Participants

Plans

I planned to go after work, it's a nice park for a evening walk.

Expedition

Monday is always grocery day. So after putting together the menu of the week and writing the list down, we headed downtown for our walk. We parked in a parking that I knew and we started.

Entrance

The Plains of Abraham is a historic area within the Battlefields Park where the battle of the same name took place. Now it's the host of events and visitors and tourists come to relax or enjoy the views. The park is active when we arrive, people are running, biking, picnicking, etc.

We walk along a path for about 2km before getting to the hashpoint. Along the way, we observed trees and plants; many were identified with informational panels. So we tried to guess the type and species of some. We also saw a man digging a hole with his metal detector next to him... We didn't stay to see if he dug up something interesting but it was unusual.

FEQ

The haspoint was next to a cannon at a clearing offering a view of the Saint-Lawrence River. Specifically, the haspoint was down an incline of the cannon; from the coordinates, you couldn't see the river. I got my pictures and we took in the view. The weather was nice. We enjoyed it knowing that a heatwave was announced for the next few days.

On the way back we went around the park to the side share with the hotels and houses. We passed the freshly installed scene of the Festival d'été de Québec (FEQ), the third biggest outdoor musical event in Canada which will take place in a few weeks from July 4 to 14. We stopped to look at a garden and returned to the car to go grocery shopping.
