We left on Friday night (after work) and blitzed the highway, only stopping briefly at Hope for dinner (looks like a good place - more to explore).
Where we faulted was with our planning. The August bank holiday is understandably one of the busiest weekends of the year. We didn't bother to book a campsite - adopting our usual 'turn up and hope' theory.
For the first time ever, it failed us. There wasn't a single campsite free in an entire park that we'd planned to stay (Manning Park for those Canadians who know where this is).
Thankfully, Monty, our trustee vehicle, came to our rescue once more:
Yep, we gave up driving late into the night and slept at the side of the highway. We set up our camping gear in the back of the car...squashed between our two bikes...and fell asleep to the peaceful sound of traffic.
Lesson learnt for us; book a campsite when travelling during high season.
