A great camp site except the showers are a disaster. Never mind. It has dawned anther lovely day. The drive north west from McBride is through fairly sparse habitation and not as picturesque as previous but it’s relatively light traffic. The clutch is now working trouble and leak free. There…
Day 21. Monday, 20th May. Stationary today. Last night there was a beautiful red sunset. I am a great believer in the old adage “Red sky at night, shepherd’s delight”. This morning we awoke to a beautiful blue sky. The vents were wide open above us and through them we…
Jeepers it was cold last night. About 2deg in the cabin. We waited till it had warmed a bit before climbing out of bed in the morning. Fortunately we were stopped early yesterday and there were only a few other campers in the large area provided just outside Lake Louise. …
Today is a significant day. It is the due date of my fifth grandchild, granddaughter number 2. However, my son James informs me there are no arrival signs at the moment. I am sorry to be so far away and out in the wilds, without much access to wifi or…

Monday 13th Day 14 & Tuesday 14th Day 15 Days 12 and 13 have been spent in Whistler working on the Land Rover and helping Tim, Sarah, Charley and Jason move into their new house, so nothing of interest for the blog. Up early on Monday 13th and after sadly…
3rd to 10th May. Days 4 to 11. It’s been a week or so since the last update and much has happened. All positive though and we are on track to hit the road on Monday morning at 7am. There is a date to keep in Squamish, (a commercial town…
Days 1 – 3. Tues. 30th April, Weds. 1st May and Thurs. 2nd May A good flight with Westjet from Gatwick to Vancouver. We like Westjet. Although they are a “low cost” carrier, they are efficient, the seating is good and the crew are friendly and attentive. A late departure,…
