It's summer and with a long weekend coming up, so we thought to create a small adventure for ourselves. The goal was to camp a night or two in our new tent and hopefully see some nice nature where I can hike around and JJ can paint.
Our first idea was to look at the official BC Parks, but reservin...

Not too long after the Echo Lake hike we went further north to Lake Callaghan where we camped for a night (no reservation, it can get crowded in the Summer) and then on the next day crossed the lake with our SUP's to hike up to Cirque Lake. The hike is quite steep as described as moderatly challen...

Short trail report from the Echo Lake Trail in Squamish in August 2021. The adventure starts early here since you have to cross a river to get to the trailhead.

This is one of the lower lakes on the w...

We are going down under! For the first time we both traveled south of the equator. How exciting!
I was the first to go, JJ was supposed to join up later... but more about that in a bit. At my work place we were working together with a group of the New South Wales government on a Certification Prog...

One of the most recommended hikes in the Sydney region is the Costal Walk. There is a shorter one (about 5km) from Bondi To Coogee, but decided to go for the longer one, which is from Bundeena to Otfort and totals in about 27 km. As I noted in the Sydney post, the weather on my first week of arrival...
