Report by Tom V
The weather was sunny and about 15 C for our first Sunday hike of the season. The 27 hikers (and 3 dogs) set out from the Sanctuary shortly after 10 am, led by our expert guide, Christine Bouckley-Moore. There are many poorly marked trails on this hike, so we need someone like 
Christine who has years of experience on these trails. Some of the sections were rocky and leaf-covered so we had to step carefully. We took a roundabout route to the cross at the summit, with some hikers doing an extra 1 km extension via the top of the ski hill just before the cross. The total hike was 8 km or 9 km, depending on if one did the extra bit. We were on the trails for 3 hr 9 min. It was a great first hike!
