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.

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.

Note for any bicyclists coming from the ferry terminal:

I'd like to suggest this path from the Schwartz Bay ferry terminal to avoid steep hills:
  • Get on the Lochside Trail
  • Take a right at McTavish Road, and cross the Pat Bay Hwy
  • Take a left at East Saanich Road
  • As you get close to Saanichton, take a right onto Wallace Drive.
  • Cross West Saanich Road, going through Brentwood Bay, and then take a left at Benvenuto Drive.
These roads are quiet and you'll get a chance to see some of the lovely Saanich peninsula (one of my favorite places to ride through).
BTW, here's a Google Map Directions link. Just ignore the portion from the ferry to 5th St and Ocean Ave in Sidney, since the Lochside trail isn't on the map.

Expedition

Just in planning mode for now.

Tracklog

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

Photos

Stay tuned.
