The SCT 3

Round 3 Go: Sunshine Coast Trail km 95-130 After last Fall, our 50km hike got Candace and I to the half way point of the sunshine coast trail. Tin hut mountain. It was a slog. Skunked on a fire in the cabin, and socked in with weather. The trip ended in a windstorm that had us up all night trying to connect with our shuttle … Continue reading The SCT 3

On the edge of everywhere

I stop to catch my breath. The morning sun is already warm. A fine change from recent weeks. I’m 7 kms in to my morning run and the sweat is beginning to sting my eyes. Keep moving! I am trying to tie off my monthly running goal by the end of the long weekend so I have a few days to shift gears. Doubtful. We’ll … Continue reading On the edge of everywhere

Moved. Moved to pick up a map and start drawing the line of our next adventure? Piecing together the next Epic? In short, by will. Please. Please do not … Continue reading In the void of adventure

Sunshine Coast Cycling

Hey folks. Last summer I cycled an amazing route along the Sunshine Coast. Rolling hills, some big climbs and some cold beers. I was asked recently if I could put together an article for folks looking to go cycle touring in that region.

The Process of Planning a Trip.

Putting together multiday trips, regardless of the activity takes careful thought, some obsessive packing, and a bit of stress. Surprisingly I have had a number of people say to me that they don’t know how to put together a multiday trip. Not knowing where to begin. So I thought I would lay out how I put together my adventures.. The Trip: What is my objective? Kayaking the … Continue reading The Process of Planning a Trip.
