| Description | Moderate caving on north Vancouver Island with Bill West-Sells as our guide. We will meet Bill at Sayward and drive to the cave area from there. Challenges may include bridging, climbing, stretching, wriggling, not to mention small, dark, wet places. We will be going to caves we have not visited before. We will walk for about half an hour through brush to reach the cave. Make sure you read the notes below on what to bring. We will need some 4-wheel-drive vehicles some clearance as the end of the road is quite steep. |
| Meeting Place | Q Cove ferry terminal |
| Departure Time | 9:00 ferry to Campbell River; if you are driving come early to avoid the overload |
| Difficulty | Moderate |
| Costs | Ferry and shared gas |
| Trip limits | 12 people or enough 4-wheel-drive vehicles |
| Dogs? | No |
| Notes: |
Wear rubber boots, neoprene socks or booties, or wool socks with runners that you don’t mind getting wet. The water will be cold. Bring coveralls, a helmet that you are able to fit with head light, and a head light, if you have one. Bill has some extras that he will bring. Flexible gloves, if you have them. A change of shoes and socks with a small towel. Bring a backpack, as we will walk for a half hour to the cave entrance. Also lunch and water. If you have a walkie-talkie or family radio, please bring it with charged batteries.
