Sunshine Coast Trail
Mileage: 15km We awoke once again to rain. This time we didn't laze around though since warm showers and cold beers were waiting for us in town! We even managed to get packing up down to 1.5 hours or so despite needing to maneuver around in the tent to pack up most of our stuff. … Continue reading SCT 2021 Day 6 – Back to the car!
Mileage: 11.75 km We had another relatively early start with Toothless ready to start the day before 6am - definitely woke up a few members of the group camping under us. Oops 😉 A steady climb up towards Confederation Lake took longer than I hoped for, but eventually we reached the cabin. We had a … Continue reading SCT 2021 Day 5 – Fiddlehead to Inland Lake
Mileage: 15.5km mostly along FSRs to avoid going back over Tin Hat Lewis Lake was very noisy overnight - the frogs were throwing a huge party most of the night! It was surprisingly warm for right beside the lake though which was nice. Today was our turnaround day and neither of us was looking forward … Continue reading SCT 2021 Day 4 – Roadwalking to Fiddlehead
Mileage: 6.75 km Toothless was once again up bright and early around 5:30am; it was raining it still though and we still needed his diapers to dry, so we didn't start packing up yet. After some crawling all over us, thankfully we were able to convince him to go back to sleep until 7am. It … Continue reading SCT 2021 Day 3 – Tin Hat to Lewis Lake
Mileage: 13.5 km After a toasty night in the cabin, Toothless woke up ready to start the day bright and early just after 5am. We took advantage of the cabin and had a slow start and finally got on the trail around 7:30am. It was a nice sunny morning as we headed downhill towards Fiddlehead … Continue reading SCT 2021 Day 2 – Confederation Lake to Tin Hat Mountain
Plan In preparation for our 2021 GDT hike with Toothless, we decided to do a shakedown hike on the SCT. Initially we planned a yoyo of the SCT, but due to COVID19 restrictions, and us being a little behind figuring out our sleep system, we weren't left with enough time to do the SCT yoyo … Continue reading SCT 2021 Day 1 – Mowat Bay to Confederation Lake
Before COVID19 paused the world, we found out we were expecting a child in October 2020 as we had been planning. We had been planning for some time, so we had some ideas about how we wanted to spend the first year together already. We love spending time together away from other people. We love … Continue reading Trip Planning: Pandemic Options with a Baby
We both slept pretty well, but we were quite hot throughout the night. I guess nine people in a tiny cabin is a great way to generate heat. We were the first ones up, so we gathered our belongings got our bags packed up on the porch - it was actually pretty pleasant outside compared … Continue reading Sunshine Coast Trail – Day 2 – Mount Troubridge to Lois Lake
The day started out extremely early as we wanted to be at the ferry terminal at 5am to ensure we caught the first ferry to the Sunshine Coast. We managed to get there right on time and we hoped to catch a short nap while waiting, but that didn't quite work out. A large family … Continue reading Sunshine Coast Trail – Day 1 – Saltery Bay to Mount Troubridge
Very overdue (publishing some old drafts we forgot about) - here is our trip report from the Sunshine Coast Trail. Summary So, unfortunately, we didn't end up finishing the trail as Kyle got injured on Day 5 and we had to hike out. We did get over halfway through the trail though. The trail was … Continue reading Trip Report: Sunshine Coast Trail
