General Information
The Outdoor Club schedules hikes every week and occasional bike rides and camping trips throughout the year. Guests are welcome on three hikes before joining the club, but must call the leader prior to the hike.

We meet at Saanich Municipal Hall (SMH) south parking lot at 770 Vernon Avenue, unless otherwise stated in the hike schedule. Please arrive at the meeting place 5 - 10 minutes before the listed leaving time.

28 January - Saturday C2b Mt. Finlayson to Stonecrest. Car shuttle. 8:30 SMH. Dtk. Mick 250-658-2702 Note from Mick: Saturday's hike will start at Goldstream Park and, weather permitting, continue over Mt Finlayson to Holmes Peak for lunch. After that, we'll go over Tai Chi and Owl and back to our cars at Stonecrest. It's about a 4+30 hr hike. It's listed as a "C" hike but I'm not sure it qualifies as a "C". This is a good solid hike with good views and a few hills. About Mt Finlayson - there are options. If it is raining or the rocks are wet, we will not go up the mountain. However, there is a good trail around the base of the mountain which some of us did on New Year's Day. So - if it is wet, we can take that route and if it is dry and someone wants to lead a group around that way while the rest of us go over the top, then that is also an option. Questions? Please call or email me! I look forward to a good turnout.	29 January - Sunday A1a Mattick’s Farm to Cordova Bay Ridge, loop. 9:45 SMH Dtk. Dave 250-721-3492 B2b Mt. Wells. 9:00 SMH. 40k.
