Wow, it’s practically Fall. Wow, the daylight is getting shorter. Wow, how many more times might I use the word ‘wow’? This week’s Wednesday outing was a nice sort of meandering around Goldstream Park near Victoria. For an after work hike, Goldstream is a little [...]
Pretty sure I saw some mosquitoes hatching tonight at Swan Lake. They may have also instantly become full grown mosquitoes, or maybe that’s how the mosquito life cycle works… more research I could do if I felt more inclined to do so. Aside from the [...]
You never know for sure what you’ll see on a hike. Tonight’s hike was at Macaulay Point, a place I have been to only once before. The highlight of the hike was definitely seeing an orca very close to shore. It didn’t do any TV [...]
Somewhat hot, somewhat humid, but all in all an excellent night for some sort of activity. Since it’s Wednesday, it’s hike night and the destination was once again the Partridge Hills out near Durrance Lake. As with previous outings we started from the Durrance Lake [...]
Not that long ago we did a Wednesday hike at Royal Roads University, on the exact same route we did tonight. When it’s good, why not repeat it? It’s late summer in Victoria, so things are looking pretty brown around town, but not in the [...]
Michelle and I closed out the weekend with another great day in Cumberland. We started off the day with a fun, longish hike in the hills between Cumberland and Comox Lake. Lots of uphill and downhill on a variety of surfaces, with the occasional nice [...]
Left Victoria at about 7:30pm yesterday to head up to Cumberland for a weekend of mountain bike riding and other stuff. Thankful to have not had to do any evasive maneuvers to avoid deer on the highway. Somewhat sad to report that there was evidence [...]
Very nice Wednesday hike in Oak Bay tonight with a surprising variety of wildlife (crows, seal, seagulls, engaged couple, etc.). We started in Estevan Village and headed toward Willows, then it was off to Cattle Point, and finally Uplands Park. There was some great sailboat [...]
Apparently a fancy new bike is not enough to make up for a neglected bike engine, and by that I mean me. To put it bluntly the trails at Hartland have successfully destroyed me on my last three rides out there. Prior to that (this [...]
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 [...]
