Being Outdoors, January 2023

7 Jan 20237 Jan 2023 ~ AndyG ~ 2 Comments

Welcome to a new year! 2022 seemed to pass so quickly... Hope you all had a peaceful and relaxing holiday season and that 2023 brings many great adventures! If we were being outdoors today I'd be looking longingly at the North Shore mountains as it's been a few weeks since we were last up there … Continue reading Being Outdoors, January 2023

Hollyburn Mountain, 11 Dec 2022

13 Dec 202213 Dec 2022 ~ AndyG ~ 1 Comment

Opinion: It's only been a fortnight since we were last up here but a lot can happen in that time in winter. Fresh snow always transforms even a familiar hike into a fun adventure. Early starts are mandatory for optimum peace and the best snow, although we got lucky today with our more leisurely timing … Continue reading Hollyburn Mountain, 11 Dec 2022

Being Outdoors, December 2022

Well we've made it to the final month of the year and the shortest days are upon us again. Snow is beginning to take hold in the mountains and we're looking forward to snowshoe season. And yes, that means we still haven't used those shiny new snowshoes that we bought last month, which means we … Continue reading Being Outdoors, December 2022

Opinion: Another sunny morning, another early dash up Hollyburn to feel alive. We didn't even mind the extra walk from the backcountry parking lot, although it turned out to be unnecessary. Fact: Let's start by clarifying the parking situation. Parking is free along the Cypress Bowl Road, where there is just enough space to pull … Continue reading Hollyburn Mountain, 7 Feb 2021

Opinion: What, Hollyburn again? What can I say? It's a nice little hike, not too long and not too tough, and easy to keep your distance from potential disease carriers. Parking is terrible unless you go early or late: there have been long line-ups to get up to the ski resort on recent fine days. … Continue reading Hollyburn Mountain, 24 Dec 2020

Hollyburn Mountain, 5 Dec 2020

25 Dec 2020 ~ AndyG ~ 2 Comments

Opinion A nice easy peak for a quick spot of winter exercise, with plenty of space for people to spread out, which was invaluable as it was extremely busy! Just don't expect solitude and know that the whisky jacks are a serious nuisance. Get there before 10 am to be sure of getting a parking … Continue reading Hollyburn Mountain, 5 Dec 2020

Mount Strachan, 18 Sep 2010

A rare solo hike taking in the summits of Mount Strachan and Hollyburn Peak. I was determined to find some autumn colours and despite a crappy weather forecast, I insisted on dragging myself out and up to the Cypress parking lot. The rain had stopped maybe an hour before, but the clouds still covered the … Continue reading Mount Strachan, 18 Sep 2010

A selection of quieter, atmospheric images taken on my bike rides into work during January. Nothing spectacular but they all speak to me in some way.
A starry Saturday night on Mount Seymour. An afternoon hike saw us catching a hazy sunset from the summit and then being entranced by the stars and planets on show as we made our way back down. We paused awhile at Brockton Point to trace the constellations and take some photos, the best of which is shown here. Or at least part of it: swipe for a different part of the scene and the full photo.
It's all a matter of perspective...
