Location

On the North end of Saltspring Island, One of the gulf island between Vancouver and Vancouver Island. Just 5 meters of North End Road, across from nr 2331

Participants

• Wijnland

Plans

My plan is to visit this location starting from Vancouver:

• Bike to Bridgeport bus exchange
• Bus 620 (with bike) to Twassen ferry
• Ferry Tswassen - Swartzbay
• Ferry Swartzbay - Fulford Harbour
• Bike around Saltspring Island to reach the geohash at the north end
• Ferry LongHarbour - Tswassen
• Bus back to Bridgeport
• Skytrain to get close to my house since I will be tired and to get an extra mode of transportation.

If most things work out, I will not get stuck on this island missing the last ferry...
