Summer Hikes and Shakespeare

Standard
Join the GSS at Bard on the Beach July 14th
We’re organizing a special trip to see Shakespeare’s classic comedy As You Like in the beautiful setting of Vanier Park. This joyful production is a tribute to love, laughter and music. Set in the 1960’s it features 25 classic Beatles songs.

It’s a ton of fun.The cast’s performances of the songs are great, as is the lovingly recreated 1960’s setting. There’s even an onstage All-Star Wrestling event before the show.

Hike Eagle Bluffs with the GSS
Only July 28th  we’re off to Cypress Provincial Park to hike to Eagle Bluffs! It’s a 4 hour (round trip) intermediate hike that offers a spectacular view of Vancouver. On exceptionally clear days one can see as far as Vancouver Island to the west and even the snowy slopes of Mount Baker to the south.

 

 

You will need boots or runners with good tread and support – NO CONVERSE OR SANDALS! Bring at least 1 litre of water and snacks or lunch to enjoy at the bluffs. The views alone are worth the effort
