Dan and I have just had another bash at this wonderful, very runable trail. It is a measured trail with kilometre markes all the way, from the Cowichan Fish and Game Association Clubhouse Trailhead to Skutz falls. 42K in 5.5. Very nice! Dan, I have your KK coffee mug!

How about an out and back? Boring.
What about linking it to another trail?
Gary Robbins feat of running the West Coast Trail and the Juan De Fuca Marine Trail back to back in under 24h made it into the Province newspaper. Please read the full article here.
Hey, for anyone who is interested there is a small article in today's Province Newspaper. I have also uploaded my photos and video to my blog www.garyrobbins.blogspot.com
