Mount Erskine climb, 5th February 2021
We had a driving day on Wednesday - took the ferry to Crofton and then drove up to Qualicum beach and back via French creek, Parksville and Nanoose Bay. Some house hunting, some sea lion watching, some squinting at Lasqueti island and back on the 4:50 ferry. We then had a quiet day yesterday, so we were ready for a good hike today. 10 minute drive to the access point at Trustees trail, and away we went. Beauty day and we met several other hikers on the trail.
