這是我的一個活動計劃,自駕車,目前已有三人。歡迎大家探討並邀共同參加。(可否幫我置頂啊?)
活動日期: 2003-4-4--6
集合地點: 溫哥華Broadway 和Commercil Drive交界的Starbucks
活動說明: 選擇那裡集合是看交通比較方便,又是兩路天鐵的匯合點。
由北溫的Horseshoe Bay乘渡輪開始“陽光海岸”之旅,經過Gibsons, Sechelt, Halfmoon Bay,再由Earls Cove過海到Saltery Bay,繼續開車北上至Powell River。
Powell River過海到溫哥華島Comox,沿著海岸線19A公路往南開,到Nanaimo。
最後到Victoria,乘渡輪回溫。
詳細行程:
Apr. 4 Catch BC ferry at Horseshoe Bay for Langdale (40 minutes), at 11:20 ( or 13:20 / 15:30).
We buy CirclePac for four-route travel package. Shoulder season saver fare $21.25, which saves up to 15% off the regular. ($23.5 for a car). While crossing Howe Sound, keep your eyes peeled for orcas, harbor seals, bald eagles and the occasional osprey looking for breakfast.
Reach Longdale at noon time. Get on Route 101 and head north as far as Gibsons (5km). Lunch at Molly’s Reach, for years the set for a popular Canadian television series and now a restaurant. After lunch, we can stroll around the numerous art galleries and craft shops, Elphinstone Pioneer Museum.
Head back to Route 101 to Sechelt (22km). Beautiful Sechelt Inlet is good for Kayaking. Keep going on to Halfmoon Bay, Pender Harbour and Ruby Lake to Earls Cove (59km). There are Porspose Bay Provincial Park, Sargeant Bay Provincial Park, Coopers Green Regional Park, and Smuggler Cove Provincial Marine Park on the way.
