I have only ever done one running race sometime back in the nineties. Actually, it wasn’t even a running race, it was the run leg of [...]
Longish hike numero deux for Michelle and I today. Last week we did about 17km at Thetis Lake; this week we started at the north end of Mt. Work near Durrance Lake and headed south. The hike itself was good… big climb up to about [...]
Tonight was sort of a crap sandwich for weather. While we were actually hiking the weather was not far off of perfect, but I seem to recall it being crappy a couple hours before the hike, and it was definitely crappy afterward. By crappy I’m [...]
There has been some discussion in the household about doing some longer one-day hikes this year… Albert Edward and Juan de Fuca most notably. With that in mind, Michelle and I have decided that we will need to do some preparation since both of the [...]
