PLEASE NOTE THAT WE HAVE CHANGED THE DATE TO SATURDAY, OCT 23RD – As a big storm is moving in on Sunday.  So on Saturday….rain, shine or wind (there will be some of all of that !), we will meet at Charters River parking area, a right turn off Sooke Road (2895B Sooke River Rd) at 9 AM.  Our wanderings will take us up the Charters River, over to the Ramparts, Sooke Mountain and to Shields Lake and back.  If you are into cold water therapy/dipping, a swim could break out at Shields Lake!  There may be sections of very light, easy bushwacking.  As this is a full day hike, best not to plan for any late afternoon engagements or dinner plans!  

Please bring raingear, gaiters, appropriate warm layers, water, lunch/snacks, sturdy hiking boots, and any other necessary gear (10 essentials), along with a spirit of fun!

No dogs please, but all ACCVI members welcome.  Suitable for new members.

Co-Led by Roger and Peggy Taylor.  To sign up please email
