Mosi Cafe West Saanich Walk
Oct. 21, 8 am or 9:30 am
Meeting Point: Montana’s @ Tillicum Mall, or Layritz Park near the washroom area.
You have a choice of either completing a 20 km walk or you can join the group for a 10 km stroll. In both cases the walk is along flat and well marked surfaces. Whichever one you choose, you will have lovely scenery to enjoy and delicious coffee and treats at Mosi’s at the halfway point.
Option 1: 21 km Start at 8 am
This option is for those wanting a longer walk. Starting at Tillicum Mall by Montana’s we will walk along the Colquitz Creek Trail. This is a flat urban trail which follows the Colquitz Creek and passes through Panama Flats. The group will then turn on Mann Road to meet up with the rest of the Camino walkers who have chosen option 2 at Layritz Park. Washrooms are available at Layritz Park and after a brief rest we will continue on following the Glendale Trail through Camosun College. After a couple kilometers along some back country roads we will take the Interurban Rail Trail to our final destination at Mosi Cafe at the corner of Prospect Lake Road and West Saanich Road. We will then have a break with a much deserved coffee before reversing our route and returning to Tillicum Mall.

Option 2: 10 Km Start 9:30 am
For those wanting a shorter walk this is the option for you. We will meet at Layritz Park at 9:30 to meet up with those who started their hike at Tillicum Mall. Washrooms are available at Layritz Park. Following the Glendale Trail we will pass through Camosun College. After a couple kilometers along some back country roads we will take the Interurban Rail Trail to our final destination at Mosi Cafe at the corner of Prospect Lake Road and West Saanich Road. We will then have a break with a much deserved coffee before reversing our route and returning to Layritz Park.
