Next Hike

The next hike will be on Saturday, 19th January.

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

Last week we drove north towards Van Anda and parked at the old farmhouse on the right. Quite close by is the start of a logging road that winds it's way through the forest and eventually joins with the gas pipeline right of way.  From there its not far to a point where the High Road can be reached and then heading south brings you to the Raven Bay turnoff.  Instead of heading down to the beach for lunch our plan was to locate a new viewpoint on some higher ground and after a fair distance along logging roads we did find a lunch spot with the view in my photo of the week.  The main entrance to Jervis Inlet is in the gap between the mountains on the far shore of Malaspina Strait.
