We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am.
Last week we started the hike from the Ballpark in Gillies Bay and headed up the old logging roads towards Cap Sheaf Lake. Our destination was to be the bluff overlooking the airport and Cranby Lake so we turned off on the narrow winding trail on the left that climbs up over a wooded ridge and undulates through open forest before reaching the lunch spot. In some places the fallen Arbutus leaves were dry and very slippery so care was taken but part of the trail had been recently improved by local mountain bikers and was much more comfortable walking. After lunch we decided to take advantage of the new trails which were very well constructed and especially interesting as they follow a different route most of the way back to the Ballpark where we had started.

Turkey Vulture Bluff near Gillies Bay. Some years ago we found a baby vulture here that was still too young to fly.
