My partner, June, on Athabasca Glacier in the Rockies, 1996.

Roughing it in the BC Gulf Islands.

Fresh prawns and fine wine make a good combination. We bought this lot live, right off a fishboat.


Travelling with a canoe is a good way to go - far easier than dragging a trailer.

We had loading and unloading down to a five-minute, no-hassle job. With a Subaru 4-WD and good maps, we got away from the noisy "outboard and boombox" mob into spectacular country and quiet, remote lakes and waterways.

This is near the Alberta-Montana border near Waterton
