10:00 am, south of the Mount Erskine summit
Another day, another hike. This time on the Erskine Trails, with the marginally faithful Westie: Cameron.
The fog, frost and snow make it so quiet, peaceful and different from the usual view.
Caution required though as one step off that ledge takes you very quickly to forest floor many hundreds of feet below.
There are only so many mountains on a small island like Salt Spring. So it’s been mentioned and photographed before on this website. Quickly browse the other Erskine posts by typing erskine in the search box at the bottom of the website. Or, if you’re in a big hurry, just click here.
Yes, my stomach turns looking at that edge. I hope you and your pooch with a mind of his own, stayed well away from the cliff.
Yes, for sure. The snow was hard and slippery and the exposed rocks in the area were covered in clear (‘black’) ice. I made sure to tie Cam up well back from where I took the photo.
At home in the highlands, we saw fog and cloud all day; hard to believe that was yesterday’s sky jus another few hundred feet up.
John, I am relieved you tied up your beloved Westie!
