Next Hike - we meet at the Community Hall in Gillies Bay

The next hike will be on Saturday, 10th July.
To avoid a conflict with Sandcastle activities we will meet at the Community Hall parking lot in Gillies Bay at the usual time, 10:00am

Last Saturday we hiked to the Mouat Bluffs between Gillies Bay and Davie Bay to view the wild cactus. I was not sure just when they would be in full flower this year as the weather has been so unusual. As it turned out there were not all that many clumps with flowers this time and most of the flowers were over anyway. However, there were just a few that provided nice photos for the photographers among us as a few late blooms with clear yellow petals were still open. The flowers that are pink and twisted are the ones that finished flowering probably a few days earlier.
