Next Hike

The next hike will be on Saturday, 11th January, 2014

We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am

Last week it was quite a dry, mild and pleasant day with no snow on the high ground that we could see.  We drove to the end of the blacktop and then south on the High Road to just north of the last house on the right.  We hiked north and off down the first part of the Pocahontas Bay Rd to the start of the trail up to the site of the Fire Lookout hut that was demolished years ago. Turning off to the right at the top of the first hill on to the partially overgrown grassy logging road that takes us south and down onto a rocky bluff with nice views out past the Lafarge quarry towards Hornby Island.  It was very comfortable sitting in such a windless spot for lunch, and it was a pity we had to head back to the vehicles a little sooner than we might have usually done.

My picture this week is an iPhone photo of some of the hikers on the quiet bluff above the High Road.
