The initial plan was to walk/hike some trails. First up was Mt Newton which promised views like this from the top.

However, as we drove up to the park the gate was still closed for the “winter” season and we’d have to park a fair distance away and it looked like a long way of up hill walking just to get to the start of the trail. Plan “B”.
We decide to return to home base and stop at another park we saw on the way up.
After the park walk we decide it’s time for some lunch and we head to Jack’s on the Water .
I’d wanted to hike Charlie’s Trail where there was a promise of seeing a waterfall, forest and of course more boats. Charlie’s Trail on AllTrails
However, this was a drive into Victoria proper and I was getting a bit tired from all the driving so we settled for a walk on the waterfront trail in Downtown Sidney for a few minutes and then back to home base.
