Seven of us braved the rainy weather for about a 5 Km walk down through Brentwood College and back. Actually we started by trying Tim Hortons, which was full. So we whipped over to McDonalds, had a coffee to wait out the rain, then did our walk and finished with a second coffee break at Tim Hortons. Good planning as it turned out nicely.

| GPS didn't cut in right away. Started at McDonalds (bottom left). Across the highway, down Deloume and Solarium Rd in a counter-clockwise loop, all the way down to where the salmon are caught and sent up Shawnigan creek, then back to Tim Hortons for coffee. |
