On our July trip we headed as far west as Port Moody to visit my niece, Julie, and her boyfriend, Kurt. They live within walking distance of the water and some excellent hiking trails. Oh! And a delicious ice cream shop! :-)
We had our first opportunity to fly at Bridal Veil Falls near Chilliwack, thanks to a group of local pilots who were heading up one afternoon. The launch is a bit tricky because of usual cross winds and, after watching a couple local and more experienced pilots botch a couple of their launches, I decided not to try it. Those who did fly said it was a rather bumpy ride so I'm just as happy I stayed on the ground! Andrew is far more brave than I am and had a great launch, flight and landing.
We camped near Harrison Hot Springs and, after supper, enjoyed the sunset view over Harrison Lake.
Woodside is always one of my favourite places to fly. Great launch area and nice big landing zone!
