DESCRIPTION: For Couples or Single VRMNC Members!
A once-per-month opportunity to explore and enjoy our marvellous west-coast scenery, followed by lunch (optional). Hikes tend to be milder, with the emphasis on socializing, rather than rock-scrambling. Partners are welcome (encouraged) but not required for either hiking, lunch, or both.
WHERE: Hikes generally commence from various trailheads in the Greater-Victoria and/or surrounding areas. (Once in awhile we venture a bit further afield.) Lunch follows at a restaurant or pub somewhere in the vicinity.
WHEN: We meet once per month, normally 2nd Sunday of the month. Typically we meet at 9:45 at the trailhead for a 10:00 start. Lunch is typically at 12:30 or so.
WHO: Open to all VRMNC Members and partners. Hike Leaders volunteer from a yearly schedule (a.k.a. The Roster) maintained by the Coordinator.
BRING: Sturdy hiking shoes, suitable garb for the weather, water, and a snack, if desired. Hiking poles are optional. $$ to cover your lunch.
MORE INFO: An interest-list is maintained by the Coordinator. Events are pre-arranged via email. Contact Coordinator Greg Bosecker at gregorybosecker@gmail.com to get onto the mailing list.
