Hiking Cypress Mountain

I LOVE walking up mountains, I do!  I might not be saying that whilst going up any particularly steep (or even slightly steep, ha!) bits but the views along the way, views from the top and sense of achievement once done is brilliant.  I also got to meet some more great people (mostly through couchsurfing, god I love that site).

By the way - for you winter olympic fans, Cypress Mountain (still have to remind myself not to call it Cypress Hill!) is the one where they had freestyle skiing and snowboarding)

I'd like to say I meant for this to happen but really, my camera lens just got a little foggy - cool tho'!
