Return to walking

After my pilgrimage in Japan, I took a bit of an hiatus from walking.

Today with the aid of my friend R. I started walking again.

I hope to continue this trend of weekly walks throughout the year. I will be using different walking/hiking books I have to plan out my walks.

Today’s walk is #5 “Fairfield/Oak Bay” from Walk Victoria by John Crouch. My one criticism of this book is that the hikes are measured in the time it took John Crouch to walk the route and not in actual kilometres. Mr. Crouch wrote that it is a 3 hour walk… it took us 4.5 hours… of course we did stop to have tea and snacks at the coffee shop at Oak Bay Marina… but still.

Trafalgar Park Lookout and McNeil Bay… I think the bear is wondering why it is blue?

Some of the art work that was along the way.
