The Rover-Landers of BC

Hi All,
A few years ago we did a "Peak to Peak adventure", this year we will revisit a similar route, only in reverse direction :shock:
So the basic 4 day route is below, there is a 3 day option (with a long drive home from Carpenter Lake) if you cant get the Tuesday off work.
This is a breath-taking, beautiful area to explore, wilderness areas, no facilities, 4 day off road adventure.
So... go see the "Boss" get your days booked off, get your Land Rover ready and lets see you out there....

Peak to Peak 4 Day Off-Road Adventure – Sat 27th to Tue 30th July 2019
Saturday Day 1 – Meet at Tim Hortons in Squamish (Industrial Way) at 9am, departing at 9.30am sharp, come early for breakfast / fuel etc.. Depart Squamish to Pavilion Mountain Peak to Pear Lake Camp (near Kelly Lake)
Sunday Day 2 – Departing Pear Lake camp at 9am, heading through Edge Hills Prov Park to the Big Bar Grand Canyon, using the free ferry to cross the river then crossing over China Head Mountain Peak to the Davy Jones Creek Camp.
Monday Day 3 – 9am depart Davy Creek camp for Poison Mountain Peak, then onto Mud Lakes and down to Carpenter Lake Camp
Tuesday Day 4 – 9am depart Carpenter Lake camp, south to the old Bralorne Mines, then down Hurley Pass to Pemberton and back to Squamish
Note- Drivers must be Rover-Landers Members
Bring everything you need for the 4 days wilderness camping, no amenities along the way, always a good idea to have spare fuel (the V8's for sure :shock: ). If there is a fire ban I will bring the Propane fire pit, always prepare for cold temperatures at night, hot temperatures during the day. Bring extra water, food, bug spray, sunscreen, spare parts and tool kit and of course a comfortable camp chair.
More details will be added over the next week,
Cheers,
Andy

I don’t have a “boss” so I’ll be there for entire trip, sounds great and areas I’ve not been to.

I was waiting for a trip like this, but can't make it :( Already have other bookings for the weekend of July 27/28... Have fun, hope we can join the next one.

Sam

Aaargh... Out of the country in July!

What are we doing for the labor day trip?

Conveniently I had scheduled time off for trip that weekend, I just need to move the Friday to Tuesday so count me in

I wish this trip was scheduled a week after on the August long weekend... I tried to change my plans (reservation) on July 27/28 with no luck, still can't make it.. :(

I'm in Andy and looking forward to it. Too bad some of you can't make it. I recommend you just blow off other responsibilities and come anyway. Andy will provide sick notes for those who need them.

Looks like I might be able to make it after all. Woo hoo!!

I'm in, but don't need a note from Andy, it will be nice to take a break from sailing :lol:

Fun fun fun

Count me in for the 4 days....my “boss” gave me the ok....reluctantly of course as she cannot attend.

Good to see some early interest, sorry to those who cant make that weekend. Unfortunately the selected dates can never work for everyone.

I have added some more details to the first post. The long range weather forecast is looking good for that weekend 8)

I'm in!

O'Doul and I have been given the time off by the boss so we will be there.

I will be there with the P38. I will drive up to Squamish on Friday as its too long from Chilliwack on Saturday morning. If anyone else is planning on being there Friday please let me know.
cheers,
Gordon

Leanne and I will be coming along too :)

Hi Andy I will be there for all 4 days if I am back from prospecting in Merritt in time.

How many Km do you think the whole loop will be?

Hi Colin,

As a rough guide, from the last petrol station at Lillooet to the next petrol station at Pemberton its approx 240kms off-road driving over the 4 days.
Off-road travel always seems to eat fuel faster, so its always a good idea to bring along some extra.
Coming from Merritt you will likely prefer to come through Lytton and meet us at Lillooet or even at Pear Lake?

cheers
Andy

Will not be attending due to a back issue that is not improving with time.

Thanks Andy and all those along for this run. A great group to go along with our always spectacular BC scenery. Looking forward to seeing Ricardo's video footage.

I agree with Bill. Thanks to all along for this run.

Here's an example of what those that couldn't make it, missed. :bounce:

Chris's 110 getting some "air".

Great trip ! Thanks for getting it organized Andy

The road along Mud lakes https://i.imgur.com/UOqMdrh.jpg

A couple of youtube links to the fun getting down to Mud lakes, Bjorn did a great job spotting and guiding, made my trip down rather sedate and mild.

That's Martin's (me) 1996 Disco 1 in the first vid and Stewart's 2008 LR3 in the 2nd one.
GREAT shots Richard. Many thanks!

Some more pics of vehicle's "getting air".

Bill's 110: Shawn's 90: And a video of them and others, "catching some air" at:

And pics of our 2 vehicle "breakdowns".

Stuart's power steering leak (white 110) getting a top up: Richard working on Craig's D1 that blew out the Rad's overflow tank:

Andy:
Great 4 day adventure for sure! Great roads (?) awesome camping spots and a great group for our campfire chats! Some new challenges to experience! Looking forward already to the next one.
Thanks for all your organizing and looking forward to our video guy Ricardo’s film!

Just got back from my detour to Sloquet Hot Springs. Was a nice side trip and I got to sleep in to 8AM this morning <g>. Had a great time with the group and was only scared out of my pants once or twice. Looking forward to the next adventure. Thanks to all for participating and making for a great run.
cheers,
Gordon
