Next Hike

The next hike will be on Saturday, 11th July.
We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am.

Last week we drove a long way sout, right down past Angel Lake and the Twin Peaks Trail and parked at the Fiveway Junction.  Taking the old Cook Bay cut-off road we walked down hill and took the second logging road on the left, south side, of the road.  This climbs fairly steeply uphill in nice forest shade for some distance and then drops a little before levelling off.  There used to be a good viewpoint on the right on this section of the road, but the trees are growing so rapidly here that the view is spoilt now.  After a short seach we found a new spot with an even better view with shade trees as a bonus.  The smoke that has bothered the entire coast for the last few days had not arrived last Saturday and we had clear views to the south west of the Sabine Channel, Lasqueti Island and the mountains on Vacouver Island.
