KM29,
Sombrio Beach Campground (west). It took us 10hrs for a 20km
hike, including breaks and lunch at Chin Beach.
This was our first time camping on sand, and it wasn't pleasant.
Nice cushoning though.
September
1, 2005. We left at 1130am. At this
point we were considering of finishing the trail for a couple
of reasons: First, my stove got sand all over it and has already
started malfunctioning. Second, what's another 20km???
We
reached our next target campground at KM40,
Payzant Creek Campground. We had lunch here and finally decide
if we wanted to stay one more night or push to the end. What's
another 7km???
So, we're off. It was a good thing that we decided to go. We
met a gentleman at the trail close to the end, and he offered
us a ride back to China Beach Campground (our trailhead).
This was something that we were hoping for the whole time we
were hiking. We were worried about how we could go back to our
car. What's hiking 47km back to the car??? That's suicide.
This hike took us 8.5hrs.
