Mt Brule and Mt Manuel Quimper, Sooke hills
Description: Join us Sunday, Dec 21, 2025, from 9:45 am (start hiking at 10:00) to around 4:00 pm, for an ACCVI tradition – a solstice hike in the Sooke Hills.
Leave the seasonal madness in the city and escape to the hills to celebrate the winter solstice with some fresh air and convivial company.
Our hike, come sun or snow, will be ~4 – 5.5 hours and will include time to share seasonal treats and traditions.
Wear good boots and carry the 10 essentials. No dogs please.
Catrin and Erich – the original “Solstice Steppers” – are away this year so Dave Suttill and Mary Sanseverino have decided to carry on the tradition – but potentially with a new route up Mt Quimper.
Meeting Place: Sea to Sea Regional Park, parking lot off Harbourview Road
