Location

Looks like it's in some bushes right off Benvenuto Avenue, the road to Butchart Gardens. Might turn into an Ambassador Geohash.

Participants

  • Wenslayer: This is less than 12km from my home; therefore, I must go.
  • Elbie is now gonna try and shift around her Saturday evening plans

Plans

Wenslayer

Wenslayer: I plan to be there at 4pm, either alone, with the whole family, or with some subset of my kids, depending on what's going on tomorrow.

Will retreat to nearby Gore Park for games.

Elbie

Earliest I could leave campus would be around 11:00. The hashpoint looks about an hour away from Swartz Bay. Approximate plan:

  • 11:00 - depart UBC
  • 12:00 - depart airport station (I call one of the bike racks on the 620 if any other Vancouverites are coming :P )
  • 13:00 - depart Tsawwassen [1]
  • 15:00ish - arrive in Swartz Bay, follow the Lochside Trail for about 15 km then turn west on Keating Cross Rd and follow it
  • 16:00 - arrive at hashpoint

I'd like to be on the 18:00 ferry back to Tsawwassen, just so I get home at a reasonable hour.

If I miss the ferry (probably due to the 620 being full), expect all of those times shifted ahead an hour.

Expedition

Just in planning mode for now.

Tracklog

I intend to do this, perhaps to get a Tron achievement.

Photos

Stay tuned.
