Whoop whoop. Good luck ๐Ÿค—ย 

Think your journey should have its own thread even if you can't update it often it would be nice to keep all the pics in one place. Wot u say @XTreme?

Good idea Caroline.....and it's done!

Why can't other forums (some of whom pass the begging bowl round) be as switched on as we are?

What you say @Tym?

We left the Sunshine Coast (home) today and are heading to Vancouver Island to pickup some equipment. ย We will be on the island for a few days, then back to the mainland to head North. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Ladders are a great way to get out of a mudhole with. use them like tracks.ย :littleguy:

As the second week of my journey starts I have had a chance to look back at the first week.ย  We were in the backcountry fast and without cell reception for most of the week.ย  I have just now had a few days with the internet to touch base with the world.ย  :wave:

We have already seen some amazing places but one of my favourites was a place called Marble Canyon.ย  We camped beside Turquoise lake in the middle of this beautiful canyon.ย  We stayed there for a few days and just enjoyed this magical place.ย ๐Ÿฅฐ

If you look real close in about the middle of the photo you can see our little red tent....๐Ÿ™‚

Superb. Lovely views. Amazing lake. So are there fish in a limestone lake? Or does it change the pH and make it inhospitable?

What a great spot to stop and it doesnโ€™t even look crowded.

Looks like you are having a good adventure, nearly as good as spending time here waiting for Peteโ€™s new bike.

I have trouble looking at that picture without listening to the voice of the portuguese guy that dubs BBC wild life documentaries in my head, what a pretty picture!

Yes, I was told the trout are very good and fishing there is common.ย ๐Ÿ™‚

There was almost no one around.ย  The park caretaker was really cool as well.ย  She brought us fresh baked snacks the second day we were there.ย ๐Ÿ‘

Into the third week of my adventure and I'm looking back at last week.ย  I have to say the highlight of the week was our hike through a park to a waterfall.ย  I have seen some waterfalls in my day, but this one was amazing as the surrounding area was just as stunning.ย ย 

Helmcken Falls is a 141 m (463 ft) waterfall on the Murtle River within Wells Gray Provincial Park in British Columbia, Canada. The protection of Helmcken Falls was one of the reasons for the creation of Wells Gray Provincial Park in 1939. Helmcken Falls is the fourth highest waterfall in Canada, measured by total straight drop without a break.ย 

What a sight....๐Ÿฅฐ
