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 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. [...]
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 [...]
