The Point

The trail head at Sheringham point.


Sheringham Point Lighthouse

It is interesting that, although we have been in Sooke for eight months now, we have seen very little of the area, of course we have walked a thousand kilometers, done the Galloping Goose at least once, Wiffin Spit fifty times and neighbourhood walks once or twice a week, but we've only explored the more "distant" beaches a few times.

This was our first visit to Sheringham Point, about fifteen kilometers away, and the magnificent craggy coastline and views of the Juan de Fuca. The weather cooperated and we had a great day down at the trail head and the preserved lighthouse.

Wigan Mining and Technical College

Unfortunately no more, but the big colliery wheel was still there, memories of the final year of my Higher National Certificate in Mechanical Engineering, my good friend, the recently departed Paul Martin and the lovely discovery of Karen Gore a wife to be had.



Wigan Hall

A trip to Wigan and Leigh College and just around the corner at Frog Lane, the mother and child reunion continued with an impromptu snap outside of Wigan Hall, just prior to finding out that Deanery School had been demolished and replaced with a new building.

Say cheese.......
