昨天听英子提到(QQ的Idea?),觉得不错,大家看是否可行:?
我们在24日当天到达Port Renfrew以后,先把车开到北面的终点 Pachena Bay,再从那里坐上(提前预定的)Shuttle Bus返回起点。这样,走到终点就可以开车走了,路上的行程就可以相对自由,如果觉得好玩多玩半天一天的也不必担心坐不上车。
刚查了一下Shuttle Bus从Pachena Bay出发的时间是1:15。
不知道时间上能否赶得及?从Port Renfrew开到Pachena Bay要3.5小时(Shuttle Bus),还要找地方停车...。从地图上看从Ferry直接去终点可能更快些?或者坐Ferry到Nanaimo,然后再直接去终点? 我对温哥华岛不很熟悉,请大家补充和更正。
這個idea, 可行性不高. 由Nanaimo 到 Pachena Bay 要三小時至四小時. 除非週六(24 號)從Horseshoe Bay 乘 6:30 am ferry, 8:05 am 到達 Nanaimo, 就可趕及1:15pm 在Pachena Bay trailhead 開出的West Coast Trail Express.
今早打電話到Pachena Bay 的Information Centre 查詢, 一位女職員說: “由 Nanaimo 到 Port Alberni 行公路, 但由 Port Alberni 到 Pachena Bay 是走崎嶇不平的 logging road, 如果沒有一架高身車, 恐怕不好走. 而且所有logging road是私家路, 屬于筏木公司. 日間常遇到他們的大型運作, 其他車輛要停下來讓路. 在Information Centre 100 米處有免費停車場供hikers overnight使用”
以下的資料是一位在2002 七月五日走WCT的hiker 向我提供:

Hi, Camony --
The parking lot is at the trailhead, and there's a campground nearby. The road is fairly rough -- you need to take logging roads for a good chunk of the way. Most people who drive it are in jeeps or trucks. You can also take a bus, and hitchhiking is really, really easy on the island -- even if you're not hitching, people who see you on the road will stop and ask you if you need a lift.
Good luck! And take along extra footwear, as lightweight as possible! You won't regret it.
