The day it rained, Tsusiat Falls to Crib Creek
So we were up at 5.45am to pack up camp and set off on a tough 17km hike to the next water source. This was going to be a hard day. Andy was concerned it would take us 11 hours and I was already having anxiety attacks about Logan Creek, but ...
The Long Walk of Shame........
Took a short walk ( about 2 miles up the beach ) to the hole in the wall early this morning. It was so pretty with the mist on the water, although the weather was a bit dull and overcast. It was amazing how easy it was to move across the ...

Tentative Steps
Darling River to Tsusiat Falls 11 km - 8 hrs We woke up to a foggy misty morning with no sun or views of the horizon. Fortunately it wasn't raining. Celine was full of trepidation as we weren't sure how the day would turn out. Either she would be able ...

Day 1 of West Coast Trail
Pachena Bay Trailhead (North End) Km 0 - Michigan Creek Km 12. Well, we made it to the morning orientation. So we found out where the bears were, that apparently if a cougar attacked you were meant to fight back (Duh!), suggestions on where to ...
Day 3. Klanawa (km22.5) to Tsusiat Falls (km25)
By this time Andy's socks had really begun to smell. So he hung them on the back of his pack to 'air'. I kept a wide berth, especially after he uttered the unforgettable line: "I think the smell of my socks is giving me a cheese ...
Day 2: Michigan Creek (Km12) - Klanawa (km22.5)
Again a beautiful day. I got to practice more ladders and by the end of it I was even able to go up and down with my own pack - slowly, very slowly. This made Andy much happier. and the journey much faster. Unfortunately, we met one of ...
Night 1 on the WCT - km 12.
Needless to say, we didn't make it to Darling River Campsite at Km14 that evening. What should have been a 4 hour hike took us 6 hours and we only made it to Michigan Creek campsite at Km12. But it was still beautiful camping on the ...

The middle of nowhere
We arrived at the Hutton house at 9:30pm. Scott and Rachel had expected us for already a long time, but since our GPS did not know that the freeway had no exits anymore, it took us a lot more kilometers then expected before we found the right spot. I ...
