Well we have had a few weeks off but we managed to get out this past weekend and do a hike into the Sooke hills. There was only 2 of us on this hike and it was a short hike only 8k. We did a simple hike up to the campgrounds and just hung out there for a bit and then returned back. It was a pretty uneventful hike with the weather being pretty warm for the first week of February. With the weather so warm, it did make for some very green … [Read more...]
Well it was a great day on Saturday for a trip to the Sooke Potholes for a hike with the "HikeClub" we headed out to do a short hike today. We only did half our usual since it was such a nice day we also decided to go ahead and do some geocacheing. We started out in the usual manor heading up towards Leechtown today stopping at our halfway point, just hanging out, and shooting the breeze. ( Todays map of our hike) We went down to the point to … [Read more...]
What a great day for a hike it was today, started off a bit warmer that the last couple of hikes had been. There was no ice today but it did get a bit colder as we got up-towards Leechtown. We actually had along an extra body today another friend decided to join us for our hike and rant and just all around great few hours of replenishing the soul. After a minor discussion well at my instance anyway we have come to call our little hikes … [Read more...]
Well now that all the past blog updates are done for our journey to being able to carry everything we need for lightweight camping it’s time to sum up our hikes. We finished up the year with one final hike today, it was a great hike although the coldest yet it seemed. We made some excellent time up to Leechtown making the 8k hike in only 90min (must have been the cold spurred us to warm up), although it did take 2.5 hrs to get back. Not too … [Read more...]
Well we finally made it to Leechtown on this hike and have the GPS map to prove it http://runkeeper.com/pub/act/pbhUqqdNkBKSAG2D3jIO/map this was a great hike. Very cold temp was hovering around 0deg the whole hike I do believe. I have added a couple kilos to my pack bringing it up to about 7 or 8 kilos now, almost halfway to my goal of 20 kilos. As you can see from the map this was just over 15k so we will be true guys and say we did 16 since … [Read more...]
Being the last week of November and having pushed our luck to date I guess it was about time to have one very wet hike. It rained the whole time we where hiking and to top it off the GPS on my phone decided not to work too well for some reason the program not working correctly (could be because I was trying to make the iPhone do 2 things at once and often it won’t do that) that’s a tale for another time. As I said this was a wet hike and … [Read more...]
We had only managed one hike in the month of October but we are determined that we will get in a hike every two weeks from this point forward. It is now the first week of November in the Sooke hills and the weather is turning colder and getting damper as it does on the wet coast or beautiful British Columbia. We headed out this time with a different goal in mind, now that we have done some wandering along the river’s edge and up the hills … [Read more...]
