Metchosin and the Galloping Goose Trail

Metchosin, west of Victoria, always makes us think of the very funny Tom Henry, and his CBC radio program (and later a book I think) Dogless in Metchosin. It's a very beautiful and rural area between Victoria and Sooke, at the very southern end of Vancouver Island.
First was a visit to the Metchosin Art Gallery, to see their show Threads 2013. The fibre artists exhibiting were members of the local branch of the Surface Design Association; we saw some amazing art quilts and weavings.
Then it was time to get on our bikes and find the Galloping Goose Trail, which used to be a rail line. We rode past small farms, huge rock cliffs, mossy trees, arbutus trees and lakes. We could see fog to the south where the beach was but we were in sun up on the trail.
