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...

Expedition

The total trip involved: Home >Bike> Bridgeport Station 08.00 >Bus620> 08.40 Ferry Terminal Tswassen 09.00 >Ferry> 10.35 Swartz Bay 11.00 >Ferry> 11.35 Fulford Harbour >Bike> 13.28 Geohash location >Bike> Long Harbour 15.30 >Ferry> 18.00 Ferry Tswassen >(busjustleft)Bike> Ladner Exchange 18.55 >Bus404> Brighouse Station >Canadaline Skytrain> King Edward Station >Bike> Home

The weather started of with rain, but before arriving on the Island it got dry and the afternoon was sunny and very nice. Sunset on the ferry back to the mainland was stunning.
