Wednesday Hike – Mt. Douglas – Victoria, BC

April 28, 2010:

We had a nice sunny day here in Victoria, which led to a nice sunny Wednesday night hike. Well not entirely, as part of the hike was spent on the dark side of Mt. Doug where tall trees and the hill itself makes for a [...]

Wednesday Hike – Swan Lake / Christmas Hill – Victoria, BC

April 14, 2010:

You’d think I’d get sick of blabbing about how it sure feels like Spring/Summer. Well I guess not, tonight was a great night for a hike with abundant Springish greenery on display. Starting from the Dorfmart (aka Walmart) parking lot we did a short stint [...]

Mountain Bike Ride – Hartland – Victoria, BC – First of the Year

April 13, 2010:

I was thinking it on the weekend and lo and behold today was my first mountain bike ride of the year. I really like riding off road and thankfully, like snowboarding, the basic skills don’t seem to disappear even after some time off. Basic skills [...]

Wednesday Hike – Gowlland Tod Park – Victoria, BC

April 7, 2010:

Another Wednesday is in the books and unlike the last one a hike did occur. This week’s destination (south end of Gowlland Tod Provincial Park) was a little further out of town than most of the Wednesday hikes I’ve been on over the last eight [...]

Hike – Francis King Park – Victoria, BC

April 4, 2010:

In my last blog post I mentioned a pre-turkey feast hike. This time I shall describe the day’s pre-ham hike. I really should have sucked it up and gone for a bike ride today, but alas I did not. Does it count that I thought [...]

April 2, 2010:

Easter weekend has arrived… the first long weekend of the year. Amongst various other things on the slate for this weekend I’m going to try, as usual, to get outside and do some outside-type stuff according to my wants and desires. Today, prior to some [...]

Wednesday Hike – Francis King Park – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Francis King Park – Victoria, BC

March 24, 2010:

Hot damn, says I with an attempt at a southern drawl. Why, you ask? No reason, I respond, other than the fact that the temperature for this week’s Wednesday night hike was noticeably warmer than in previous weeks. With mild trepidation, I suggested Francis King [...]

Ski/Snowboard – Mt. Washington, BC – Slushy >> Icy

March 21, 2010:

Roller derby hangover … just kidding. To cap off a somewhat busy weekend of activity, Michelle, Shauna, and I headed out of town this morning at around 6am (uggghhh) to Mt. Washington Ski resort for a late-season slide. These types of excursions, as mentioned in [...]

Wednesday Hike – Rithet’s Bog – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Rithet’s Bog – Victoria, BC

March 17, 2010:

Does anyone like springing forward with the time change? I don’t, but… admittedly it’s pretty cool to have a couple hours of daylight after work. As of today, Wednesday night hikes will be headlamp-free until the fall. Oh yeah, it’s St. Patrick’s Day. Being a [...]

Hike – St. Charles / Moss Street / Mt. Doug – Dog Sitting Weekend

Hike – St. Charles / Moss Street / Mt. Doug – Dog Sitting Weekend

March 14, 2010:

This weekend was a weekend of dog-sitting for me. The beast in question, who shall remain nameless, and I did some walking/hiking and some lounging around, nothing too exciting. This particular beast is now a senior citizen in terms of dog years, so she is [...]
