Nice work in the MTB Park. That A-Line trail is awesome! Lucky you saw the bear in the clearing and not in the single track!

I'll be at work when you arrive in Edinburgh, so my Dad will be able to pick you up from the airport. I'll give him a sign with your name on it and he'll meet you in the arrivals (it's pretty small airport) - kinda like a chauffeur service I suppose!!! Keep having fun!

Have only skiied in Whistler & Blackcombe & that was great. Fantastic village & night life!

Look forward to seeing & hearing about the trails. If it is anything like the skiing, it would be pretty awesome.

Stay safe!!!

Say Hi to Brad for me! It's weird seeing the same sights that I saw on my trip over there, whilst in Victoria - but in your photos!!! Look forward to catching up in just over 2 weeks time! Blimey - is it that soon!!! Seen the KM's you've been putting in - it's putting me to shame - but I s'pose I gotta work whilst you're off playing! See ya soon!

hey dad looks like you are having a fantastic time. the photos are great. everything fine back here. see you in a few months xxx

Hi Geoff, Good to see you arrived safetly, It's a long haul across the Pacific! You will love Canada.

Look forward to hearing of your impressions of Whistler, were you can be another one of the Canadians ...."JAFA" Enjoy

That's not a marmott, thats just a very large rat!

I think they were having a laugh with you! Bit like the dropbears in Aus.... ;-)

Glad you arrived safely. Good job you moved on from LA after they had an earthquake of 5 today. The photos look good. Have a good time whilst in Victoria,

I think it is a bit like a mink. Was hunted for fur.

Glad you made it to your first destination safely. Never heard of a Marmot - what family does it belong to?

All is well at home - had dinner with Lucy last night.

Enjoy!!
