Tree stump put to good use - Recreation Rd. (I think)

Horizontal trees beget vertical trees.

Eight walkers did 4 K on the TC Trail, a short walk but
we were looking forward to coffee and goodies at Vera's.
We did stop to rescue a caterpillar from being run over
by cars. Next monday the 27th we will walk at Hemer
Park and then go on to the Crow and Gate for our lunch.
Meet at the Legion at 9:30 am.      V.M.

Eight walkers did the Cowichan Bay dike and estuary
starting from Maple Grove Park.There are many large
cornfields in this area.Some of the cattle corn is eight
feet in height.We watched a powered paraglider that
approached us from the Duncan area,over the estuary,
and towards Mt. Tzouhalem.The pilot wears a para-
motor on his back.They fly between 25 and 70 km/h.
Most flying is done under 500ft but they can go much
higher.Paragliders are very dangerous in winds or any
turbulence.It takes a 10ft run for the inflated wing to
lift the motor and pilot.For next monday Vera has
invited us to walk the trails near her home,then return
to the lake cottage for a coffee.If you wish you are
welcome to go for a swim, so bring your bikini.
Meet at the Legion at 9:30 am.   V.M.

A nice local walk on a good trail

Eight walkers did 5K.A pleasant walk as most of the trails were in the shade.
Welcome back Claudia. Thanks to Marianne and Joyce for driving.Next monday
the 13th. we meet at the Legion at 9:30am. each of us having a suggestion for our
walk.   V.M.
p.s. Our after walk coffee was delayed by 15 minutes for some of the ladies
while another pot was brewed. It seems a group of men walkers had just left
and almost emptied the pot !
