We’ll then come down through Royal Roads to Hatley Castle\, entering through the back garden gate to explore the spring foliage. Exiting through the oceanside gate\, we’ll continue along forest trails to Royal Bay Bakery\, where we’ll enjoy a coffee break together. There are some steep sections and a few ungroomed trails\, though most of the route is on groomed paths with some pavement. \nThere are two options for this walk: \nOption 1:\nThis walk will be slower and offers a guided meditation using the psalms and other sacred texts. The route follows a hidden trail past the lagoon\, through lush forest and waterfalls\, and into the Castle Gardens. Those who wish to join the meditation will pause along the way for inspiration and quiet reflection. After having coffee the meditation group will walk down Lagoon Road to the ocean and return to the bridge. \nOption 2:\nThere is also an option to follow the map independently\, including an extended portion of the walk. This group will walk faster and after coffee can continue along Metchosin Road to Royal Bay and enjoy a beach walk back to Esquimalt Lagoon and the bridge. \nWalk Statistics:\nTotal Distance: 9 km or 11 km\nEstimated Finish Time: 2.5 – 3  hours\nElevation Change: 260 m\nDifficulty: Easy/Medium\nSurface: Pavement and Trails
