Next Hike

The next hike will be on Saturday, 6th February.
We meet at Gillies Bay Ballpark at 10:00am

Last week we met in Gillies Bay in quite dense fog and decided to
head up to the high ground in search of some sunshine. With no snow
on even the highest parts of Texada we knew we would have no problem
going as high as we wanted so off we went. Up, up and up some more
and past the Reactor Station turnoff and it did seem to be a bit
brighter. but still no sunshine. We parked at the next road junction
after driving under the power lines and set off up towards Bob's
Lake. Even there it was still foggy so on up the Flicker Mountain
trail we headed, but to no avail. We ran out of time and of mountain
to climb and sat down to eat lunch on the damp rocky mountain top over
2,000ft above the sea as a light rain began. Good exercise though,
and with mild temperature and no wind not at all uncomfortable. Pity
we missed the view!
