July 24, 2012, Sooke Potholes

Instructions for July 24, 2012

Car poolers will be leaving the centre at 9:15 and should be leaving the trail head car park Lot 2 at 10:00.  We will use Parking Lot 2 and will be meeting the rest of the party there. I'm not sure if parking charges are still in effect here.  If so, we might park in the free parking after meeting up.


We could even take our swimming costumes??

Report on Sept 13, 2011 hike

Dwayne led a really good hike around the Sooke Potholes hiking trails.

There were good opportunities for photos.

Quite a contrast of active and passive water views.

It was great to learn the beach access points.

Overall - a great hike. We learned that there is free parking in the first lot, so we will use that as our meeting place in future hikes in this area.
