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 [...]
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 [...]
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’ve been thinking about trying to take some photos of insects for a while now, but haven’t managed to get any decent ones so far this year. Part of my problem might be the fact that bugs don’t stay still for long, but I think [...]
