Hi there, I suspect you have left for Europe. Being a working stiff I have not had the time to hike for 6 or 7 hours. I will have to leave that until the Camino where I will have nothing else on my plate but walking... My email address is joan@cdnrs.ca
Hi Allan,
Thank you for the insight. I'd love some information on the BBY Lake and Mtn routes. I want to do a long hike as a test, was thinking about the Baden Powell, but I like the loop idea. This working cuts into my hours allotted for hikes. So hence the tsawassen training.

Trying to avoid the grind... Someone out there was saying the Camino was like doing the grouse grind everyday that worried me.. I've been up dog mountain and that was a hard hike and teapot hill 2.8 km 20 m to 400 m, it was a nice hike, Burnaby mountain, the rest of the elevation comes from...
It's rediculous hard trying to get in the training.. So looking forward to only having to walk. I've got around 36 days allotted.. My husband, sister and friends arrive mid October, they may be waiting for me or I might be waiting for them, I guess it depends on how it all plays out..
I've had peeps make comments on FB about grammar errors and am a little gun shy... Didn't mean to insult.... The last person who saw me with my gear on asked me if I was running away... I replied yup I'm walking 800km through northwestern part of Spain .... He wished me luck and so when I see...
