Earlier in the week, Jess and I were looking for some easy baggage to get in (with Sierra on back) on a Saturday morning before my son's soccer game a 2pm in North Vancouver.  Scanning our brand-new North Shore Trail Map (love it -- waterproof; tearproof; Sierra-proof), de Pencier Bluffs looked like a good choice.   On top of that, the weather forecast was continuing to look awesome for at least the next 7 days so we were hoping to get some good views in a direction we don't usually get. 

About 20 minutes into my attempt to conquer Mt. Seymour this morning I was heading into the fog and I was pretty wet from brushing up against some vegetation.

As I carried on I figured I might just get lucky and end up above the clouds ... yeah right like that was gonna happen.

Shortly before reaching the first peak though that's exactly what happened.

Does anyone want to share a ride and maybe even a cabin (if there are enough of us) for the Frosty Mountain race this Saturday the 15th in Manning Park? There are three of us so far and we get going at 1pm from North Van on Friday and come back Sat after the race. There can be four more people in the van. If you havn't signed up yet, but you are thinking about it you can find all the info here: http://trailwhisperer.ca/

 

This would be the famous HP 20, 230 lumin head lamp for the hardcore middle of the night trail running.  Four setting with easy to use switch.  I personally use a couple sets of rechargeable batteries that I rotate (not included).

In great condition. Absolutely nothing wrong with it.  I want to move to a non-remote battery pack lamp.

$50.00 firm.

Thanks

We are from the Organization committee for the international running event “Biel running days” in Switzerland. This event contains: a kids run, a half marathon, a marathon and an 100km ultra run (which can be done alone, as a couple or in a 5 person team). What makes these runs particularly special is that they take place at night (except the kids run); the first runners begin at 10pm.
