Weather and location worked out for a great walk around Westwood Lake in the Nanaimo area. Nice sunny day but under the umbrella of trees resulted in a very comfortable hike. Below is my map and photos. -- DeNNis.
It was an easy 6Km walk for 7 of us around Westwood Lake near Nanaimo. Next stop was at the Fox & Hounds Pub in Ladysmith where we were joined by 2 others for lunch. -- Brook.
