We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am.
Last week we decided to return to Ladybird Bluffs, which we visited fot the very first time just a couple of weeks earlier. The weather that day was not great, very different to the lovely dry warm sunny weather we have been having for many days now. We took a different route to the start of the hike this time, driving from the High Road right down to Pocahontas Bay and then south along the old Pocahontas Main logging road. This gave us a little more time to explore the northern part of the Ladybug Bluffs ridge and we found a nice route up to the highest point where we had lunch. My photo shows the view looking south-east along the spine of Texada with Black Mountain the peak on the left. The road running down the side of the clearcut goes down past the White Pine Research area and over Russ Creek on the high old style loggers bridge. The low green shrub hugging the rocks in the foreground is one of several very healthy Manzanita [spanish for "little apple] bushes on the crest of the ridge.
