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.

Yes I am getting pretty bored walking around Tsawwassen and then having to listen to silly comments so needed to switch it up. I am itching to try a longer hike. When we finished teapot I added a few of the horse trails cause it was to short.
Hey Rick;
Thanks for that advice... I will give 56th Street a work out, entertain all the peeps waiting in border line :) I've been climbing 52A then over to Stahaken, then down English bluff over to the Terrace and down climb back up then over to 4th and up Rosehill then back to Beach Grove...
That's a good analogy, I did the grind a few years ago, I was out of shape and it was quite a challenge to reach the top.. Recently did teapot hill, its average grade is 10% and it was enjoyable.. Perhaps if I took my hiking poles to the grind it would make the difference. thanks for the...
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...
Not sure if there is. Maybe once I've completed I will investigate... I haven't walked further than 16 km in 3 1/2 hours. I get out about 3 times a week. I have been hiking in North Vancouver and cultus lake area to get some tougher climbs in..
This past week I've noticed 3 people that are hiking around Tsawwassen with backpacks, hiking boots and poles I stopped to chat with one today and asked if she was training for the Camino Frances, her reply was "is it that obvious." Yup it is because I have been circumventing t town for the...
Hi Katie;
I to will be walking my first camino Frances in September, I depart Vancouver Canada on September 7th.. I agree this forum has been very helpful.
