Blisters and Bliss

by David Foster, with Wayne Aitken

tagged: western provinces
Description

Each year, thousands of trekkers tackle the 75-kilometre West Coast Trail between Bamfield and Port Renfrew on Vancouver Island. And for over 20 years, this book has been the definitive guide to the world-famous trail. This sixth edition is completely up to date and expanded to include the latest on trail information, reservations, travel connections and trekker tips. The illustrations are a delight, and the book includes special sections for northbound and southbound hikers.

About the Authors
David Foster spent much of his trekking time checking out the flora and impressing others with his skill in building campsites and driftwood furniture (when not chasing mice out of his backpack). He was a retired school teacher-librarian, a master gardener, and an ardent nanny when in his award-winning Japanese shade garden. He passed away in 2019.

Wayne Aitken is frequently seen with his face in campfire smoke, tearfully preparing his culinary delights. He shamelessly followed in Dave’s footprints, particularly on soft, sandy beaches. Between treks, he may be seen trying to keep is kayak upright and his mountain bike in some else’s slip stream. Wayne continues to strive to keep Blisters and Bliss topical and current.
