How to Get to the Start?

  • For the Full Monty: get to my place 1732 Llandaff Place (off Shelbourne near Mt.Douglas) the night before, or get yourselves to the start for  6:45 for the 7:00 start.
  • For the Half Monty: Take the 7:00 am Tswaasen ferry to Swartz Bay.
  • Then follow #17 southbound for about 6K. Pass the Airport, keep going until about the 15K mark, look out for the major road, Keating Cross Rd, on the Right. Take Keating Cross Rd. for about 3K till you hit West Saanich Rd. Turn left onto the (17A )West Saanich Rd. and drive to about the 20K mark to Durrance Rd. (small twisty Rd.) on the right. Take Durrance for about 1K, till it hits Wallace Drive. Turn left onto Wallace Drive, drive about 3K to Willis Point Rd. Turn sharp right onto Willis Point Rd. Take Willis Point for 3K to the sign for Gowlland Todd Provincial park on Ross Durrance Rd. Drive 100 metres to the Car Park on the Left. Park.
  • Total driving time from the ferry terminal in Swartz Bay is  about 30 mins.
  • I have a friend at the start of the 1/2 monty. He will be at the carpark at 9:30 and will escort all the 10 o'clock people to the trailhead.(3 minute walk.)
