SUMMARY:Esquimalt Lagoon Castle Contemplative Walk
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Point: Esquimalt Lagoon Bridge\nMeeting Point Map: https://maps.app.goo.gl/SQKLMmwAGGj4JhVG8\nRoute Map: https://onthegomap.com/s/6m591vcv or https://onthegomap.com/s/i3otmnbq \nPets are not permitted on our walks for the comfort and safety of all walkers\, thank you! \nWe will meet at the Esquimalt Lagoon Bridge and begin by tucking into a rustic forested trail with shoreline views. From there\, we’ll follow the stream up Charlie’s Trail\, surrounded by greenery and small waterfalls. 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
