Our journey started Thursday with the drive up to Ahmic Harbour to prepare and be closer to the start on Friday morning.  This gave everyone the last chance to look at the map, get their bearings and prepare with the odd beer.  As always, the one beer turns to another, and before you know it, bam, midnight. Bern thinking of the fun to come.   Friday morning wake up and time for a good breakfast and loading up the cars with our gear.  You know that feeling you get when you have everything packed, but in your gut youre missing something, but you just can't put your fin
