Customer Reviews

Great Trip Selection Tool

As another reviewer notes, this book is a general review of the entire BC west coast. I have used it to get the flavor and identify areas for trips. Then I hit the charts and look for local contacts. I have never been disappointed in the information. Ince's recommendations are absolutely sterling. My view is that specifics like campsites and itineraries are best discovered not copied, so this book has exactly the level of detail I look for in a guide book. There are quite a few sort of goofy anecdotes, but they usually contribute to painting a picture of the area's aesthetic qualities. This is a narrative from the paddler's perspective, not a Michelin Guide. It is the best guide for remote areas of Vancouver Island that I know. I'd like to see it updated.

a great book with a lot between the lines

I have used this book as a guide for over 10 years. It has helped and never failed me.
