Report: This year's running of Mutha's Nature saw overcast conditions, but luckily despite there being not a sky in the cloud, the rain held off. Perfect running conditions, especially at these low elevations, while for those who skipped it to go bagging, not so much. A good day for a 'shit-bag' I guesss though.
During our 10.5 hour baggage expedition yesterday, David Crerar, Simon Cowell and I had lots of time to ponder things. The route we had chosen was new to the Bagger Challenge. "What will we call it?" I asked, assuming that, if we were successful, this route would become a classic.
Yesterday (a week day), I bagged a peak for the first time with my friend Neil the ChickenMan. Immediately upon my return, I went to a street party where none of the attendees were Baggers.

All this for bragging rights on a claim to have reached the peak of an obscure mountain peak and making it home alive in time for dinner.
Report: Contrary to the weather forecast leading up to Saturday, we truly had Sunshine in September on the Sunshine Coast this weekend. On Saturday morning, we arrived at the ferry terminal to find our starters properly caffeinated and ready to go.

For those of us NOT from BC or another coastal area, ferry rides are a rarity. I really didn't know what to expect in terms of what this "boat" would look like. It was a pleasant surprise because BC ferries are PLUSH! First of all, the things are HUGE and can hold more than 100 cars - WOW!
