Thanks Hein, these are some great suggestions. I think your first suggestion is the most practical for us, time is a factor and as much as I would LOVE to ride for two weeks along the british south coast I can't be away from our daughter for that long. A 10 day trip would be ideal. The West Coast Trail sounds wonderful and challenging. Plus, it would give me another reason to visit my close friend in Vancouver. sounds_sound, have you hiked this before?

Enjoy your trek on the Larapinta Trail, from what I gather it's going to be a pretty hot hike in the summer. Hydrate!

You might like to pair the West Coast Trail with a bike ride from Vancouver to Victoria (ferry included) and maybe throw in a wine tour in the Okanagan which is sort of Canada's napa valley.

Really though, These places wouldn't be too different from Charlevoix. Except everything is at a WAY bigger scale. Pacific Ocean, Coast Mountains. If I were you guys, I would go to Istanbul.

We are going to be in Charlevoix in the not too distant future and are taking two nights to stay in Wine country. Wish you were going to be there pal, I'd mix up some "Charlevoix's" and we'd be big pimpin

No. Never hiked the West Coast Trail. camping and busy are two things I don't like to combine. Tofino is nice though. Spent a week there last summer.

I did in 2004, also as a by-product of visiting a close friend in Vancouver (I love that city!). Actually my summer is Australia's winter so I will be OK.

That makes more sense, from what I read the trail can be brutal during Australia's summer. Have a great time, let me know what you think of the trek. I like the way you travel.
