Summer 2024 Adventure
(Alberta and British Columbia)
Completing our Trans Canada Trail journey

Our plan in 2024 is to complete the southern crossing of Canada on the Trans Canada Trail. It's been a long journey froth with delays, changing plans and a pandemic! 

Our trek will start east of St Paul Alberta in mid-May (2024) and end on September 2nd in Victoria, British Columbia. We hope to be accompanied by many of our friends for the last few kilometers of our Journey!

​We continue our partnership with the TCT organization as a TCT Trail Pathfinder.

We always share our thoughts on our next few trips. Here are some possibilities:
 
  1. In the fall of 2024, after finishing the TCT, Simon is likely joining some friends for a motorcycle adventure to Austin, Texas. The Formula 1 at the COTA (Circuit Of The Americas) is scheduled for October 16-18. He attended the MotoGP, the motorcycle Grand Prix, a few years ago. this will be fun...
  2. for 2025, to celebrate Simon's 65th birthday, we will likely hike two or three desert/high mountain trails in the Southwest (US) - the birthday boy's choice. Nothing is firm yet and it will depend on the outcome of the US election :o))
  • The Uinta Highline Trail in Utah. Utah's longest wilderness through-hike, this backpacking route traverses the length of the Uinta Mountains, skirting just beneath the state's highest peaks and crossing several passes.​​
  • The MOAB 240 Trail (400 kms) with a total elevation gain and loss of over 10,000m. The trail starts and ends in Moab, Utah while crossing Utah's Canyonlands N.P., a series of wilderness areas including the Needles, and the La Sal mountains.
  • The Colorado Trail is a continuous path from Denver to Durango. This 567 miles (~850km), of recreational trail passes through six National Forests and six Wilderness areas, traverses five major river systems, and penetrates eight of the State’s mountain ranges. The average elevation is well above 3,300m with the highest point at 4,100m. What makes The Colorado Trail unique is that it was developed with the efforts of thousands of volunteers, all interested in the conservation and recreational exploration of Colorado’s stunning mountainous areas.
    3.   If spending time in the US isn't our cup a tea (for whatever reason), we will likely explore the possibility of tackling another
​          long trail in Europe. These are the options:
  • The GR34, also known as the Customs Officer's Path (le Sentier des Douaniers) is in Brittany, France. This is the most famous of the Grande Randonnée long-distance footpaths! It’s a route steeped in history, salt and sea spray. This is the preferred long-distance footpath of the French: welcome to the Customs Officers’ path! It snakes along the coastline of Brittany for over 2,000 km, from Mont-Saint-Michel to the bridge of Saint-Nazaire. Showing off its red and white markers, it offers anyone who walks it a large breath of fresh ocean air and stunning sea views. Select a section and let the charm behold you: you’ll soon be ready for another little section…
  • The Penine Way (430km) in Britain."Walking the backbone of England from the Peak District to the Scottish border on Britain's first National Trail. Steeped in history and traversing spectacular landscapes, the iconic Pennine Way stretches for England’s wild northern uplands. The route follows England’s rocky spine from the hills of the Derbyshire Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales, through the stunning Swaledale Valley, across the North Pennines and over Hadrian’s Wall in Northumberland to the Cheviot Hills, ending in the Scottish Borders in Kirk Yetholm.


​Our Approach to Planning


​Our process has evolved through the years. It involves combing through a series of factors to help build a thorough plan. Starting with Trail Knowledge, we create an itinerary. We then remove obstacles for the trek, select Equipment, design a Nutrition Plan, and lastly adopt a Fitness Routine. This in-depth approach gives us the best chance to successfully accomplish our adventure.
