Next hike will again be from Van Anda.

The next hike will be on Saturday, 2nd December.

We meet at the Canadian Legion in Van Anda at 10:00am.

I understand that the hike last week was rather longer than usual and that everyone had a very good time.

My photo this week is one I took quite few years ago in June 2010 when we hiked down to the beach at Northeast Bay.  This waterfall is in the forest   very close to the beach and the large pool at the base of the falls makes a good swimming place if cool freshwater is what you seek. By the way the forest adjacent to the shoreline in this area is part of a U.R.E.P or an area reserved for the Use, Recreation, and Enjoyment of the Public.  There are just a small number if these reserves on Texada Island, and it's really import that we the public do all we can to ensure their existence is known about and protected.
