We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am
Last week we drove towards Van Anda and turned off on the gravel road part way down Priest Lake Hill. This is a way to reach the Kirk Lake area and we parked about half way in to the lake which is surrounded by private property. Hiking north and north-west over some extensive logged areas we eventually came to a high point on the road not far from the north shore of the lake where a flaggged trail strikes off through an area of mixed shrubs, trees and grassland climbing especially steeply in some places. It was a nice day except that there were some patches of fog on the higher ground and the view towards the mainland was totally blocked. reaching the high point of the ridge the route undulates and becomes more open until at the lunch spot the sea comes into view to the west.
Sitting on the top of a grassy bluff with the sun trying to break through the now thin fog made the lunch spot very pleasant indeed. I felt it was about time I had a chance to feature in the photo of the day — usually I'm the one behind the camera, but not this time.

It's a pleasant social time when we rest from walking and have a bite to eat.
