It was a great day for the 9 of us to walk the 9Km crossing Shawnigan Creek in 4 different locations. Stopped at a farm on Wilkinson Road to view a crop of Elderberries covered by netting as last year a flock of starlings devoured the crop of berries. Next week will be a visit to Cobble Hill mountain to take the easy route to the summit followed by lunch at the Cobblestone Pub. -- Brook
"No rain Monday again."
Great weather for what Brook calls the "modified Wilkinson Rd walk."
Lots of photos - here are just some of them. --- DeNNis.
Parked behind Tim Hortons (right side near top). Follow the "Yellow Brick Road" counter -clockwise from there. Hopefully it is fairly self explanatory. |
The Stone Bridge - about half way between Tim Hortons and
Shawnigan-Mill Bay Rd. Lots of moss growing on it.

The fish catching area on Shawnigan Creek near Brentwood

Plenty of exercise for one day.
