Vignette: A winter commute

11 Mar 20238 Mar 2023 ~ AndyG ~ 2 Comments

I've been cycling in to the office for one or two days a week more or less continuously since October 2021, with just a couple of breaks. That means, whatever the weather, I set out on the local roads and head up the hill to UBC. Ah yes, the hill... Or perhaps, more ominously, The … Continue reading Vignette: A winter commute

Being Outdoors, February 2023

3 Feb 20233 Feb 2023 ~ AndyG ~ Leave a comment

Well that's the first month of the new year over. The days are getting noticeably longer again which is a great mood-lifter. I read something recently where the writer mentioned that they found January and February to be hopeful months because of those lengthening days, and I'm inclined to agree. The first signs of spring … Continue reading Being Outdoors, February 2023

Traboulay PoCo Trail, 10 Apr 2022

16 Apr 202213 Apr 2022 ~ AndyG ~ 2 Comments

Opinion: A fine, well-marked cycle route that takes in all the sights of Port Coquitlam with some great riverside views of Golden Ears. While it rubs shoulders with traffic and industry in a couple of places, much of the route is close to or immersed in nature. I wouldn't walk much of this route as … Continue reading Traboulay PoCo Trail, 10 Apr 2022

Vignette: Boundary Bay, 15 May 2021

A touch of post-vaccine fatigue had us contemplating a flat cycle ride rather than a hike. We parked at the Mud Bay parking lot, which took some finding, where we had to wait for what felt like the world's longest train to pass before we could turn onto the access road. Views on the way … Continue reading Vignette: Boundary Bay, 15 May 2021

Slow Food Cycle, 18 Aug 2013

18 Aug 201311 Nov 2013 ~ AndyG ~ Leave a comment

And now for something a little different - one of the very occasional cycle trip reports. Four years ago we planned to take part in the annual Slow Food Cycle Sunday festival in Pemberton. Nearby forest fires led to the event being cancelled as the valley was under an evacuation watch, and having to evacuate … Continue reading Slow Food Cycle, 18 Aug 2013

Looking forward to the summer hiking season and following the lifecycle of my favourite flowers, such as Western anemone, from pushing up through the snow to its fluffy finale.
Mountain reflections - a handful of nice views from 2022 seen in the South Chilcotins and the Canadian Rockies.
Those brief moments of golden sunshine make the hike all the more worthwhile.
Last weekend was a long weekend (at least for some of us) and of course the weather lived up to its reputation, giving us a sunny day on Tuesday. But there was a short window of fine weather on Saturday afternoon and we made a beeline for Hollyburn Mountain to catch the views.
A selection of recent beach scenes that make me glad to live by the sea, all taken within the past week.
Happy Mountain Monday! A selection of mountain photos from our trip to Garibaldi Lake a few weeks ago.
