Coast to Coast for the Boss!

Jim has forged the Coastal trek experience ever since his own health and fitness active holiday experience in 2002. He is the original visionary for our resort and the driving force behind the inception, development, and fruition of the Coastal Trek experience. In addition to creating our family business he has also experienced the type of physical and emotional strain that comes along with such a mammoth task. In his unique and typically indomitable fashion he has come up with a plan to apply the Coastal Trek principles fully in his own daily routine.
It seems only right that our leader should 'walk the talk' so to speak.
Well, he is about to do so in a big way.
Strathcona Provincial Park very nearly straddles the entire width of Vancouver Island and our lead hiking guide, Mike Blake is currently planning a hiking route from Bedwell sound all the way across Strathcona Provincial Park back to Coastal Trek resort so that Jim can complete a guided, coast to coast, on foot, epic expedition accross Vancouver Island from the Pacific to Georgia Strait.
60+ Miles. Mountain Tops. Deep Valleys. Lakes (including Big Jim and Little Jim lake!). Rivers. Canyons.
Currently starting his training with local hikes and jogs, Jim will slowly increase his level of activity culminating with a typical Coastal Trek 7 day Program almost immediately prior to his ultimate Trek.
The guys will be camping and traversing for up to ten days and the ninth or tenth night will be a comfy one with RnR around the fireplace at Coastal Trek Lodge. Nice to walk accross such an incredible Island and have the last stage of your journey be launched from your own resort!
The trip is planned for early September and in addition to the brilliant guiding skills of our Mike, we will be supported by our great friends at Island Alpine Guides for the highest sections of the Traverse.
The entire trip will be blogged and youtubed so look for the latest details on this project as they are posted here and on the website.
