walking

 

Saturday morning I cycled 24km roundtrip from home to Panama Flats and back.

---

Saturdays are always busy on the trails as the workers get out with the family and enjoy the nice weather.

---

Panama Flats has a labyrinth of trails covering its large area but few take time to explore them.

---

Other than locals, most are just passing through on there way to somewhere else. Pity.

---

The main trail is the Inland Interurban Connector section between Colquitz River Park and Copley West Park.

---

Several linear parks make up the route between Tillicum Mall and the Red Barn Market on West Saanich Road.

---

I put my DJImini 2 drone up over Panama Flats while there.

This morning I cycled 8km roundtrip along the Colquitz River Trail

---

Got a GPS track from Hyacinth Park northbound to the new Wilkinson Road Bridge and teh new trails in that northern area.

---

My first ride of the season. Everything went well after I was able to assemble all my cycling gear.

---

My GoPro camera recorded most of it as did the ViewRanger App in my phone.

Sunday we walked 3500m (2miles) from Royal Oak Shopping Centre to Quick's Bottom trailhead along the new Colquitz River Greenway Trail.

---

Bright and sunny day but the sharp wind could take your head off with the temperature at 7°C (45°F.). Yes, our cold spring continues but it pretty much shuts-up the climate-kooks. Not much global warming happening in our hood!

---

Saanich Parks is to be commended for the work on this trail system.

Not a long walk but enjoyable and a memory refresher for us who haven't walked here in a long time (2008)
