Wild Pacific Trail

Nigel and I decided despite rain, wind and our continuous low grade flu we would take on the Wild Pacific Trail together. We did it over two days. The Trail runs along the western part of Vancouver Island on the open Pacific Ocean. The ocean is extremely rough and there are signs occasionally of being swept out to sea by big waves if you are on some of the rock ledges. The first day we did the lighthouse loop. It turned out to be easier than we thought. The path is very well maintained and could even be done with a baby buggy. This part was longer, but not as long as the map makes it look. We parked at one end and then just walked back through the whole trail again without stopping for the views (which took less than an hour).
