Saturday may 30th
Flew to Bamfield . Gravel strip in reasonable shape, looks like about 1500 feet.
Was a bit of turbulence on approach due to some wind and the type of terrain .
Did the walk to the village, its about 2 km and all down hill !!! When I got to the village there is a market with a small restaurant on one side of it. It closes at 2:00 pm so if you hungry get there early !! The walk down hill was quick but looking back up the hill made me shudder. Just the thought of walking back up there was not of much interest !!! Then < behold, a ford van with Bamfield Taxi on the side of it !!! She charges $15.00 for a five minute ride to the airstrip !!
Best $15.00 I ever spent. Cell phone service is almost non existent in that area. Just a couple odd sweet spots ,but that's it.
Checked out Keeha Beach and Pachena Beach. Both are very doable but tide was a liitle too high to land. From what I could see they looked very good,but not sure how soft they were yet. Will try next time I am out there and the tides are good !!
